The DHSS's Director of Health Strategy and Performance believes the services here are superior to those an equivalent population would have in England.
Norman McGregor-Edwards (pictured) says a facility like the new Noble's Hospital would only be found in a place with upwards of 250,000 people.
Therefore a lot more services are provided, especially locally.
But he says there's still more work to be done:
Douglas Council could undergo independent review of its organisation
Christmas lunches at UCM's training restaurant
Childrenās charity commemorates babies and infants with ribbon display
Government to sit down with MNFU after leadership criticism
