A potentially life-saving initiative could soon be set up in the south of the Island.

It’s being run by St John Ambulance in partnership with ambulance trusts in the United Kingdom. A similar scheme has already proved successful in Ramsey.
Member of the southern authorities healthcare trust committee, Rushen commissioner Adrian Tinkler (pictured), says it's much needed in the south:
