Secretary and Coordinator for the Hogg Motorsport Association RE: Statement issued by the Medical Director & Chief Medical Officer for TT 2010 - Malcolm - 16-12-2010 The Department of Economic Development has stepped in to try and resolve the row over the provision of medical chiefs at next year's TT. A statement from the department says it's looking to set up a meeting between ACU Events Ltd and Motorsport Medical Services. TT medical director Dr David Stevens has told Manx Radio the matter stems from an email sent by ACU chairman Jim Parker to chief medical officer Dr Heike Romer in October, effectively saying they couldn't afford to employ her next year. Dr Stevens said he was then offered the position of CMO, because he would be available for free as he is Isle of Man-based. He turned it down (first part of audio file): Dr Stevens wonders what will happen now (second part of audio file): Listen to the audio file via this link.

I ask you - which is more important - lunches and dinners, or the continuation of the superb service provided by Motorsport Medical Services?

These are priorities without exception. The budget must allocate cash to these areas. |
