Clare Barber tells Tynwald it's vital an alternative provision is secured
The environment, food and agriculture minister has welcomed a decision by Milan Vets to extend the deadline before it stops providing farm services.
Last week, the practice - which is understood to support around 90 percent of the Island's livestock - wrote to farmers saying it would end its farm work at the end of the month.
Milan has since reversed the decision, confirming services will continue beyond this month, with a further update expected "early in the new year".
Minister Clare Barber says it is vital that alternative provision is secured quickly:
"Substantial progress" made on design of new Castle Rushen High School, says minister
Brief lapse in concentration can cause a serious or fatal collision, say police
No impact assessment carried out ahead of minimum wage decision
Douglas Coastguard aid overnight medical transfer
Treasury 'still negotiating' backup options for MiCard users with no bank account
