And Manx Care having to spend more on relocation costs says CEO

Teresa Cope has told Manx Radio the health body is having to put up more money for relocation costs and confirmed that government owned accommodation for healthcare workers is ‘always fully occupied’.
She says it’s something that particularly affects those at the start of their career:
