Residents told not to visit Noble's 'unless absolutely necessary'

Emergency Department 'extremely busy', Manx Care says

Residents are being urged not to attend Noble's Hospital unless it's 'absolutely necessary'.

Manx Care says the hospital is seeing a 'significant volume' of people attending its Emergency Department which, it says, is 'extremely busy'.

As a result, Manx Care says anyone with minor injuries should consider going to Ramsey & District Cottage Hospital instead.

Officials say things such as burns, scalds, suspected breaks, dislocations and certain infections can be treated there.

Anyone needing emergency assistance should still call 999.
