Pressures on Noble's Hospital ease

OPEL level downgraded after people told to keep away

Pressure levels on Noble's Hospital are said to have eased today - just days after people with minor ailments were told to avoid the emergency department.

The hospital has spent the last three days operating at OPEL Level 3. 

According to NHS England that means a local health and social care system is experiencing major pressures compromising patient flow (and continues to increase).

Manx Radio has asked Manx Care to provide a spokesperson for interview.

According to Manx Care a second video will be released this evening (12 November).
