Uncertainty remains over the future of healthcare on the Island after a former health minister leaked an embargoed media release outlining plans to cut a number of services.

The release was sent to the Island's media on 15 January with an embargo for the following day, but was recalled before the embargo lifted, with Manx Care stating the "implementation of the mitigations is being considered once again".

The following week, Health Minister Claire Christian told Tynwald there were no cuts planned, but patients have since reported having appointments cancelled.

Sian Cowper and Ben Hartley looked into the issue further on this morning's Manx Radio Breakfast.
