The Welshpool Air Ambulance base will officially close after 2026 after a final vote on the matter by Wales’ seven health boards.
In a meeting of the Welsh NHS’ Joint Commissioning Committee, the majority voted to close the base - which has served Powys for nearly 20 years along with a base in Caernarfon - and merge the two into a new site in North Wales, despite fierce opposition from the public.
She said the bespoke rapid response vehicle service in the recommendation is ‘essential mitigation’ for the changing bases and if details are not sufficient by October the committee should look at the options again. But he said there would be no changes to the bases before 2026 and the bespoke rapid response service would be in place by then.
But Mr Harrhy insisted the Wales Air Ambulance Charity needed certainty to be able to start making their plans for the change ahead.
