Endoscopy unit relocates to Noble's
Endoscopy equipment destined for Noble's Hospital was bought by the public to support Ramsey Cottage Hospital, and should remain there.
That's the view of the chairman of the Friends of Ramsey Cottage Hospital, Leonard Singer.
Health Minister Kate Beecroft insisted the relocation of the endoscopy unit was aimed at improving patient safety by consolidating the service, thus reducing waiting times.
Mr Singer says this reasoning doesn't hold up under scrutiny, and believes the department's real intention long term is to centralise all of it's services.
He told Manx Radio the equipment was funded by the public for specifically for the Cottage Hospital:
