Health service review begins

A review of the Island’s health services begins today (Tuesday), with a team inspecting three aspects of the work of Noble’s Hospital.

The West Midlands Quality Review Service is carrying out a lightning one-day inspection of some areas at the hospital.

In particular, the team will probe emergency services, operating theatres and anaesthetics, and critical care.

Jane Eminson, the body’s acting head, says the one-day visit should be plenty of time to carry out all the necessary checks.
