Health minister defends pay as recruitment incentive
Government pays hospital consultants on average around £43,000 more than what they receive in the UK.
Health Minister David Ashford provided the figures in a Tynwald answer to a question from Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson.
The average amount paid on the Isle of Man for full-time hospital consultants in the last year (2020-21) was £190,000.
Mr Ashford says the Island has to do what it can to attract qualified individuals:
Police investigating graffiti targeting Doug Barrowman and Michelle Mone
Message painted across road in the south
How to bring Mooir Vannin power into Manx grid 'yet to be agreed'
Orsted and Manx Utilities working on solution to bring windfarm electricity onshore
Surge in interest from off-Island in Manx properties, says agent
Employment, retirement, and taxation amongst reasons given
New scam targeting vulnerable people with fall alarms in their homes
Alarm provider says customers have been contacted this morning
