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:
Fire crews called to Kirk Michael
Parliament Street pedestrianisation idea quashed by commissioners
Police hunt hit-and-run R-plate driver
Warning about snow on Mountain Road
Cliff the puffin settles in Cornwall
Ben my Chree helping on Dublin-Heysham route
Cost of sending letters is increasing in the new year
