Only one gastroenterologist currently employed
Manx Care has accepted the Isle of Man’s gastroenterology service is experiencing 'real challenges'.
There is currently only one gastroenterologist working at Noble's Hospital.
The service is under 'very high demand' and the health body wants to recruit a second.
Chief executive Teresa Cope says they are working to try and tackle waiting times and access to medication:
