But Magson says some progress has been made
GP recruitment on the Isle of Man is something that's continually 'taxed' the Department of Health and Social Care.
That's according to the interim chief executive who says despite this some progress has been made in the past few months.
Kathryn Magson gave evidence to a Social Affairs Policy Review Committee yesterday.
She says a number of initiatives have proved helpful in attracting new doctors to the Island:
First in series of 'Isle be Ready' sessions to take place next month
More online services for drivers
New support centre 'an oasis' for cancer patients
Orrisdale Road to close for a month for resurfacing works
