Cretney calls for urgent action on committee findings
A former politician is calling on government to quickly action the recommendations of a Tynwald report on suicide.
David Cretney chaired the committee which investigated the matter and says the news of 22 inquest suicide verdicts being recorded last year is concerning.
He also feels there could be further issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and therefore a working strategy is urgently needed:
Ard-Shirveishagh hopes he's given members enough time to consider 'Charter for Change'
Document only published a week before Tynwald
Live video streaming 'significant step' in making parliament more accessible
Public can now watch proceedings online
Treasury: 'Challenging to justify support for heating oil customers'
MHK says Island is 'dangerously close to a Dickens' novel'
Increase of more than 500 patients for mental health services over last 12 months
Waiting list has also climbed from 1,160 to 1,433
