Over 3,000 patients seen for operations since 2021

Manx Care says it has significantly reduced waiting times for operations in the last three years.

Since it launched the Restoration and Recovery Programme in November 2021, 47 per cent of patients waiting for orthopedics, 60 per cent for general surgery and 83 per cent for ophthalmology have seen a reduction in waiting times.

Over 3,000 operations have been delivered in that time - more than 847 patients had a hip or knee replaced, 1,794 had their sight improved through cataract operations and 515 had hernias repaired or gallbladders removed. 

The report on phase two will be laid before the June sitting of Tynwald.
