What I find strange (?) is that the LAA does not seem to be run by the government, but by a charity:
> London's Air Ambulance Charity is a registered charity that operates a helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) dedicated to responding to serious trauma emergencies in and around London.[3] Using a helicopter from 08:00 to sunset and rapid response vehicles by night, the service performs advanced medical interventions at the scene of the incident in life-threatening, time-critical situations.

> When London calls, our team are there to reach those urgently in need of life-saving care. Our vision is to end preventable deaths in London from life-threatening injury. Our mission is to save more lives in London through rapid response and cutting-edge care. We are a charity that works alongside the NHS and our life-saving service is made possible by you; our supporters.
