John Wright Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 9 hours ago, Moghrey Mie said: No he wasn't a medical doctor. He was Tax assessor of the Isle of Man and then put in charge of DHSC. He had a degree in medicine, Sheffield 1988, and a subsequent PhD in Medical Sciences. May not have practised as a GP, but was a medical Dr twice over, before he switched to tax and accountancy, as assessor of income tax, chief financial officer, and latterly CEO of DHSC for 5 years post Charters. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 18 hours ago, code99 said: Hooper wants the Auditor General “to review Manx Care’s finances as part of efforts to find ‘efficiencies’.” Doing an efficiency audit of Manx Care would be an important undertaking. It is a right thing to do, but unless the Auditor General has a large team of experts to call upon, it is unlikely that they will come up with very much, IMHO. Anyway, I hope the Auditor General understands what they are getting themselves into, because if they find something that Hooper does not agree with, they might draw his ‘wrath and ire’. Whatever happened to the outcome of the internal investigation into Hooper and August-Hanson allegedly shouting at members of the Health Services Consultative Committee? https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/dhsc-asks-auditor-general-to-be-another-pair-of-eyes/ Hooper is the most talentless, arrogant individual that has ever held public office, but taking who his predecessor was it is probably a CV requirement for Health minister ! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooperman in his pomposity, has been on the NPM dickwaving the achievements of Manx Care and DHSC since their inception. He should keep his mouth shut. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have already said, he was a medical doctor. But so was Harry Hill.

Hooper knows about these things, he used to be an accountant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
