What is your view on health care provision on the Island?

No answer currently available

General health care provision on the island is good, although there have been some recent mistakes, dentistry comes to mind and locally the arbitrary cancellation of the podiatry clinic in Peel which has resulted in about 370 people, mainly elderly and vulnerable, now having to go to Douglas. The ongoing debate/debacle over the breast cancer specialist has not been edifying. A number of people have commented that we spend an awful lot of money sending people for treatment in the UK which, while necessary where we don't have the clinical expertise on island, for follow ups with no clinic intervention it would be more economical, and certainly better for the patients, for the specialist to come to the Isle of Man rather than the other way round.

The feeling is that there's often a lack of transparency when changes are proposed and a lack of consultation.
