The annual number of breast cancer cases on the Isle of Man has exceeded 90 for the first time, yet David Anderson MHK, the Health Minister, is planning to downgrade our dedicated Breast Surgeon to “a consultant general surgeon with a primary special interest in breast care”.
We, the undersigned, demand that the Department of Health:
• provides a permanent full-time specialist breast cancer consultant, not a general surgeon with an interest in breast surgery,
• takes all necessary steps to fully fund that dedicated breast care consultant,
• does not appoint a new general surgeon at the expense of breast care.
Absolutely gutted to read this. Everyone deserves a dedicated specialist. Sort it out.
