Finances for the Island's mental health services will be under the spotlight in Tynwald tomorrow.

Speaker of the House of Keys, Juan Watterson MHK, will question Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford MHK, on the matter when court members convene for their latest virtual sitting.

Mr Watterson is set to ask why the mental health service was budgeted to underspend by £1million for 2020/21.

Meanwhile, the next sitting, taking place remotely, will get underway on Tuesday morning from 10.30am.
