New body in charge of healthcare launches this week
The director of Manx Care has set out his priorities for what's been described as the 'gold standard' of healthcare systems.
The new body will be in charge of running the Island's health and social care services from Thursday.
DHSC services will continue to run as before for patients and the public but further changes are expected in the long-term.
Andrew Foster CBE says the Sir Jonathan Michael Report outlines three main themes:
Island-based Strix factory to close
Ramsey operations to transfer to China plant
'Massive chef shortage' on the Island
Eateries closing on several days due to lack of staff
Manx Care seeks interim medical director
Current postholder currently seconded to CEO post
Braddan Commissioners introduces new 'strategic plan' for the next three years
Chair Andew Jessopp says it sets out authority's 'aims and ambitions'
