Three urgent questions tabled for this month's Tynwald sitting

GNAAS contract and potential nurses strike among the topics

Three urgent questions have been added to this month's Tynwald order paper.

Two of them are from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse.

He wants to ask the health minister to provide an update on contract negotiations with the Great North Air Amublance Service over the continuing operations of the service.

It's after Manx Radio revealed the contract could run out at the end of the month if the charity and Manx Care couldn't reach a funding agreement.

Mr Moorhouse also wants to find out from the education minister why University College Isle of Man is vacating the Nunnery.

Meanwhile Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper wants to know the situation regarding pay awards at Manx Care and potential strike action by nurses.
