Health minister says effects could last beyond a year
The coronavirus pandemic will have a 'big impact' on hospital waiting lists, for potentially more than a year.
Health Minister David Ashford made the comments speaking live on Manx Radio's Mannin Line.
Noble's is now starting up many of its treatments, which had been on hold due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Mr Ashford says waiting times will also be affected by events in neighbouring jurisdictions:
