Hooper Queries Patient Transfer Costs

From Isle of Man Newspapers:

Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper asked what the average cost was to patient transfers of a patient journey from their home to the airport in each of the last two financial years, and for the current financial year.

He also asked what the average cost is of transporting a patient from their home to the airport using the new ConnectPorts service.

In a written reply, Health Minister David Ashford said the cost of patient transfer was £13.46 per journey in 2017-18 and £12.91 in 2018-19.
