ME debate due as Tynwald enters second day

Court to hear from witness

A debate on ME services is expected in Tynwald as this month's sitting enters a second day.

Members finished last night discussing a plan to retain and repurpose red call boxes where possible on the Island - a motion that passed.

Today the court is to hear from witness Dr Helen Greig on ME, otherwise known as Chronic Fatique Syndrome.

It's after sufferers of ME and Long Covid gathered outside Tynwald yesterday lunchtime, calling for better recognition and treatment of the conditions.

The order paper will pick up again on item number 21 on the publication of meeting minutes.

The court is to resume at 10:30am, live on Manx Radio AM1368, online and on our smartphone app.
