Health minister quizzed over staffing numbers
The health minister says red tape is having an impact on the Island’s Covid-19 testing programme - despite an increase in staff.
In Tynwald today it was revealed that eight staff, working from 9-5, produced around 10 tests per hour.
However a 13-strong team, working 14 hour days, produced 4.6.
David Ashford said it's due to processes which need to be followed:
Patients 'strongly satisfied' with virtual GP pilot
Service to be evaluated before decision on whether to expand to other practices
Island to mark the golden anniversary of the Millennium of Tynwald
Tynwald Ceremony Arrangements Committee to oversee the organisation
Tynwald backs major overhaul of Isle of Man planning system
A more efficient, user-friendly process is promised
Laxey Christmas Market returns
More than 100 vendors expected there this weekend
