Professor taking up post on interim basis
The cabinet office minister has admitted she doesn't know if the Isle of Man's new public health director will be based on Island.
Professor Hugo van Woerden has been appointed on an interim basis to replace Dr Henrietta Ewart who retired in May.
Manx Radio has asked government to confirm whether he will be relocating to the Isle of Man.
Public Health sits within the Cabinet Office but Kate Lord-Brennan says she doesn't know the conditions of his appointment:

Thirteen people entered or tried to enter the Island without immigration permission since January 2025
