Extra cost almost £40,000

That from the Deparmtent of Health and Social Care, which each year recruits additional medical staff at Noble's hospital during the fortnight.
Providing the extra cover cost almost £40,000 this year - a sum released in a Freedom of Information request.
Health bosses say the cost is anticipated and not out of the ordinary.
Interim Director of Hospitals Mike Quinn says the logistics of dealing with accidents and injuries during the races are well understood:
Island falls silent to remember them
Average wait of 11 weeks for Disability Living Allowance claims
Man sexually assaulted woman as she slept on beach
Appeal for Onchan FC memorabilia
