Hospice chief exec says relaxation needed
Changes to the Island's work permit system are a result of an increasing need for qualified healthcare staff, according to Hospice Chief Executive Margaret Simpson.
From October 1, nurses, midwives and social workers who are not Isle of Man workers will no longer need to acquire a permit.
Mrs Simpson says in recent years recruiting qualified workers has become more difficult.
She says it's due to a number of reasons:
Sitting MHK no longer seeking re-election in September
Tim Glover says the health of his wife must now come first
Onchan residents brand offshore windfarm ‘travesty’ and ‘nothing but negative’
Commissioners organised a drop- in session for residents to learn more about scheme
MHK 'frustrated' at pace of progress over cigarettes and vaping products
Committee calling for generational ban
Island residents in favour of social media ban for under 16s
'Quick poll' shows support for UK style restrictions
