Island doctors raise series of issues
The head of the professional body for GPs has been in the Island today to fly the flag and hear concerns about staffing, funding and workloads.
Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard, Chair of the Royal College of General Practioners, has been visiting members at a series of meetings and talks.
Family doctors told her of concerns about growing patient lists, and a recruitment problem with the potential to leave some surgery posts empty in the long term.
Professor Stokes-Lampard says there are pressing issues for health chiefs to grasp and deal with:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
