Follows sacking of former minister Rob Callister
The returning health and social care minister says his return will provide ‘stability’ and ‘continuity’ to the department.
Lawrie Hooper is back in charge of the department following the sacking of Onchan MHK Rob Callister.
It means he’s now responsible for DHSC and Enterprise.
Mr Hooper told Manx Radio he believes it will be a ‘short term’ measure:
