Rob Cowell says savings should be made across central government
The chair of Ramsey Commissioners says the weekend closure of the minor injuries unit at Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital is a 'turning of the screw' to cutting services in the north.
Rob Cowell says he understands savings need to be made but believes these should be dealt with across central government.
The MIU is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and has been since July this year - with Manx Care saying this has only resulted in an extra six people at Noble's Hospital per weekend
Mr Cowell believes there's 'apathy' in the town about the decision.
