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:
Island's first rapid EV charger being installed
Mooir Vannin could be first of many
'Significant investment or redevelopment' needed at Ramsey District Cottage Hospital
Braddan Commissioners open expressions of interest for TT camping at Roundhouse
