The Isle of Man needs to have a national debate on how to provide health services going forward.
That’s the view of Middle MHK Howard Quayle, who says government is not collecting enough money from taxes to continue with the current level of service.
From April, the Department of Health and Social Care will have a budget of just over £184 million.
Later this year, Tynwald will be asked to approve further spending on a new IT system for Noble’s Hospital so that benchmarking can be introduced.
Mr Quayle says this is long overdue as much needed money has already been wasted:
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
