The Social Care Minister says there is a genuine commitment to implement disability discrimination legislation in the Isle of Man.
In Tynwald next week, Liberal Vannin MHK Kate Beecroft will call for the Disability Discrimination Act to be brought into force as soon as possible.
It’s still not been implemented, seven years after receiving royal assent.
But Chris Robertshaw has dismissed suggestions the legislation is gathering dust:
Government engaging with UK over international ferry levy plans
Isle of Man won't be affected by July 2026 changes to domestic voyages
Bottleneck car park shut over safety concerns
Council cites increased risk of storm surges as winds shift overnight
Forecasters warn of snow over higher ground later
Higher routes such as Mountain Road could be affected by slight accumulations
Dementia demand assessment underway as Public Health forecasting future need
Figures suggest Island prevalence of 0.7 percent, as government acknowledges demand likely to rise due to aging population
