But MHK queries why it isn't a higher priority
Progress on the creation of a new ambulance station in the east of the Island could be made by the end of spring 2025.
The health and social care minister says an ‘appropriate estate’ is needed to continue to deliver a high-quality service.
The Care Quality Commission has previously noted issues with the size of Douglas Ambulance Station, on Ballakermeen Road, as well as heating and storage.
Lawrie Hooper says it was only ever designed to be used on a ‘temporary' basis when it moved there in 2002.
He told the last sitting of the House of Keys before the summer recess that a new ‘basic’ design would meet requirements but be flexible enough to be re-purposed in the future.
A case for a new building has been prepared for Treasury.
But Douglas Central MHK Chris Thomas queried why it wasn’t a higher priority:
