Work starts on hospital accommodation project
Work's begun on a major new building project at Noble's Hospital.
Health minister Howard Quayle has cut the first sod on the site of a £2.2 million accommodation block for health and social care workers.
Contractors are building three town house terraces to replace two houses and the nurses' home in Douglas - valued at £1.8 million, which will now be put on the market.
The development, due for completion in September 2017, will house up to 48 junior doctors, nurses, interview candidates and students.
The facility will be named the Henry Bloom Noble Healthcare Trust Residence. The charity has donated the land on which the current nurses' home stands, to the department, to sell.
Mr Quayle says the new residential block will help attract 'vital' medics and nurses to the Island.
