Five mentally ill people had to be held in police cells over the last year because of a shortage of appropriate hospital facilities at the time.

He says he's now "genuinely hopeful" that progress can be made by using a joined-up approach:
Framework of new Sea Services Agreement ready, says minister
Attorney General says he's stepping down
Road closures in two towns for running event this week
Six weekend ferry crossings could face disruption
President of Tynwald announces retirement
Police close Mountain road
Fuel firm says "fingers crossed" for calmer energy costs
Ring doorbells will need data protection registration - but shouldn't cost you money
