Island mustn't relax when comparing local figures to England
The director of public health insists the Isle of Man mustn't be complacent when comparing its health data to England's.
The Manx government recently published figures on a range of health and wellbeing issues, showing how the Island performs compared to England.
The information is compiled from various sources, including census data, surveys and hospital records.
Dr Henrietta Ewart believes it is fair to make direct comparisons between England and the Isle of Man:
