Restoration and recovery project update

Fri, 28 Apr 2023


An update on phase two of Manx Care’s ‘Restoration and Recovery’ (R&R) programme to reduce waiting times for some hospital procedures, will be laid before May Tynwald by the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC).  

It outlines the amount spent, number of surgeries delivered and current waiting times as part of the programme.

Manx Care’s R&R programme aims to reduce waiting lists for some procedures by partnering with a UK provider to work alongside the clinical teams based at Noble’s Hospital to supplement the existing capacity of surgeries that can be delivered.

Phase two focused on reducing waiting lists for orthopaedic, ophthalmology and general surgery. Manx Care received £18.3m to support this activity, and has partnered with UK firm Synaptik to provide both treatments and consultations.

Between August 2022 and March 2023 over 1,400 surgeries were delivered, with a further 450 surgeries expected to be delivered in April.
