Management of Air Ambulance Services
The Auditor General, Alastair Swarbrick, made public today a Public Interest Report on the management of air ambulance services in the Cayman Islands. The work was performed by the Office of the Auditor General after concerns about the service were identified during the audit in 2011 on the Management of Overseas Medical Services.
The Auditor General highlights a number of concerns about how air ambulance services are managed by the various agencies involved including the unlicensed operation of a ground handling service for air ambulances operating at Owen Roberts International Airport.
“I am pleased to provide this public interest report to the Legislative Assembly regarding my concerns about the operation of air ambulance services,” said Mr. Swarbrick. “This service is critical to the health care of the people of the Cayman Islands and I hope my report will provide the impetus for the necessary improvements.”
