The endoscopy unit at Ramsey Cottage Hospital is being relocated
Garff MHK Martyn Perkins says he understands both points of view in the row over Ramsey Cottage Hospital.
The endoscopy unit at the facility is being relocated to Noble's Hospital in Braddan to reduce waiting times.
There are concerns it's the start of Health Minister Kate Beecroft's long term plan to centralise all of its services.
Mr Perkins says there are valid arguments on both sides of the debate:

Advises against increasing capacity 'without root-cause improvements'
