Says he will 'fight with every fibre of my being'
The former health minister says he will fight further cuts to health and social care services with 'every fibre' of his being.

The Ramsey MHK hit out at the chief minister for 'cracking on' with ordering cost-saving measures whilst ignoring expert opinion.
He said the cuts proposed to health services by Manx Care so far are 'miniscule' compared to what may need to be done.
