Today the Evening News is calling on readers to help the air ambulance save more lives by raising money for vital new equipment.
NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner says new Air Ambulance aircraft mean regional parts of the state will be served by quicker and larger planes.
The Midlands Air Ambulance spent £6.026 million from April 2010 to April 2011. It received £5.32 million from charities, £640,000 from trading and other smaller sums.
