Implementing the Canterbury model of healthcare now would ensure its success in the future according to the Island's health minister.
Howard Quayle has recently returned from New Zealand to assess the model and find out how viable it is for the Isle of Man.
The model aims to stop large numbers of people being treated in hospital for preventable diseases, and improve the treatment of other conditions through care in the community.
Mr Quayle says doing nothing is not an option:

Mauro Poncini fatally injured at Cruickshanks Corner
