Charity had hoped to place order 12-18 months ago
Replacement equipment for a new hyperbaric chamber has been ordered – despite fundraising being hindered by the Coronavirus pandemic.
The Isle of Man Hyperbaric Chamber Charity says it had hoped to order the chamber around 18 months ago but Covid-19 delayed its progress.
It's being manufactured by a German company and will take around nine months to build.
John Houghton, from the charity, says the delays were unavoidable:
