Welfare Trust surprised at move
A doctor says trust has been 'destroyed' by a decision to relocate endoscopy services in the north of the Island.
Andrew Kelsey was one of a number of people to give evidence to a Tynwald committee on the matter yesterday (Thu).
He says the plan to consolidate services at Noble's Hospital 'surprised' members of the Ramsey Cottage Hospital Welfare Trust - of which he is the chairman - leaving them with no choice but to temporarily suspend funding.
Dr Kelsey blames a 'lack of communication' between the DHSC and the Trust:
Pregnant women still have no access to 'Parentcraft' sessions
Referrals for Infant Feeding Team now via 'mechanism' rather than ward visits
Chief minister welcomes 'constructive' talks with UK security minister
Onchan MHK calls for 'traffic management review' amid 20mph rollout
