Demand currently outstripping resources, says Manx Care
If demand for cancer services on the Isle of Man continues to increase, it will impact other non-cancer services.
That's from Manx Care's Operations Director after the healthcare operator recorded its busiest ever month for cancer referrals, with 455 new patients registered in May.
The board has budgeted for a 3 per cent rise in demand, but cancer services are currently seeing a year-on-year increase of around 11 per cent.
Manx Care CEO Teresa Cope, Operations Director Oliver Radford and first Finance Director Jackie Lawless have been discussing the sustainability of the service:
Fast-tracked legislation was designed to close 'loophole of expanding problem'
Farmers 'feeling the squeeze' more than ever says MNFU
MLC given leave to introduce bill to tackle gazumping and gazundering
Media Isle of Man 'investigating' after 560 newspapers found dumped
