Michael MHK Alf Cannan says Department of Health initiatives to reduce waiting lists have been little more than 'scraping the edge' of the problem so far.
He was less than impressed with Health Minister David Anderson's response to his question on the matter in Tynwald.

Mr Cannan said that wasn't good enough, as far as he was concerned:
