Manx Care to look at options in September
The time is now right to embrace the private patient agenda on the Isle of Man.
That's from the chief executive of Manx Care who's asked for options to be presented when the healthcare board meets in September.
The private patients unit at Noble's Hospital was closed for refurbishment in 2019 and used to increase capacity in the hospital during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Teresa Cope says Manx Care's focus has been on reducing waiting lists and staffing challenges but staff at Noble's are keen to see the provision return:
Contractors to start installing 20mph signs in Douglas and Onchan
Road closures in place following incident in Hillberry area
Accessible bus stops rolled out across Bus Vannin network
£1 million National AI Office launched to coordinate artificial intelligence policy and adoption
