The Health Minister has reversed a controversial decision to stop new admissions to three residential homes for the elderly .
Last month the minister announced Glenside and Reayrt ny Baie homes in Douglas and the Cummal Mooar Centre in Ramsey would stop taking long-term admissions.
Instead, the department was to to expand its care in the community, so elderly people could stay in their homes, longer.
Health Minister Eddie Teare (pictured), said the plans were now on hold after two unrelated and unforeseen demands on the DHSS:
DoI to move to monthly dredging in order to protect harbour depth
Oie Voaldyn: 'Our event is not cancelled'
Last chance to enter 2026 Parish Walk
