More than 500 appointments missed last month
There are questions for the Island's health service on how to improve appointment attendance rates after more than 500 people didn't attend Noble's Hospital last month when they should have.
Non-attendance rates stood at 9.7 per cent for January.
The health minister says it's partly the responsibility of patients to notify the hospital if they can't attend.
Speaking to Manx Radio, Lawrie Hooper says it has an impact on waiting lists:
