Air Ambulance employees and the Ambulance Service (Emergency Duties) Long Service and Good Conduct Medal

That this House notes with concern that employees of air ambulance charities, including paramedics, doctors, nurses, critical care practitioners, pilots, technicians, and those in leadership, training, or command roles with prior frontline service, are currently ineligible for the Ambulance Service (Emergency Duties) Long Service and Good Conduct Medal; further notes that these professionals undertake duties fully aligned with NHS emergency care, including responding to life-threatening incidents and delivering urgent and emergency patient care; believes that the exclusion of air ambulance personnel from this formal recognition fails to reflect the parity and value of their service; and calls on the Government to review eligibility for the Ambulance Service (Emergency Duties) Long Service and Good Conduct Medal with a view to extending recognition to appropriately qualified air ambulance staff.
