The Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance (LNAA) has been grounded due to a failure to renew its license for carrying controlled drugs. This administrative oversight has led the East Midlands Ambulance Service to identify increased patient safety risks without access to these medications. However, Chief Executive Karen Jobling argued that the air ambulance should still operate with non-controlled drugs while awaiting the license renewal, highlighting a conflict between operational needs and safety regulations.
