MHK seeks update on online waiting lists

Noble's Hospital

An MHK is to ask for an update on waiting lists at Noble's Hospital in next week's sitting of the House of Keys.

Douglas South member Kate Beecroft first asked about waiting lists in October's sitting of Tynwald.

Health Minister David Anderson said at that time that he'd like to see waiting times reduced, but that measures to reduce the length of such lists can be expensive and not show a long term result.

In January, it was announced that the Department of Health was looking to make waiting lists available online once a more accurate way to record the lists was found.

Mrs Beecroft will ask Mr Anderson what progress has been made on accurately recording waiting lists and when they'll be available online.
