Manx Care is looking at bringing the Private Patients Ward at Noble’s Hospital back into use within the next 12 months, its chief executive, Chris Stockport, has said, according to Manx Radio.

The ward closed in January 2019, and refurbishment work on it was finished in early 2020, the broadcaster reported.

According to Manx Radio, the space has since been put to several other uses. It gave the hospital extra capacity during the Covid pandemic, served as a vaccination hub and housed some patients moved from Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital.

Mr Stockport also said work is now under way to return the Martin Ward to Ramsey, Manx Radio reported.

Manx Care is the body that runs health and social care services on the island.
