You told us… that you wanted better access to healthcare information and advice, so we have worked with community groups to introduce a community directory; Isle Find it, which is already being used by over 13,000 people. Also, a new health information website; Isle Help. Plus, we’ve invested in our 111 telephone advice service and encouraged you to call this number first for help choosing the right kind of service to meet your needs.
