Health minister quizzed over staffing numbers
The health minister says red tape is having an impact on the Island’s Covid-19 testing programme - despite an increase in staff.
In Tynwald today it was revealed that eight staff, working from 9-5, produced around 10 tests per hour.
However a 13-strong team, working 14 hour days, produced 4.6.
David Ashford said it's due to processes which need to be followed:
Offshore windfarm protestors 'sending message' to incoming administration
Demonstrators gather outside Tynwald during final sitting
Overnight sailings cancelled due to 'technical issue'
Vessel was also out of action over the weekend
