Manx Care CEO says move not needed 'at this moment'
Manx Care doesn't want to start charging people for attending the emergency department, but the policy is 'on a long list of considerations'.
That's from CEO, Teresa Cope, who says the board discussed the policy at its latest meeting in light of financial challenges.
It's seen as a way to keep people from visiting the emergency department when they don't need to, and a similar system is in place in Guernsey.
Mrs Cope, live on the Mannin Line this lunchtime, was asked if it could be introduced here:
Three-month wait for state pension forecast statements
OFT to investigate possible regulation of funeral directors
"One of the Island's foremost champions of Manx heritage" to receive Tynwald Honour
No timeline yet for reinstatement of rehab service to north
Venezuela Fury & Noah Price wedding "a true showcase of the breadth and quality of Manx services"
