Ashford quizzed in HoK over intellectual property claims
The health minister says he will not be issuing a 'point-by-point rebuttal' over accusations of intellectual property theft.
Dr Rachel Glover, the lead scientist behind the Island's Covid-19 testing lab, made the claims against the Department of Health and Social Care last month.
In retaliation David Ashford said a full response would be published - however then revealed to the Public Accounts Committee that it was no longer his plan.
He told Onchan MHK Julie Edge, who tabled a question in this week's House of Keys sitting asking for the statement, that his points have already been made:
Ramsey residents 'shocked' at Looneys closure announcement
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
King Gaming's license suspended amidst criminal investigation
Hopes new unit will reduce amount of time patients spend in hospital
Boxing: Burden hungry for glory on pro debut
Housing, VAT, climate and tourism among concerns raised by the East in government roadshow
