Island could need 20 elderly homes in next two decades

The Isle of Man could need twenty new nursing homes in the next twenty years.

That's according to Chief Minister Howard Quayle who gave evidence to the Economic Policy Review Committee earlier this week.

Mr Quayle was joined by Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas and chief secretary Will Greenhow. 

The minister spoke about the big increase in over-65s on the Island, which could mean more care homes are needed than previously thought.
