More joined-up approach needed - Cretney
There's been a call for health services to adopt a more 'joined-up' approach in caring for those with dementia.
A Tynwald committee which is looking at mental health provision has been taking evidence from families of sufferers, and will report back to the Osland's parliament in the near future with recommendations.
Its chairman, David Cretney MLC, says it's identified areas where provision is 'unsuitable', especially for vulnerable members of the community.
He says those areas need to be addressed:
Union says no 'authorised offer' has been made in bus pay dispute
Vehicle recovery company called out to Braddan Road eight times
Red weather warning issued for coastal overtopping
Douglas seawall breached
