Saving on locums and bank: £1.7 million in 2017/18
Locum doctors don't 'rule the roost' at Noble's Hospital - on the contrary, locum and bank spend has been cut by 24.3 per cent in the last year.
That's according to director Mike Quinn in response to comments from workers' union; Unite.
Head of the Isle of Man Branch; Eric Holmes said agency doctors have formed a monopoly there, and are hampering efforts to recruit, and make savings.
Mr Quinn explains why that's a misleading, and a false accusation:
Three-month wait for state pension forecast statements
OFT to investigate possible regulation of funeral directors
"One of the Island's foremost champions of Manx heritage" to receive Tynwald Honour
No timeline yet for reinstatement of rehab service to north
Venezuela Fury & Noah Price wedding "a true showcase of the breadth and quality of Manx services"
