Calling the air ambulance out to three sporting incidents cost the taxpayer tens of thousands of pounds, it's been revealed.
Health Minister Claire Christian gave the figure in the House of Keys this week as she was quizzed by Onchan MHK Julie Edge.
Mrs Christian said of 55 air ambulance callouts since 2021, three were for sport or leisure-related incidents and those costs couldn't be claimed back from individuals or organisers.
She revealed how much in total the cost had been to call the service out:
24-hour kayak marathon raises hundreds for charity
Fire caused by charging RC car controller
Manx police looking to recruit UK officers
Great progress on Peel sewage works, says MU
How much has been spent on carbon literacy training?
Gov made no assessment before apprentice scheme changes
Government strategy to promote local food under spotlight
