Welsh health boards have given the green light to close two Air Ambulance bases after 2026 following a vote on the matter.

A meeting of the Welsh NHS’ Joint Commissioning Committee voted that the Welshpool and Caernarfon bases will be closed after 2026. The sites will be merged into a new site in north Wales.

However, the decision hinges on acceptable plans being developed for a bespoke car-based service in rural areas.
