Health Minister Comments On Jurby Health Centre Backlash

Health Minister David Anderson has been speaking to 3FM about the aftermath of the decision to push ahead with a £1.6 million health centre development in Jurby.

The move came in for fierce opposition from Kirk Michael residents who felt moving the clinic to Jurby would be a major inconvenience for the great majority of its would be users, especially the older users.

The new health centre will provide a modern two-GP surgery; it will also be able to double up as a space for community events.
 
Minister Anderson has said following the initial backlash things have started to calm down.
