President of Hospice praises Manx public

The President of Hospice Care Isle of Man says the new facility in Braddan, which is welcoming patients for the first time today, owes its existence to the generosity of the Manx people.

Nadine Crowther (pictured) says November 8, 2007 marks the culmination of a massive project which has taken many years, hundreds of people and millions of pounds to achieve.

Mrs Crowther says supporting Hospice Care has been been very close to the hearts of the Manx people (audio file attached):

The new hospice is the subject of this evening's Perspective programme with Jason Roberts, from just after 6pm.
