Concerns over air ambulance service to be raised

Tuesday, 11 December 2012 00:00

Concerns relating to the air ambulance service will be raised in Tynwald today.

Middle MHK Howard Quayle has tabled two questions on the matter for Health Minister David Anderson.

He wants to know what action has been taken to address concerns relating to the transfer service and the "unsatisfactory environment of the aircraft” – something he says was raised in a report six years ago.

Mr Quayle also wants to know if anyone has been placed in a post to be accountable for the safe running of the air ambulance service.
