Manx Care saw high attendances at ED, MIU and MEDS during TT fortnight
The cost impact the Island's motorsports events have on Manx Care will need to be resolved if health services are to be delivered on budget.
That's from Manx Care Chief Executive Teresa Cope, who described motorsport-related activity as "an unfunded cost pressure" in the organisation's latest board papers.
This year's TT fortnight saw more than 2,000 attendances at the Emergency Department and Minor Injuries Unit, almost 1,500 calls to MEDS and more than 1,400 x-rays.
With almost 55,000 visitors recorded over the racing period, vice-chair Sarah Pinch says it's a huge number of people potentially needing Manx Care's services:
Plans submitted for temporary base for Douglas RNLI
Work underway to remove asbestos from former Golf Links Hotel
Police raise welfare concerns about vehicle occupant
New EV charging points planned for Island's ports
