Quayle insists change needed at top
The chief minister says a review of the Island's health service, particularly spending within it, is urgently needed.
There's set to be a debate, and a call for a review, at the January sitting of Tynwald next week (16 January).
At the same sitting, there will be a request for an additional £9.5 million to cover the overspend in health - that's despite the department already having had its budget boosted by £11 million at the start of the current financial year.
Chief Minister Howard Quayle says he knows 'all too well' the financial pressures the DHSC is under year after year:
More than 3,000 jobs added to economy since September 2021
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
