Many constituents have contacted me on this issue, and the strong feeling is that the north-west is in danger of being excluded from a very important service once again. I know how much the service means to local people, the lives that have been saved and the benefits of having this rapid response service on our doorstep. So, I call upon the Welsh Government to prove—to prove—that the proposed change won't endanger the availability and the response times of the service for those communities that are, to all intents and purposes, dependent on the air ambulance in emergencies. 

There is a clear message being shared in the Senedd today, and I do truly hope that the Minister is listening and can do everything within her power to share and pass on that message, and to take action as a Government too. We have to retain this service in Caernarfon and in Welshpool.
