But Magson says some progress has been made
GP recruitment on the Isle of Man is something that's continually 'taxed' the Department of Health and Social Care.
That's according to the interim chief executive who says despite this some progress has been made in the past few months.
Kathryn Magson gave evidence to a Social Affairs Policy Review Committee yesterday.
She says a number of initiatives have proved helpful in attracting new doctors to the Island:
Dementia demand assessment underway as Public Health forecasting future need
Patient calls for more transparency over ENT waiting times and services
Hopes to replace Castletown Golf Links site with "5-star hotel"
