Former minister wants to prevent NHS privatisation

Former health minister Lawrie Hooper is to ask Tynwald to stop Manx Care privatising parts of the Island's health service.

When the court sits next week, he'll introduce a motion calling the organisation's mandate and operating plan 'inadequate'.

He wants the Department of Health and Social Care to produce new plans protecting frontline services and preventing them being replaced with private options.

Tynwald is due to sit in Legislative Building in Douglas from Tuesday, April 22.
