Minister confident in long-term solution
Vacancies and staff absences mean a ward at Noble's Hospital is short-staffed by seven nurses.
But in Tynwald this morning, Health and Social Care Minister Howard Quayle said patient safety is still a top priority.
He faced questions about the problems facing Ward 5 from North Douglas MHK John Houghton.
Mr Quayle said bank staff are covering in the short term, but the situation is about to improve:
Substantial damaged caused by fire station blaze
Two firefighters were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
‘No risk to public’ after fire at Castletown Fire Station
Emergency services tackle blaze near Ronaldsway
Not one affordable house available to buy
There were 266 applicants on the register as of 20 July
