An ongoing review assessing the scope of the Manx government is progressing well.
The chief minister’s revealed the search for budget savings across all departments in a slimmed-down government is well under way.
A package of restructuring reforms is also due to go to Tynwald next week.
But Allan Bell says that doesn’t mean the scope work – which includes examining possible corporatisation, centralising services and assessing alternative structures – has been put on the backburner:
Government engaging with UK over international ferry levy plans
Isle of Man won't be affected by July 2026 changes to domestic voyages
Bottleneck car park shut over safety concerns
Council cites increased risk of storm surges as winds shift overnight
Forecasters warn of snow over higher ground later
Higher routes such as Mountain Road could be affected by slight accumulations
Dementia demand assessment underway as Public Health forecasting future need
Figures suggest Island prevalence of 0.7 percent, as government acknowledges demand likely to rise due to aging population
