LibVan chair discusses hospital pressures
Government needs to consider more incentives to attract health and care workers to live and work on the Isle of Man.
That's from the chair of the Liberal Vannin party of which Health Minister Lawrie Hooper is leader.
Pressures on Noble's Hospital this month meant people were told to keep away from the emergency department unless they needed urgent treatment.
They have now subsided.
Paul Weatherall says the UK is under similar pressure but more people are being trained up there to help ease the situation:
New Year Honours for six Isle of Man residents
Island enjoyed 'reasonable' summer despite no record-breaking temperatures
Head of Ambulance Service 'really privileged' to receive New Year Honour
Chief Fire Officer 'overwhelmed' after receiving New Year Honour
