Described as a waste of resource
Working out how much the Covid-19 testing regime has cost would be a waste of resource.
That’s the opinion of the health and social care minister.
So far more than 29,000 tests have been carried out on the Island – each one comes in at roughly £100.
However David Ashford says there are other hidden costs which would have to be taken into account:
Renal patients 'near breaking point' over lack of dialysis facilities in the north
Patients tell Manx Radio the situation has become 'intolerable'
Public Health to expand 'stop nicotine' services and accept referrals from children
