Manx Care CEO confident it's 'value for money'
Using external medical providers to try and reduce hospital waiting lists on the Isle of Man is expected to cost £1.8 million.
Six thousand outpatient appointments are being outsourced to Medefer with NHS specialists due to conduct virtual consultations over seven specialties.
Scottish based Synaptik is bringing a team of specialist clinicians to the Island this month to carry out cataract surgery.
Manx Care chief executive Teresa Cope says using the two companies, and instigating a project for orthopaedics, is good value for money:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
