Petition Against CEO

The petition says that “Under Teresa Cope’s management, Manx Care has seen a drastic decline”.

It says that “Since its inception and the installation of Teresa Cope as CEO, the Isle of Man health services have plummeted, marring our standard of care beyond recognition”.  

The petition claims that “Lives have been unjustly lost due to stagnating waiting lists, and basic treatments have been delayed for years”.

It also states that “Reports have suggested negligence on a mass scale, an appalling testament to Teresa Cope’s mismanagement of our hospital”.

Kevin says that the circumstances are “dire” and that the “impact of this crisis on our beloved residents and the ensuing suffering demands immediate action”.
