But DHSC will have to provide progress reports to Tynwald
Tynwald will be given quarterly progress reports on efforts to reduce surgical waiting lists at Noble’s Hospital.
This week members unanimously backed plans to spend a further £18.3 million to tackle the issue.
It will go towards securing operations in the fields of orthopaedics, ophthalmology and general surgery.
Former minister David Ashford says it’s important the Department of Health and Social Care reports back regularly.
He spoke to Manx Radio's Simon Richardson after the money was approved:
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping on Tuesday
Manx students criticise lack of research into women's health
School leaders’ union claims members’ concerns ‘ignored’ amid Tynwald whistleblowing inquiry
Lord Street development granted planning permission
