Isle of Man Expands Health and Social Care Inspection with New Regulations

The Isle of Man is set to strengthen its monitoring and inspection of health and social care services with the progression of new regulations. The Regulation of Health and Social Care Bill aims to replace outdated 2013 legislation, which limited the health department's regulatory functions. This move is expected to enhance the overall quality of care and improve patient safety, aligning with the island's commitment to providing high-quality health and social care services. With the new bill, the island's health department will have more comprehensive powers to inspect and regulate health and social care activities, ensuring that residents receive the best possible care. Key aspects of the bill include expanded monitoring and inspectionpowers, improved patient safety, and enhanced regulatory functions.
