Minister says it's a shame backbenchers blocked mandate debate
The health minister says the lack of debate on Manx Care's Mandate and Operating Plan won't prevent it coming into effect on 1 April.
Claire Christian had been due to hold a general debate in Tynwald this week, but eight backbenchers voted against allowing the motion to go ahead.
It means members won't now get the opportunity to debate the documents until after they come into force.
Minister Christian was disappointed not to hear from her colleagues:
'Power of veto' might help get difficult decisions through, says chief minister
Gas prices to remain unchanged for 2026
Ramsey Commissioners not adding 'optional' one percent increase to social housing rents
New gynaecology clinic room will 'significantly increase capacity'
