Health Care Association back hospital review

The Isle of Man Health Care Association has given its full backing to an urgent review of the health service.

The association was formed to investigate the quality of care that the public receives at Noble's Hospital and whether it represents fair value.

MHK Kate Beecroft has been instrumental in raising concerns to Tynwald members - she says she eagerly awaits Mr Anderson's update in next months sitting:
