Long waits at A&E

Mon, 12 Jun 2023

Manx Care says the Emergency Department at Noble’s Hospital is currently experiencing longer than usual waiting times due to a high volume of patients.

The public are requested not to attend the Emergency Department unless absolutely necessary. Instead, they should use alternative services, where appropriate, such as: visiting the Minor Injuries Unit at Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital (open 8am to 8pm), contacting their GP Practice, or if outside of practice hours, contacting the Manx Emergency Doctors Service by telephoning 650355.

A spokesperson for Manx Care said: "Anyone who requires urgent or emergency treatment at the Emergency Department will receive this and should continue to seek treatment there as needed."

"They will be treated in order of clinical priority."
