An MHK wants to find out more about potentially using an Island bus service to help transport residents to vaccine appointments.

In a virtual sitting of the House of Keys this week, Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will question Infrastructure Minister, Tim Baker MHK, on the subject.

Mr Hooper will ask the minister when people will be able to use the ConnectPORTS service to book transport to and from their jab appointments.

The topic will be discussed when politicians convene again remotely from 10am on Tuesday.
