Enterprise to take off in November
Re-branding the Department of Economic Development will give it a chance to -refocus on policy and strategy, rather than on 'day-to-day' management - so says DED Minister Laurence Skelly.
Yesterday (20 Wed) he told a policy review committee the planned transformation into the Department of Enterprise won't take place until November - provided Tynwald approves the change.
The new department will no longer be responsible for the VillaGaeity complex and the Job Centre, and will divide its other functions into 4 agencies, buisness, visit, digital, and finance.
Mr Skelly says this 'agency model' will allow more focus to be given on strategic issues:
Majority of people on IOM not satisfied with travel options
Final round of bus strike action gets underway
Hospice redundancies decision "tough to make but the right thing to do", says CEO
Manx National Heritage sites reopen today
