DHSC moving service to Noble's Hospital in Douglas
A Ramsey commissioner has taken a town MHK to task for comments attributed to him in the local media.
Lawrie Hooper's quoted as saying he was 'disappointed' the Friends of Ramsey Cottage Hospital focused more on money than patient care when discussing the ending of the endoscopy service in the town.
Some equipment, funded by the Friends, will now be transferred to Noble's Hospital.
Eric Corkish says the Friends should be praised for their efforts.
Mr Hooper has responded, saying the remarks were borne out of a 'frustration' with the whole affair.
He says the real issue is why the DHSC has made the decision:
Vote on Castle Rushen High School funding 'very unlikely' before election
Ramsey Commissioners to host public meeting about cottage hospital
DfE provided more than £250,000 to MT to assist with below ground fibre installations
Man given suspended sentence after importing 2kg of cannabis to Island
