A major management restructuring programme at Noble's Hospital has been approved by the Council of Ministers.
The changes were proposed in a report carried out by Beamans management consultants.
It recommends a new framework with a hospital managing director reporting to a governing board, which in turn would be accountable to the Health Minister.
The existing structure was deemed inadequate to meet modern demands.
Chief Minister Allan Bell outlines why change needs to happen:
Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
Government advice following spike in data breaches
Plans for four-foot flood walls at Ramsey harbour
Garage blaze in the early hours of this morning
