MHK gets permission to ask urgent question on breast screening

Manx Care has stopped routine service at Noble's Hospital

The health minister will be questioned tomorrow on why routine breast screening has been suspended at Noble’s Hospital.

Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh has been given permission to ask an urgent question in the House of Keys.  

He wants to know how many people will be affected and when the service will be restarted.

Manx Care announced it had suspended routine screening on Friday whilst 'updates are made to the programme'. 

Despite requests from Manx Radio the health service wouldn’t provide clarity on what this meant.

On Tuesday (14 February) Lawrie Hooper will also be asked what updates to the programme are being undertaken when MHKs sit at 10am.
