There is no additional cost to the State when the number of HEMS or other aeromedical support missions such as inter hospital transfer missions exceed 12. My Department and the HSE National Ambulance Service have agreed arrangements in place for the operation of this service including arrangements for transfer of funds when this number is exceeded.

The cost to the State for additional services over and above the 12 per month is set out in the following table.
