132 medical vacancies available at end of October
A UK-wide shortage of podiatrists has impacted the Island's ability to recruit staff.
That's according to Health Minister David Ashford, who was asked about the issue by a caller on Manx Radio's Mannin Line programme.
The latest unemployment figures from the Isle of Man Government show the medical sector has the second-highest number of vacant posts on the Island, with 132 roles available at the end of October.
Mr Ashford insists it's not just a problem for the Island:
Local heritage group urging residents to object to demolition of school building
Pharmacists 'uncomfortable' over proposed contract changes
People urged to help protect countryside during hot spell
Man whose son died from meningitis urges people to take up vaccine offer
