999 shouldn't ever be the only option for accessing support
Calling 999 shouldn’t ever be the only option for people trying to access medical care and support on the Isle of Man.

Chief Executive Teresa Cope says it would ‘bridge the gap’ between hospital and primary care.
She told Manx Radio it’s a tried-and-tested model but it may take some getting used to:
