Hooper admits a more secure supply is needed
Government is working to establish a more secure supply of lateral flow tests for the Isle of Man.
That's according to the health minister who says a new procurement framework is being looked at.
Last week Lawrie Hooper revealed almost £6 million had been spent on the home testing kits since the start of the pandemic.
It's a cost he says can't be sustained 'forever' and he's keen to look at sourcing the tests from a wider range of suppliers:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Work to tackle problems taking longer than anticipated
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Ballaugh, Bride, Garff and Jurby Commissioners all seeking additional members
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Chief Exec insists the situation is 'improving'
Weekend sailings at risk
SPC warns poor weather could lead to disruption or cancellations
