There has been a fall in the number of people who are missing appointments at Noble’s Hospital.
Between January 2013 and January this year appointments classed as ‘DNAs’ reduced by nine per cent – with just over 8,000 missed.
The Department of Health says the improvement is due to a new centralised appointments bureau at the hospital which acts as a one stop appointment shop.
Minister Howard Quayle says it's an important problem to tackle as missed appointments push up waiting times for other people:
Ramsey Remembrance service to be marked by maroon rockets
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
How will Manx Care reduce the number of negligence claims?
Manx Language Festival to be held next week
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
