Some people are abusing the first class service being provided by doctors in the Isle of Man, according to the Chairman of the Island's GP Subcommitee.
Dr Alex Allinson says 40 appointments are lost every week at his Ramsey practice, because people are late or fail to turn up at all.
Dr Allinson believes attitudes need to change:
Bird flu warning after outbreak in Yorkshire
Cases discovered on farm in East Riding
Sexual Health Centre temporarily closes for move
Will reopen in new location next week
Rising university fees push more Manx students to consider studying locally
UK fees are set to rise by a little under £300, despite Labour's pledge to abolish them
HMRC names Isle of Man firm in tax avoidance scheme
