New chamber on order for Peel Road site
The lack of a working hyperbaric chamber on the Isle of Man is having an impact on local patients' health and the health budget.
That's from a member of the charity raising funds to replace the facility at the Peel Road site.
The Isle of Man Hyperbaric Chamber Charity has placed an order for a new chamber, which is due to be delivered in nine months.
John Houghton says patients are facing longer healing times without access to hyperbaric treatment:
