NHS England pay rise won't threaten recruitment
The Isle of Man can remain competitive in recruiting NHS staff, despite pay increases for workers in the United Kingdom - that's according to the Health and Social Care Minister.
It was announced last week that a three-year pay deal worth at least 6.5% has been agreed for more than one million NHS workers in England.
Pay negotiations for staff here in the Island are ongoing.
David Ashford says attracting staff to the Manx NHS is about more than just money:
