Ten new recruits sought this year
Three quarters of a million pounds is to be spent hiring new therapists for the Island's mental health service.
Ten additional recruits are being sought this year, with more to follow in 2022, while eight therapists are being trained locally.
However, Manx Care's group manager of the integrated mental health service believes filling the posts will be challenging.
Ross Bailey says there's lots of competition:
