Hooper says global challenges still being felt
The health minister's been defending the significant raise his department is set to get as part of this year's Budget.
The Department of Health and Social Care is due to have its funding increased by £41.2 million in the next financial year.
Almost half of that will be paid for by an increase to the higher rate of Income Tax.
But Lawrie Hooper says his department still faces a number of challenges:
Rearranged FC Isle of Man vs Prestwich Heys tie cancelled
Visiting team fails to attend for morning kick-off
Island at 'forefront' of British Isles blue carbon research
Manx waters researched over four year programme
Five comments and objections received over Ramsey flood defence scheme plans
But DOI says a number of informal objections received before plans withdrawn
Water main upgrades planned in Foxdale from next week
Works aim to improve reliability and reduce risk of bursts, with some temporary road disruptions expected
