Clinic dates to be set six weeks in advance
Hospital appointments will be booked six weeks in advance to try and reduce the number of people who don't turn up.
Manx Care says there is an issue with patients who do not attend – or DNA.
It's blamed the fact clinics are booked too far in advance with appointments made, in some cases, for 12 months in the future.
Director of operations Oliver Radford says the Island will start following the UK model:
Palatine GP changes booking system
MGP Supporters Club to make decision on charity next month
Isle of Man residents to take medical supplies to Cuba
"Clowngate": MHKs start 2026 with a war of words
Island has to 'plan for things we hope will never happen'
