Time off crucial to protect staff welfare, says MHK
Ensuring healthcare workers find time to take a break is vital to protect staff welfare following the coronavirus outbreak.
Annual leave for those providing medical services was cancelled at the height of lockdown, while border restrictions mean it's not feasible for some to take trips off-Island.
A total of 339 cases of coronavirus have been recorded on the Isle of Man since the first positive test in March, including three non-community cases this month.
Political member for the Department of Health and Social Care Clare Barber MHK says time off is crucial for those on the frontline:
More than 3,000 jobs added to economy since September 2021
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
