Yes, that must be an emergency as they have a landing strip at the NG.

There's a fairly new helipad close to the entrance to A & E. I believe there is a sloping path from the pad down to the doors. (It's easier to push a casualty downhill.)

I recall there was a fundraising appeal for this helipad a few years back. It was operational in August 2016.

I'm glad to say, no, I don't.  I didn't hear it.

Just been told, that due to the exceptionally dry spell were having, the Rivelin Dams have caught fire..

Hope there's no casualties.
