Civil servants give views during committee
An scrutiny body has heard there needs to be a more 'joined-up approach' in government if the Island is to provide better nursery provision.
Tynwald's Social Affairs Policy Review Committee was taking evidence from various high-level civil servants at the Legislative Council Chamber this afternoon (2 Feb).
It comes as many families raised concerns with their politicians about the struggles of finding pre-school places for their children
Education Minister Graham Cregeen; education early years advisor Chrissy Callaghan; treasury chief executive Sheila Lowe; health chief executive Malcolm Couch and government employment and skills group manager Andy Stewart all gave their views on issue.
Mr Couch explained all departments needed the full facts before changes could be made:
Young people urged not to ignore bowel cancer symptoms
School meals review redactions necessary, says education minister
Efforts being made to retrieve lost parking fines
One-way system at Braddan Bridge next week for patching works
Businessman says he would like to improve Douglas Council's housing stock if elected
