Health minister Lawrie Hooper says safety concerns are at the heart of a row over the Braddan Roundhouse.
This week in the House of Keys he faced questions about road access to parts of the Noble's Hospital site, including the new community facility.
Mr Hooper said his department had met Braddan Commissioners about the site.
But he claimed he was prioritising the national interest:
New NHS safety rule to be brought in on Island
Two city streets to shut for over six months
Revamp of airport terminal planned, says DOI
Four ferries now listed as cancelled today
One weekend sailing cancelled, others at risk because of weather
Politician questions risk of Easter meningitis outbreak
Firefighters tackle flat fire down South
Weather warning for storm Dave this weekend
