By Meg Walker

Manx Care has confirmed plans to reduce waiting lists across its mental health departments.

The health organisation is partnering with mental health charity MCH Psychological Services, the charity behind Minds Matter and Isle Listen, to deliver services.

Minds Matter will provide therapeutic support, both one-on-one and in groups, depending on the needs of the children and young adults referred to them.

The move is due to the demand on Manx Care's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and Community Mental Health Service for Adults (CMHSA).
