Paul Moore's comments follow the publication of data from last year which showed nursing levels in the emergency department often fell below safe standards.
He says a lack of staff can cause logistical problems - for the hospital and patients alike.
But, he says Manx Care has 'counter measures' in place to deal with these staffing challenges:
