DHSC already speaking to third-party operators
A replacement for the closed private wing at Noble's Hospital is on track to be in service by June next year.
Health Minister David Ashford revealed his department has already received expressions of interest from third parties interesting in running the facility.
The private patients unit has been shut since the start of the year to allow the DHSC to consider more modern options for the service.
Speaking on the Mannin Line, the Minister says the previous provision didn't meet the required standard:
Southern 100 planning to run classic sidecars for 2026
BMA to ballot doctors in the IOM for industrial action
Manx air quality 'significantly' better than UK average
Visitors told "take extra care" as TT Fan Park to reopen
Sidecars have 'been my life' says Lambert
