The Chief Minister has responded to the extensive Covid review, in the first Tynwald sitting of 2024.
Before he set out highlighting Government's experience The Chief Minister said we should first remember those who lost their lives, or feel the lasting effects of long-Covid or grief, he then went on to thank all those who gave evidence, saying, for many of them it will not have been easy.
Mr Cannan then went on to outline what lessons government have learnt as a result of the recommendations, these included revising the emergency plan, making sure staff voices can be heard, establishing a Children's Services Improvement Board and making changes to allow for the appointment of non-executive directors to provide constructive challenge to the operation of departments.
The review's author, Kate Brunner KC will return to the Island on 18th March to engage further with the Council of Ministers and Tynwald Members, with the Chief Minister vowing the report will be debated in April, with government's response to the recommendations offered also.
Final recommendations for action will be delivered to July's Tynwald sitting.
