Consultation with residents and staff needed
All interested parties will need to be consulted about any future replacement of the Cummal Mooar residential home in Ramsey.
That's according to Health Minister Lawrie Hooper.
In the past week, Manx Care announced the facility was going to close in the next two years and that the construction of a new home would not be going ahead.
But Mr Hooper has stated his department's intention to keep it open until it's replaced, although he's not able to say when that will be:
Manx Care has declined to be interviewed.
