The new management structure planned as part of a reform of the island’s health system will create 13 new roles and cost an extra £3.5m.
Health and Social Care Minister David Ashford was quizzed by Liberal Vannin leader Lawrie Hooper on the proposed management structure of Manx Care and DHSC and what it will cost in this week’s Keys.
From April 1, Manx Care will be responsible for the operational delivery of health and social care services for Manx residents and run at arms length from the DHSC.
Mr Ashford said the high-level structures of DHSC and Manx Care are ’under ongoing refinement and review by the relevant organisations as each move towards and then into fulfilling their new functions in order to suitably shape the future structure of the organisation’.
