When did North wales air ambulance start?

The air ambulance in North Wales is part of the charity Wales Air Ambulance, which has three helicopters - based in Caernarfon, Swansea and Welshpool. The charity was established on St David's Day 2001 in Swansea and covered the whole of Wales. The charity introduced a paramedic on a police helicopter to assist with medical emergencies in the north. With public support Wales Air Ambulance was able to launch a helicopter in Caernarfon in July 2003, enabling the service to respond to emergency calls more rapidly across the north of Wales. Its three helicopters can reach anywhere in Wales within 20 minutes, and has carried out approx. 11,000 missions. Wales was the last country and region in Europe to have an air ambulance service, but has since grown to become one of the busiest air ambulance operations in the UK.
