Health survey opened up to all

Tue, 24 Oct 2017

All Manx residents will be able to respond to the Government's annual Health and Lifestyle Survey from today.

The Department of Health and Social Care initially invited 7,000 households to respond to ensure its information was representative of the Island's population.

However, it's now opening up the survey to everyone so additional data can be gathered.

The questions seek details about general health, physical activity and lifestyle choices, including a focus on gambling attitudes and habits.

The survey will be available on the Government's website, while paper copies can be found at libraries, Peel Town Hall and the Welcome Centre at the Sea Terminal.

Responses must be submitted by Sunday.
