An organisation tasked with delivering future health and care services to the Island’s population, is preparing to ‘go live’ this week.
Thursday will mark the start of a new era in public services, involving the restructuring of the largest department in Government, an historic separation of Department of Health and Social Care functions and the creation of a bespoke operational body.
Manx Care is an entirely new statutory body, designed to operate at arms’ length from the Department of Health and Social Care and focused on the delivery of services to the public.
The organisation will be led by a newly-appointed executive leadership team and becomes the employer of around 2,500 health and care staff.
Manx Care has been running in shadow form alongside DHSC since the start of the year, in preparation for taking over the reins.
For patients, service users and the public, services will continue to be provided as before at health and care settings across the Island. Longer-term work to design a range of integrated local services which meet an individual’s needs close to home, is being developed by the Health and Care Transformation Programme, Manx Care, DHSC and other parties.
