Noble's asking people not to attend 'unless absolutely necessary'
Unite Union spokesperson, Debbie Halsall, has warned that hospital staff are very tired and that "winter is coming".
Manx Care is asking people not to attend Noble's Hospital unless it's 'absolutely necessary'.
This, the organisation says, is because of high levels of demand on its emergency department right now.
There are claims that Nobles hospital staff are overstretched as the advice is given for people with minor emergencies to go to other medical centres if they can.
Ms Halsall says Government need to remember how NHS staff were applauded a year ago:
Treasury: 'Challenging to justify support for heating oil customers'
Increase of more than 500 patients for mental health services over last 12 months
Manx Care looking at returning Private Patients Ward to Noble's next year
