Andrew Foster to take charge of new organisation
The newly-appointed chair of Manx Care says precise focus from management is needed.
Andrew Foster CBE will be coming to the Island as soon as Covid regulations permit.
The body is being set up to run the Island's health services following the recommendations of a review into the Manx healthcare system.
He says the difficulties faced currently stem from the structure of health provision:
