Medical helicopter evacuations on the rise

The Department of Infrastructure says the number of medical airlifts from Noble's Hospital has been steadily rising over the past three years.

A Freedom of Information request asked for the number of times helicopters had used the landing pad at the Braddan facility since March 2022.

In its response, the DOI said in 2023 there'd been 15 - while the following year there'd been 21.

And this year the figures show there have been 18 landings so far.
