Hooper concerned by recent Flybe uncertainty
Uncertain times for Flybe have highlighted the risk of relying on one provider for Island patient transfers.
That's the concern of Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper, who's set to question the health and social care minister in Tynwald next week (Tuesday, 21 January).
The regional airline has now agreed a payment plan with HM Revenue and Customs, for "less than £10m".
Mr Hooper says despite this agreement, the situation has drawn attention to a flaw in the current system:
Health and Social Care Minister David Ashford says the situation is under control:
Fast-tracked legislation was designed to close 'loophole of expanding problem'
Farmers 'feeling the squeeze' more than ever says MNFU
MLC given leave to introduce bill to tackle gazumping and gazundering
Media Isle of Man 'investigating' after 560 newspapers found dumped
