Isle of Wight Conservative MP, Bob Seely, says the voluntary sector provides a really important role in making sure people are getting the help they need
It's thought the use of drones between the Isle of Wight and the mainland will help speed up diagnoses by cutting out time spent journeying on ferries and roads, say the MP's office
Seely said that it's estimated the additional cost of providing healthcare on the Isle of Wight - to the same standard as on the mainland - is about £12 million
Bob Seely took the opportunity to remind the Secretary of State for Health, Matt Hancock, of the historic imbalances in regional funding that had left the Island disadvantaged
