Ward 7 opens its doors this week
A new dedicated space for elective surgeries has been created at Noble's Hospital.
Ward 7 has opened its doors thanks to the help of the Manx Breast Cancer Support Group.
It's hoped the new space will put patients at ease that a bed will be available if they are anticipating a stay in hospital.
Siobhan Fletcher went down to see the new Unit, and to speak with Ward Manager Lauren Whittaker and Senior Matron David Neilan:
