A rise in the number of cases could be down to Manx Care calculations
New data retrieved from a Freedom of Information request show the number of patients being admitted to hospital for cancer treatment has surged between 2019 and 2021.
Malcom Clague from the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association believes the rise could be down to Manx Care calculating figures in a different way and distortions from the pandemic.
But Health Minister Lawrie Hooper is urging cancer patients not to put off seeking treatment:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Weekend sailings at risk
