MHKs in the South of the Island are due to meet Social Care Minister Chris Robertshaw this lunchtime over the closure of wards at Southlands.
The elderly mental infirm facility is to shut its doors because of staff shortages and eight patients will transfer to Thie Menagh in Douglas.
The shock announcement was made at a meeting at Southlands yesterday, and Rushen and Castletown MHKs are holding an urgent meeting this afternoon.
Port Erin Commissioner Lorna McKellar says the difficulties have been caused by staff shortages:
Noble's bed capacity exceeding industry-recognised 'safe levels'
Government monitoring Middle East conflict with “great concern”, says chief minister
Lord Street Development will bring jobs and a renewed sense of pride
Should the horse tram tracks be fully reinstated?
