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:
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Nature of work keeping boat in dry dock goes unexplained
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Committee report accepted by Tynwald in court's final sitting
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
Manx Care aiming for 95% of patients to be seen within a year
Sixth candidate declares for Glenfaba and Peel
Peel Commissioner and former MHK to contest election
