Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood says sending patients for treatment is costing her department more than £650,000 a year.
This week in the House of Keys she faced questions about non-emergency transport from Onchan MHK Julie Edge.
Miss Edge wanted more details about the service after the DOI took it over.
Dr Haywood said it was difficult to give concrete figures for its cost:
