Former minister spells out problems
A packed meeting in Douglas last night heard a former minister warn the Island faces catastrophe unless government undergoes major reform.
East Douglas MHK and former policy and reform minister Chris Robertshaw addressed a gathering of the Positive Action Group.
His talk “Towards smaller, smarter government”, laid out the problems he says the Manx government faces.
Roger Tomlinson of PAG says in particular, four issues were highlighted:
Chamber: Positive Moneyval assessment vital for Island's future
Island's finance sector to be reviewed next year
Prostate cancer pathway available despite lack of screening
Health minister says there's a lack of evidence routine prostate screening improves outcomes
More than 200 residential planning applications granted permission but work yet to commence
Cabinet Office Minister says applications remain within four-year limit for commencement
Aviation safety audit will be 'completely independent'
Review expected to be completed by June next year
