Manx Care director hits back at politicians

Manx Care's outgoing director of operations Shaun Stacey has pointed the finger at politicians for the Island's ongoing healthcare problems.

He's the third high-profile figure at the organisation to leave this year, after chief executive Teresa Cope and chair Professor Wendy Reid announced they'd be leaving.

In a post on LinkedIn, he says "Politics should set the destination. It shouldn't keep grabbing the steering wheel, shouting directions and then blaming the driver when the car ends up in a ditch."

He also criticised funding plans, saying politicians shouldn't be surprised there are problems if they don't provide enough money to run the service properly.
