Lay members sought for mental health services

Do you have ideas about how to improve the Island's mental health service?

A body which protects and assures the welfare, rights and interests of detained patients is looking for three members.

The Mental Health Care Commission says it needs three lay members to work with the Department of Health and Social Care as well as Manx Care.

The Mental Health Commission consists of 7 members, at least 2 of which have a suitable professional qualification and recent experience (within the last 24 months) of caring for the mentally ill within the context of inpatient services.

Members are appointed for a term of 3-years.
