Questions Raised Over Pest Control at Hospital Sites

Concerns over pest control arrangements at key health sites across the island have been raised in a written question.

Onchan MHK Julie Edge has asked the Infrastructure Minister, Dr Michelle Haywood, to provide details of pest control inspections carried out at Ramsey Cottage Hospital and the Nobles Hospital estate over the past five years.

Her question seeks a breakdown of how many inspections took place each year, who was responsible for carrying them out, and what remedial actions were taken where issues were identified.

Ms Edge has also asked whether the minister will publish any certificates of inspection, a move that would allow greater public scrutiny of standards at the facilities.

Dr Haywood is expected to respond by January 7.
