Manx Care needs to analyse why there's been a 2.2 percent increase in demand for surgery over the last year.
Between June 2023 and May this year there were more than 22,000 referrals for surgical specialties.

Treasury minister 'does not relish' taking £20m from reserves
Negotiations ongoing between DEFA and Kelproperties over Newson's development
54 cruise ships booked to visit Island in 2025
