Major legislation passes first reading
A Bill to reshape the Island's health service will undergo its second reading in the House of Keys next week (22nd Mar).
The Health and Care Service Bill 2016 would see the Island's NHS incorporate social care at its core - effectively rebranding it as the 'NHSC'.
It would also amalgamate provisions, establish a 'Health Charter' and enable the Department of Health and Social Care to implement changes more quickly.
Minister Howard Quayle explained how this will work:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
