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:
Chamber of Commerce remains neutral on wind farm
The energy firm sponsored lobby group's 70th anniversary gala dinner
Bus services put 'at risk'
A reason for the potential disruption hasn't been given
Could treating more patients in UK be better value for money?
Former treasury and health minister keen to see more done to tackle healthcare spending
Motorbike rider taken to UK hospital after Mountain Road crash
Police still trying establish the 'exact nature and circumstances of what happened'
