MHK asks whether advice from panel is being followed
The Council of Ministers' response to calls for a mitigation plan for new variants of Covid-19 is 'vague and unhelpful'.
That's the view of a Ramsey MHK who raised the latest guidance from the Emergency Advisory Group at yesterday's sitting of Tynwald.
It had asked for CoMin to put a robust plan in place, should new variants emerge.
Lawrie Hooper asked whether the EAG's feedback is being listened to:
Health Minister David Ashford explained how the Island monitors variants:

No timeline yet for reinstatement of rehab service to north
Manx Care TT ready despite 'exceptional' pressures faced last week
Manx Telecom merger not scrutinised by Manx Government
'Isle of Man could drive drug reform innovation'
Noble's Emergency Department 'well under the size that it should be'
