A rise in the number of cases could be down to Manx Care calculations
New data retrieved from a Freedom of Information request show the number of patients being admitted to hospital for cancer treatment has surged between 2019 and 2021.
Malcom Clague from the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association believes the rise could be down to Manx Care calculating figures in a different way and distortions from the pandemic.
But Health Minister Lawrie Hooper is urging cancer patients not to put off seeking treatment:
Former DOI minister expecting new CRHS to be 'over the £70 million mark'
"Rapid review" into bed capacity at Noble's Hospital
Still 'very low risk' of meningitis outbreak on Island
MHK 'disappointed but not surprised' over secondary school delay
FoI statistics to be published quarterly to improve transparency
