Possible changes to the provision of services by the Department of Social Care have been welcomed by a prominent member of the Island's third sector.
Last week, the department said it had discussed a range of possible changes with staff, including what it called 'externalisation' of services.
David Gawne is communications director for the Council of Voluntary Organisations and chairman of Crossroads Care.
Speaking live on Talking Heads on Manx Radio today, he said the sector was ready to do more:
