£578,000 compensation paid by Manx Care since April

Manx Care has paid out more than £120,000 a month in compensation so far this financial year.

The figures were given in response to a freedom of information request about the total amount paid out by the organisation.

In its response, it said it had already given figures for the last five years after a previous FOI request.

But it said between April and August this year, it had paid out £578,219 after medical omissions and malpractice complaints.
