Only three have been hired since shortage first reported
Noble's Hospital is still operating with fewer anaesthetists than it should have.
There should be 17 on the Island, but currently there are only 11 in post.
Only three have been hired since Manx Radio first reported a shortage last October.
The department has seen an increase in waiting times for a first appointment since, and CEO of Manx Care Teresa Cope has been telling Amy Griffiths if low staffing is part of the problem:
Border security: 'Even today, we don't know who's here'
Border Agency 'absolutely required' says Island's chief constable
DoI 'working closely' with Steam Packet to assess impact of Manxman withdrawal
Department says it wants to know about contingency arrangements during MGP
Tynwald mandated gas tariffs suspended by court
