Manx Care blames 15% reduction in staffing
Eleven hundred hospital appointments had to be converted into telephone consultations as a result of high levels of staff sickness.
Manx Care says 400 of those were new outpatient consultations and 700 were follow-up.
Face to face appointments resumed on Monday following two weeks of disruption caused by a 15 per cent reduction in staffing.
Chief executive Teresa Cope has apologised for the inconvenience but says it has shown opportunities for change:
Jail for teacher who created indecent images of students using AI technology
19-month custodial sentence for former Ballakermeen staff member
Report published into fatal accident on Berge Mawson
Occurred at Bunyu Island Anchorage, Indonesia in June 2022
No plans to implement permanent capacity solutions at any Island schools
Almost half have at least one mobile classroom
New employment rights to be introduced from April
Changes to antenatal and adoption appointments forthcoming
