Manx Care saw high attendances at ED, MIU and MEDS during TT fortnight
The cost impact the Island's motorsports events have on Manx Care will need to be resolved if health services are to be delivered on budget.
That's from Manx Care Chief Executive Teresa Cope, who described motorsport-related activity as "an unfunded cost pressure" in the organisation's latest board papers.
This year's TT fortnight saw more than 2,000 attendances at the Emergency Department and Minor Injuries Unit, almost 1,500 calls to MEDS and more than 1,400 x-rays.
With almost 55,000 visitors recorded over the racing period, vice-chair Sarah Pinch says it's a huge number of people potentially needing Manx Care's services:
Minister wants to see greater focus on reuse over recycling
Population 'not growing as quickly as we'd like' but Island is attracting younger workers
Packed order paper for final Tynwald sitting before summer recess
Volunteers breathe new life into community garden
New Port Erin lifeboat 'perfect' for Manx coastline
