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:
Palatine GP changes booking system
Patients will have to fill out online questionnaire before being triaged
MGP Supporters Club to make decision on charity next month
Vote to take place in February
Isle of Man residents to take medical supplies to Cuba
It's the seventh charity trek organised by Junior Achievement
