The social care minister says cuts to the White Hoe secure unit for young people are needed because the facility is underused.
Yesterday, the department revealed it would need just two bedrooms year-round rather than the four currently available – halving the cost of the facility.
Chris Robertshaw MHK says changes will be made to the contract his department currently has with St Christophers, the charity which operates White Hoe.
He says high running costs had been an issue within the department for some time:
Island warned to expect heavy rain this afternoon
Jurby landowner working with planning and Bus Vannin on future shelter provision
'We wouldn’t have it any other way’
Ramsey Tesco to 'open as normal' following incident
