Bus scheme launched for patients with off-Island appointments

A new service has been launched for people who need to travel off-Island for medical appointments.

The Department of Health and Social Care is piloting a bus scheme, which will begin next week.

Residents in the north of the Island will be collected from home and dropped off at either the airport or Sea Terminal.

A minibus operated by Bus Vannin will start at 5am, ahead of the earliest departures each day. 

If proved successful, the DHSC will extend the service to all patients, and their travelling companions from September.
