The Liberal Vannin Party is calling for an external independent audit of Noble’s Hospital.

She’s now set up the Isle of Man Health and Care Association which will be assisted by Dr Lynne Hulme who worked as a non-executive director at the Staffordshire hospital after the Francis Enquiry.
Mrs Beecroft says she is horrified:
