It's a voluntary service!
If you are a member of mountain rescue and you want to withdraw your services you're totally free to do so. If you're not a member of mountain rescue it's really none of your beeswax.
Lets just trust them to make appropriate decisions to look after their own team members as well as other people.
Edit to add: If any of us have one to spare, it wouldn't hurt to drop a quid in a (virtual) collecting tin either - their regular fundraising efforts will be severely curtailed for the foreseeable future.
