DHSC seeking nearly £12million to build new care home

The Department of Health and Social Care will be looking for nearly £12million in support next week to build a new care home on Island.

DHSC Minister, David Ashford MHK, will ask members of Tynwald to approve £11.7million in funding to help create the new 60-bed Summerhill View home, which is aiming to eventually replace the Reayrt ny Baie facililty.

Just over £750,000 has already been approved to cover design fees and enabling works.

The issue will be discussed when Tywnald meets virtually next Tuesday (June 16) from 10.30am.
