Minister urging for responses on Manx Care plans

The Island's Health Minister is hoping for plenty of responses on proposals for a new health organisation.

Plans have been put forward to create a new body called Manx Care which would work at arms length from the DHSC to help deliver healthcare services for the Island and now the government wants residents' views on how it would work.

David Ashford MHK says everyone has an interest in health services, adding - as it would be a new concept for the Isle of Man - input from the public on its design is 'essential'.

The public consultation on the matter runs until Friday, April 17 - anyone wanting to see the plans and have their say can do so by visiting the online government consultation hub.
