In response to these reports; Manx Care has produced a high-level Quality Strategy outlining the areas for scheduled development to deliver the recommendations as reported by CQC and provide assurance to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).
Minister for the Department of Health and Social Care, Lawrie Hooper MHK, said:
‘It is very clear that our health and care staff on the island want to provide compassionate, safe care. This is a recurring theme throughout the reports with an emphasis on the level of kindness, respect and passion provided to patients, and by planning for the future workforce this will help to address any concerns behind access to and experience of care.’
He added:
‘By addressing and focusing on the areas for improvement, Manx Care undoubtedly demonstrates its commitment and assurance to the Department of Health and Social Care to improve services for the future of patient care.’
Discussions are ongoing with CQC for high-level support with the future regulation of health and social care here in the Isle of Man.
