Major legislation passes first reading
A Bill to reshape the Island's health service will undergo its second reading in the House of Keys next week (22nd Mar).
The Health and Care Service Bill 2016 would see the Island's NHS incorporate social care at its core - effectively rebranding it as the 'NHSC'.
It would also amalgamate provisions, establish a 'Health Charter' and enable the Department of Health and Social Care to implement changes more quickly.
Minister Howard Quayle explained how this will work:
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
Island offers consumer fuel protection advice
Ballabeg man declares intention to stand in 2026 General Election
Government 'might not be targeting the right people' to move to the Island says MHK
Almost 800 people have had their visa curtailed in the past three years
