Quayle denies staff are on holiday
The Chief Minister is downplaying concerns over a £4 million expenses bill racked up by the health department since 2012.
Bosses have explained the sum, revealed via a Tynwald written answer, is comprised mainly of fuel allowances for its 2,500 mobile staff.
Much of the remaining figure is claimed to cover off-Island training and relocation costs.
Former DHSC boss Howard Quayle says grouping all expenses together can present a distorted picture:


'Essential' that school staff recognise the signs of an allergic reaction
'High' risk of wildfires over the next week
'Come From Away' to continue after cast member injured during rehearsal
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
