Lawrie Hooper quizzed minister on future of Cummal Mooar this week
A Ramsey MHK says he is confident a replacement for Cummal Mooar residential home is on the way, despite a ten-year hiatus.
Lawrie Hooper says he was happy with the answer given to him by Health Minister Claire Christian to a question in The House of Keys on the matter this week.
The facility looked set to close in August 2023 but this was put on hold and this time last year DHSC said it was working with Manx Care to ensure the design of a new building is fit for purpose.
Mr Hooper was optimistic about progress despite it being fifth on a list of planned developments:
More property sales in February, but average price falls
Manx Care provides information about its Easter opening hours
Westminster seminar was 'unique opportunity', says MLC
Crosby Wastewater Treatment Works officially handed over to Manx Utilities
Dredging to begin in Douglas Harbour
