Onchan MHK Rob Callister says he didn't get a 'fair opportunity' to implement any changes during his time as health minister.

It's been announced this morning that he's been sacked from the role with ex-health minister Lawrie Hooper taking over the role alongside his job as Minister for Enterprise.

Mr Callister says the decision has 'broken' him, adding 'Manx politics can be extremely difficult and unfair at times'.

He goes on to apologise to his constituents for any embarrassment the announcement may have caused.
