Manx Care is looking for planning permission to have a mobile building at the Ramsey Cottage Hospital.
The organisation says that due to renovation works, local renal dialysis provision has been ‘significantly impacted’ – creating a ‘substantial gap’ in services for patients requiring ‘regular and life-sustaining’ treatment.
In the application, Manx Care says that proposed unit will be ‘temporary’ but will be fully equipped to support the ‘continuation and reinstatement’ of essential renal services.
It adds a recent independent condition survey confirmed that further investment is required to bring the facility to an ‘appropriate and compliant’ operational standard.
The unit will be located within the hospital grounds.
The application is currently pending consideration and can be found here.
