Manx Care attempting to stop DNA's
Manx Care is going to pilot 'partial booking' in Noble's Hospital's orthopaedic department.
It's in an attempt to tackle high numbers of people not attending their appointments.
The system - which gives people an estimated date - was introduced in the UK by the Department of Health in 1999.
Director of Operations Oliver Radford explained some of the reasons for missed appointments at yesterday's board meeting:
Mountain Road to stay closed overnight
Some areas still 'extremely slippery' following snowfall
Horse Tramway business case 'under final review'
Case 'decoupled' from Tramway Terrace Project
BMA finds less than a quarter of doctors recommend working at Manx Care
The union says its latest staff survey is a "damning indictment" of healthcare provider
Thirteen people entered or tried to enter the Island without immigration permission since January 2025
