Nativity figures donated by a church in Douglas have been put back on public display at Noble’s Hospital.
It follows criticism that they had been moved to the chapel because they had apparently been deemed “inappropriate”.
The Island’s Bishop Robert Paterson says he couldn’t understand how they could cause offence:
The Department of Health and Social Care says it was an "operational decision" made with the best of intentions and the figures were moved because they were too big.
Minister Howard Quayle says it's certainly sparked discussion:
