Extra £10 million approved for DHSC
Problems of filling permanent healthcare positions on the Island need to be tackled.
That's the message from the health minister who says relying on bank or agency staff is an expensive alternative.
This week Tynwald approved an extra £10 million for Lawrie Hooper's department to make up a financial shortfall.
He says finding homes, and schools, for workers from off-Island is what's proving problematic:
Mountain Road to stay closed overnight
Some areas still 'extremely slippery' following snowfall
Horse Tramway business case 'under final review'
Case 'decoupled' from Tramway Terrace Project
BMA finds less than a quarter of doctors recommend working at Manx Care
The union says its latest staff survey is a "damning indictment" of healthcare provider
Thirteen people entered or tried to enter the Island without immigration permission since January 2025
