Quayle agrees too many resources are wasted
Health Minister Howard Quayle says his department is looking at ways to cut its drugs bill.
In Tynwald this morning (Tues), he faced questions from North Douglas MHK John Houghton about wasted equipment and medication.
Mr Houghton said vast sums are being wasted in repeat prescriptions for elderly patients and unrecovered items such as wheelchairs.
Mr Quayle said he agreed, and his department was looking into the issue:
NSC pool out of action until the New Year
Cracked pipe needs to be fixed and 'water safely recirculated and tested'
Main route through Foxdale closed due to RTC
Emergency services are on the scene
Michelle Mone-linked PPE firm liquidated and unlikely to repay £148m
Judge Sebastian Prentis placed the company into liquidation
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
Water and debris likely to impact coastal routes around high tide
