Health recruitment 'a global issue' says Minister
A Tynwald committee's been told the hiring of locum doctors for Noble's hospital is one of the biggest factors behind a multi-million pound health department overspend.
The DHSC exceeded its budget by more than £11 million in the last financial year.
Giving oral evidence to the Public Accounts Committee this week (9 Oct) Health Minister Kate Beecroft said the overspend was 'largely down to the number of locums' working on the Island.
Mrs Beecroft insists recruitment in the health sector is a global issue:
Another amber weather warning issued
Work underway to re-establish private patients unit
Last chance to have your say on Steam Packet's new vessel
Port St Mary Commissioners increase rates by eight percent
