I think there’s only so much they can do with the building itself too. Maybe as part of fixing this problem new premises can be identified. Ballasalla population is growing at a fast rate, it needs appropriate healthcare cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Thomas is responsible for Housing and Communities. The second part seems to be ignored. Looking at health and education services should be integrated into planning new developments surely.

If only there was a large building company working in Ballasalla who could have been asked to build a new centre as part of any planning consent. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built the half assed bypass, championed by Cregeen who himself had an IQ bypass, to solve a non existent problem ! For bypass read ' road which affords access to further green fields' 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Doc is quitting due to frustration with dealing with Manx Care cabal. 2 Docs leaving. A shit load more patients with little to no Govt support to mitigate. Pop goes your surgery.

Aren’t they building some community centre & other commercial buildings as part of next phase? A shiny new building won’t help if no doctors, will it ? Shortage of GPS is a an issue everywhere so what’s the solution other than just doubling salaries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did assume Dr C was on the verge of quitting, hasn't seemed particularly happy for a while. A shame. Was one of the best practices on the Island imo, and the quality of doctor was superb.

Doc C is excellent and a good guy too. He was also heading up some sort of all island GP delegation in dealings with Manx Care; which I think has been the proverbial straw of frustration. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
