Integrated programme proposed for south of Island
Tell us what you want from a one-stop health system.
That's the call from the health department as it seeks feedback on plans for a Southern Wellbeing Partnership.
Drop-in session for those living in the south to find out more are taking place over the next three weeks. They are being held at:
- Abbey Church Hall in Ballasalla, Thursday 10 September from 2.30pm to 7pm
- Thie Rosien in Port Erin, Thursday 17 September from 2.30pm to 7pm
- The Engine House in Castletown, Thursday 24 September from 2.30pm to 7pm
A similar scheme was introduced in the west of the Island earlier this year, combining health, social care and wellbeing.
After initial disruption due to coronavirus, Adrian Tomkinson from the integrated care team says it's been successful in the west:
Residents still want to see what wind farm will look like
Construction costs on the Island 18% above UK average and comparable with Outer London
Manx residents 'will probably need to pay more' if they want universal health service
Apartment building planned for Douglas City Centre
