Manx Care attempting to stop DNA's
Manx Care is going to pilot 'partial booking' in Noble's Hospital's orthopaedic department.
It's in an attempt to tackle high numbers of people not attending their appointments.
The system - which gives people an estimated date - was introduced in the UK by the Department of Health in 1999.
Director of Operations Oliver Radford explained some of the reasons for missed appointments at yesterday's board meeting:
Almost 3,000 take part in Pilates world record attempt at Knockaloe
Record for largest ever class remains unbroken, but crowds achieve separate accolade
Ben-my-Chree sailing cancelled due to 'technical issues'
All Manannan journeys are going ahead as planned
81 'unsafe squishy toys' seized
Parents urged to check for unsafe items
Manx Utilities open 'prior information notice' for Garff Sewage Treatment works
It says it's not a 'competitive tender process' at this stage
