The Island's Health Minister has admitted it will take a long time to get hospital waiting times back to pre-covid levels.
David Ashford MHK made the comments during a Covid-19 briefing held on Thursday.
Health and Social Care services across the Isle of Man returned to normal service earlier this week following the end of the circuit-break lockdown on Monday (February 1).
Mr Ashford says more resources will be allocated to help manage the issue:
