Manx Care says it's due to border implementations if they need to be transferred to the UK

Manx Care's air ambulance service is urging anyone being admitted to hospital to make sure they have packed a form of photographic ID.

It's in case they have to be transferred to a British hospital for treatment.

The service says due to border implementations, they are now needed 'wherever possible' when travelling to and from the UK.

It adds doing this will help to avoid complications and delays.
