There can be no 'sacred cows' in the top-to-bottom review of health services in the Isle of Man.
So says the Department of Health, which is currently scrutinising every service it provides to ensure value for money.
These range from specialist hospital treatments to exemptions from prescription and dental charges.
In depth reviews are also being carried out into the Family Planning Service, NHS dentistry and the number of nurses employed.
But the DHS is rejecting a recent suggestion it is over-staffed by administrators, insisting most managers at Noble's are involved in patient care.
The department's £130 million budget is the largest in government and political member Dudley Butt, MLC, says an ongoing review of priorities is vital:
Wind farm debate to continue before committee
Call for compensation scheme for workers who become ill after contact with asbestos
Manx WWII veteran hopeful King will 'treasure' Island visit for the rest of his life
Port Erin Commissioners says standards of initial hiring process for new clerk 'fell short'
