The Doctor had recommended that Tim be sent to a clinic in London, reports assessments were done by the Clinic but it seems the DHSS here wont act. To save the nerves in Tims arm an operation was needed within weeks otherwise the nerves would die resulting in the loss of feeling in his arms. I believe that the Islands DHSS would not act quickly enough on this so the family had to have the op done private at a cost of over £10000-00.

Now the IOM government actively promote the races and pay for reps to approach riders to come here and do their best, but when it all goes wrong they are slow in doing whats needed to get an injured rider back to his best.

A small Levi on the travel to the races, say £5-00 per trip would raise something like £250000-00 per year which would go a long way to provide the best or specialist treatments for the riders.
Also lets not forget the Racing on the IOM is free, it also generates a lot of new money for the Islands economy, so the Government here has to do something now.
Personally I think we all know that we can spend a £5-00 on a smelly old Burger and think nothing of it so lets get something done now.
