Reports of long queues for people to pick up medication
A former health minister believes there needs to be more competition in the north of the Island to "shake up" the pharmacy system.
Eddie Teare was commenting after reports that people in Ramsey are having to wait in long queues at pharmacies to get prescriptions.
He says he waited just over an hour in a long line that extended outside the building.
Mr Teare told Manx Radio he first raised the issue during his term as minister:
