Answer

Following my announcement about the establishment of a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) for Northern Ireland, my Department launched a public consultation on 23 November 2015 which will close on 22 January 2016. I will announce my decision about the key issues related to this service after I have fully considered the responses to the consultation.
