Former health minister fires parting shot
The former Health Minister has offered her successor best wishes in his new role – and aimed a parting shot at individuals she believes played a part in her downfall.
Kate Beecroft resigned a fortnight ago after being told she had lost the support of some of her departmental members.
Yesterday (Tuesday) at her first Tynwald sitting since standing down she offered David Ashford her congratulations, before making it clear who she felt were unsupportive during her time as Minister.
