Patients on the Isle of Man will receive better care when a new mental health unit opens its doors at the end of this month.
Over £7 million has been spent building Manannan Court which will replace Grainagh Court on the Noble's Hospital estate:
It is 30 per cent larger than the former facility with 26 beds and incorporates safety measures which should reduce the risk of self harm.
The Department of Health and Social Care says it's a move away from the 'institutionalised' view many people associate with facilities like this - Minister Kate Beecroft agrees:
Weather warning for snow tonight
MHK queries safety at primary school in Ballabeg
Gales put two ferry sailings at risk tonight
Should the Island throw a birthday party for Barry Gibb?
Warning issued over icy roads
High ground could see 4 inches of snow on Saturday night
Mountain Road unlikely to open before Monday
Yellow warning for freezing temperatures tonight
