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.

It means he’s now responsible for DHSC and Enterprise.
Mr Hooper told Manx Radio he believes it will be a ‘short term’ measure:
