Govt will work with third sector - Quayle
The chief minister says a broad review is needed of problems which lead Island residents to seek help from a food bank.
Howard Quayle was asked in the Keys what government is doing to remove dependence on charity hand-outs.
The question from Onchan MHK Rob Callister came after the Island's Food Bank revealed around 10 people are requesting their help each week.
Mr Quayle said government couldn't solve the problem on its own, but would work with the third sector.
He said there's no quick fix, as those driven to seek help for immediate needs are affected by different factors:
Government 'neglecting' heritage assets across the Island
Motiv8: 'We will never reach all the children on the Isle of Man'
House of Keys question paper dominated by one MHK
Onchan Commissioners to undertake 'accessibility' review of park equipment
Efforts to push more services online causing frustration in community
