**Manx Care** was established in April 2021 by the [Government of the Isle of Man](/source/Government_of_the_Isle_of_Man) as an arm's length organisation, established to focus on delivery of health and social care on the Island. This followed a review by Sir [Jonathan Michael](/source/Jonathan_Michael). The [Department of Health and Social Care](/source/Department_of_Health_and_Social_Care_(Isle_of_Man)) continues to be responsible for strategy, planning, policy and regulation. Its offices are at [Noble's Hospital](/source/Noble's_Hospital). Sir [Andrew Foster](/source/Andrew_Foster_(British_public_servant)) is the chair of the organisation.[1]

It has established a partnership with the [Great North Air Ambulance](/source/Great_North_Air_Ambulance) to transfer acutely ill patients. In November 2021, Foster reported a lack of progress with community-based care and the identification of services that would be better delivered off the island and problems with sharing data across different parts of the organisation.[2]

An 18-week [referral to treatment target](/source/NHS_targets), similar to that in the English NHS, was seen as a considerable challenge according to [Lawrie Hooper](/source/Lawrie_Hooper) in February 2022. It is intended to have a three-year mandate with a three-year operational plan, and a three-year budget from the Treasury. The budget in 2022 was £250 million.[3]
