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:
