Procurement for a new service will go live in a 'matter of weeks'
Manx Care's confident a new dental provider in the north of the Island will be 'imminent'.
Grove Mount Dental in Ramsey was the only practice accepting NHS patients until it handed its contract back earlier this year.
It's hoped the new provider will be able to accommodate all previous patients there as well as a further 900.
Earlier this week, Manx Care announced plans to eliminate the waiting list for dental services on the Island, which currently has 6,112 people on it.
Directorate Manager for Integrated Primary Care and Therapy Services, Melissa Pinkard, and CEO Teresa Cope have been telling Amy Griffiths more:
