Hooper quizzed on efforts to prevent loneliness
Tackling loneliness and isolation on the Isle of Man needs 'robust' third sector support to be effective.
That's the belief of the health and social care minister who was asked this week how the issue is being addressed in the south of the Island.
Lawrie Hooper says charities, and community initiatives, provide vital services but are always at risk if they're unable to fundraise.
He believes new local area co-ordinators for the southern region could help:
Government issues clarification on proposed changes to public housing policy
DHSC 'considering policy options' as Hyperbaric Chamber calls for more funding
'Really special', says charity as historic furniture returns to Island
Government 'supporting' Strix after announcement of Ramsey factory closure
