DoI commits to reviewing system
The Department of Infrastructure is facing criticism from MHKs who say concerns raised about public sector housing thresholds have been 'ignored'.
Minister Tim Crookall has acknowledged the financial difference between single and joint applicants is insufficient and has committed to putting thresholds into review.
Onchan MHK Rob Callister has previously said eligibility requirements are being set too low and is punishing those who want to work.
In today's sitting of Tynwald Mr Callister said those concerns haven't been taken into account:
Douglas North MHK David Ashford says the report fails to make firm commitments:
Carers: 'They are often the quiet heroes of our Island'
Hooper: 'Time to bite the bullet and build new hospital'
'No final decisions' made yet about relocating dementia patients says Manx Care
'We want to provide a facility for almost anybody'
