Recruiting extra staff remains a challenge
Reducing hospital waiting lists to pre-Covid levels 'will be a battle, and will take a substantial amount of time.'
Health Minister David Ashford made the comments at the latest coronavirus media conference.
He says waiting times have suffered throughout the pandemic, and whilst they hope to bring in extra staff, that comes with its own delay:
Faulty device believed to have triggered multi-agency search effort
Payroll firm reprimanded after thousands of personal records discovered in abandoned shredding bins
Finish line in sight for Atlantic rowers
Further delays to Manxman sailings following weather disruption
