Overspend to be investigated by PAC
Funding pressures on the health department are here to stay, according to its Chief Executive.
Malcolm Couch was speaking after news that an £11.1 million overspend on services last year will be formally investigated by the Public Accounts Committee.
Written evidence from the public and professionals is being taken by the Clerk of Tynwald's office until the end of this week.
While Dr Couch says a proper review will have to wait until after the 2017 budget, it's important to consider the bigger picture:
Death of MGP competitor deemed accidental by inquest
Flooding caused by 'sealed off' gulley, says Douglas Council
Sailings delayed after adverse weather affects Manxman crossing
Boss of DESC urges staff to “speak up” during Tynwald whistleblowing hearing
