Chief Medical Officer row could be resolved

The row over the provision of medical chiefs at next year's TT has prompted the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure to step in to try and help resolve the matter.

Dr Stevens said he was then offered the position of CMO, because he would be available for free as he is Isle of Man-based.
