Dear Member,
Across the Isle of Man, people are struggling to access basic healthcare.
GP appointments are harder to get.
Dental care is increasingly difficult to access.
Waiting times continue to put pressure on patients and families.
Hospice Isle of Man has reported operating at a deficit for six years, citing rising costs, an ageing population, and comparatively low levels of government funding.
At the same time, approximately £12–15 million has been allocated to overseas aid.
The illustration below shows the scale of that spending and what similar funding could represent in local healthcare terms over one year.
When essential care is under pressure, priorities matter.
