Just eight available for work
Noble's Hospital is currently operating with under half of the anaesthetists it should have.
That's according to Manx Care which has revealed to Manx Radio the extent of the staff shortages.
An investigation is ongoing after an 'incident' at the hospital earlier this year but government has refused to confirm if any anaesthetists have been suspended because of it.
Chief executive Teresa Cope admits they don't have the numbers they should:
