But maybe it isn't. Who knows? So 1500 patients apparently just said “Fuck it I don't want that important operation after all. Cancel it please” ?

TheTeapot Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It says the figures came from a written question in Tynwald, so someone with the gift to navigate the gov website can probably find out more details than that skimpy 3fm piece. I don't care enough to look into it. Just seems a high number, but as Dr Grumpy says without context it might not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went home, got pissed and died happy. Win win. Manx DHSC saved dollar for Govt pensions. Which is the priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
