Manx Care says the move is because more care is being delivered in the community
A Ramsey commissioner says he's 'disappointed' by Manx Care's decision to reduce the number of beds available at Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital.
The healthcare provider says it's moving more of its inpatient rehabilitation into the community has resulted in a reduced occupancy and therefore a reconfiguration of the Martin Ward.
That's led to the number of beds being reduced by 30 percent - from 31 to 20.
But Juan McGuinness says he has concerns about the long-term implications of the move:
Manx Care has been approached for a comment.
Manx Care asks all GPs to formally adopt Jess's Rule
Government 'taking rising fuel prices seriously'
DOI issues 'final' offer to bus drivers
Hospice's 'essential core services' will remain protected
