## Description

Tele-Medical Assistance Service \(TMAS\) cover required during British Airline Pilots Association \(BALPA\) strike periods is as per original contract requirements\. BALPA strike action, resulting in reduced or non-existent rescue helicopter provision would mean other SAR assets such as lifeboats and Coastguard Rescue Teams may have to deal with casualty care/medical issues afloat or ashore which is beyond their training and competence\. TMAS advice would support such situations until a Healthcare professional can access the casualty\. A 6 month arrangement is required to be put in place to mitigate this risk during strike periods\. Both parties however reserve the right to extend this requirement by a further 6 months subject to agreement
