Minister outlines issues going forward
We need to expand treatment for Macular Degeneration on the Island - but it's proving difficult, says the health minister.
Currently, £500,000 a year is paid for 60 individuals and their accompanying carers to go to Aintree for treatment.
The Department of Health and Social care has extended its deal with Aintree to secure the service, for those with a disease that leaves them with blurred or no vision.
Minister David Ashford says the difficulty of securing on-Island provision comes from potential partner hospitals needing to meet certain quotas:
Planning application for onshore wind farm still being developed
Motorcyclist suffered fatal chest injuries in crash
Trial for trio accused of producing Class A drugs to Island
Too early for 'direct action' over cost-of-living concerns says chief minister
