CoMin reports back on 'external advisory group'
An MHK is calling on government to avoid falling into a 'bunker mentality' and take outside advice.
It's after the Council of Ministers said it didn't need to set up an external group to help guide its Covid response.
In a report to Tynwald, CoMin claims a group, made up of clinicians and civil servants from public health, has evolved to fill this role.
It had been asked for by Douglas Central member Chris Thomas who's disappointed with the response.
He says government must be willing to hear alternative views:
No increase in domestic gas prices for rest of 2026
Law targeting sale of nicotine pouches takes step further
Procurement process for Kirk Onchan Post Office continuing
Bus station will not be moved to the Sea Terminal
Forum explores what domestic abuse looks like on the Isle of Man
