The cost of a trip to New Zealand, organised by health authorities to examine the country's healthcare system, will be raised in the House of Keys today.

Douglas MHK Brenda Cannell will quiz Health Minister Howard Quayle over his decision to examine models other than the UK NHS on which the Manx healthcare system is based.

Mrs Cannell wants to know what the purpose of the trip is, who is going, how long for and at what cost.
