A cancer charity slams plans to remove a dedicated space for Manx patients at Liverpool Airport.
Planned changes to a dedicated space within Liverpool John Lennon Airport for Manx residents receiving UK hospital treatment are "shameful", the charity that funded it has said.
Chairwoman Julie Stokes said the charity has been told the space would be transformed into a private lounge, with four seats available for patients next year. “Changes are currently being made to the terminal to improve the customer experience which includes relocating the existing facility,” he added.Ms Stokes said the charity had invested £15,000 in the space at the airport, which is located in the upper level of the departure lounge in the terminal, next to a prayer room.
Ms Stokes, who is a breast cancer survivor, said she learned of the move via the island's health care provider Manx Care and the airport had since explained that the current area would be converted into a private lounge, with seats offered to patients.
