Health care is good on the Island, but there are increased waiting times for some of our services - dentistry waiting lists in particular are unacceptably long and need to be shortened.

National Health dental treatment should be available to all, poor oral health can create greater problems in the future. We should concentrate on recruiting and consulting the health staff involved directly with the patients and wards, not managers.We should be wary of treating those suffering from alcohol and drug dependency, to the detriment of other patients.

Basic health care is good but the increase in waiting list times to see a Consultant and receive treatment in several specialities is unacceptable.

The health of the nation depends on the early detection of diseases and for that we need the best medical equipment which is expensive. It is therefore necessary to identify and reduce wastage, streamline and introduce efficiences within the NHS to be able to implement the service the people of Ramsey and the island need and deserve.
