Health minister says improvements will be made based on quarterly figures
Plans are afoot to improve patient waiting times in the Isle of Man - with a model being assembled based purely on Manx figures.
That's the commitment made by the Health and Social Care Minister Kate Beecroft - as figures released last week show targets missed by in and outpatient departments.
The DHSC will publish figures quarterly in an attempt to determine areas most in need of attention - the move is part of its five-year efficency strategy.
That's expected to improve the provision for patients - and Mrs Beecroft says it's already clear how many issues can be cleared up; she gives us an example:
Manx Care reports major drop in dental waiting lists
Police 'disappointed' to find more than half of vehicles with defects in latest winter checks
More coastal overtopping expected today
Poppy Appeal underway ahead of Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day
