Hooper admits a more secure supply is needed
Government is working to establish a more secure supply of lateral flow tests for the Isle of Man.
That's according to the health minister who says a new procurement framework is being looked at.
Last week Lawrie Hooper revealed almost £6 million had been spent on the home testing kits since the start of the pandemic.
It's a cost he says can't be sustained 'forever' and he's keen to look at sourcing the tests from a wider range of suppliers:
Mountain Road reopens
Route has been closed since Wednesday due to icy conditions
Patients 'strongly satisfied' with virtual GP pilot
Service to be evaluated before decision on whether to expand to other practices
