Emergency question filed ahead of Keys sitting
The Health Minister is to be asked for an explanation over the scrapping of funding for Meals on Wheels for 300 older residents.
Onchan MHK Rob Callister has tabled an emergency question for the House of Keys sitting this Tuesday, after it was announced that the DHSC will no longer pay Age Concern to supply the home deliveries.
There has been no indication whether government will continue to facilitate the service through another means.
Age Concern fears it puts users at risk of isolation and malnourishment.
Mr Callister says he was 'surprised' to hear the news:
Local mobile catering company Filbey's to call it a day
Ramsey Rocks event cancelled
MWT plans to plant almost 10,000 trees
Duck off: Chinese takeaway on the hunt for bigger ducks
