But DHSC minister confirms recruitment freeze has been lifted
The Isle of Man has a shortage of foster carers but work is underway to recruit more.
The health and social care minister has confirmed that a recruitment freeze – which has been in place for four years – has now been lifted.
There are currently 29 mainstream foster carers who look after children who are unable to live with their birth parents and families; in 2018 there were 36.
Lawrie Hooper says there are numerous reasons for the drop:
Ministers to meet with LVA to discuss hospitality concerns
Looneys of Ramsey to close
No one hurt in Coranny car blaze
Sewerage, population, GP appointments and housing among the west's top issues for CoMin
Jamie Devine enjoying 'the graft' of pro boxing journey
Health Minister says work is 'underway' on access road to The Roundhouse
