The Health and Social Care Minister has blamed "Manx rumours" for concern over the future of a northern medical hub.
It follows suggestions that Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital was closing.

Kate Beecroft has quashed rumours that the operating theatre will be closing and says she has no plans to "threaten the future" of the facility:
