PERSPECTIVE:

  • Perspective 7.6.26 - the health of Manx Care, the Minister gives her diagnosis.

    Manx Care’s mission is to become the best small Island health and social care system in the world. An ambitious aspiration but few people would argue against it I imagine. That said, despite a substantial uplift in funding, Manx Care seems some distance away from its aspiration, and incapable of sticking to the budget set for it. So what’s going wrong and how do we cure Manx Care’s ailments. The Minister gives her diagnosis on Perspective. Can we really have the world’s best health service without draining precious resources from the rest of Isle of Man Government? It’s a big ask.

  • Gary Thompson - The Clerk of the Course's view for TT 2026

    The countdown to TT 2026 continues, and in this Manx Radio SportsCast, we've been speaking with someone who's at the very heart of all the key decisions at the racing fortnight.Isle of Man TT Clerk of the Course, Gary Thompson is entering his 14th year in the role this year.In 2025, he and his team faced multiple challenges throughout the two weeks as weather regularly disrupted the meeting, culminating in Mr Thompson having to cancel the iconic Senior race due to poor conditions, only the second time in the event's history that's happened with the other in 2012 also under his watch.Outside of that, there's also changes this year for organisers to get their heads around, including to the schedule as well as a couple of the race classes.Ahead of what is expected to be another busy year, Manx Radio spoke with Mr Thompson to get his views on the challenges, the changes and the preparations for this year's event

AGENDA: 

  • Agenda 1.6.26 - does criminalising drug use actually work?

    Last month the Positive Action Group held a meeting to discuss our failing policies on dealing with drugs. They invited speakers from the Transform Drug Policy Foundation and Anyone’s Child and I spoke to them for this evening’s Agenda. Our drugs enforcement regime has the same effect as pruning a bush according to our speakers, merely encouraging growth in other areas, so is it time for a radical rethink? Criminalising drug use appears to be doing little to discourage use of recreational drugs so should the Isle of Man consider a more radical approach which could save lives?
