SIR - I am amazed that the County Air Ambulance is so often called out to help at accidents of all kinds and is still run on donations from the public.

Isn't it about time it was given an official status and be funded by the Government? This year they need an extra £2 million just to keep it in the air. So, how about putting your hand into your pocket, Gordon, and give some financial support?
