Ministry of Justice cheque presentation
2010-07-26
Mr Masters received a cheque for $57,470 from New Plymouth MP Jonathon Young as part of a $48 million government commitment to implementing a New Zealand ambulance services strategy over the next four years.
"The Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust provides a vital service and it has been encouraging to see the support from the community increase" said Mr Young. "Air ambulance helicopters are there 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Government is working hard to ensure these critcial, life-saving services continue to serve the community and save lives".
Mr Masters commented that "In the recent Westpac-sponsored national Chopper appeal, Taranaki people donated $19,295, a 115% increase on the previous appeal."
