Health Minister confirms it's an idea being considered
Government is looking into whether a Psychiatric Decisions Unit could be set up at Noble's Hospital.
The facilities, which are employed in other jurisdictions, help those in crisis who are under the influence of drink or drugs.
They're currently taken to the Accident and Emergency Department at the hospital.
Health Minister David Ashford gave the details to Tynwald:
