MHK calls for fresh start on children's contracts

Tuesday, 13 January 2015 00:00

Government needs to adhere to the correct processes with regards to the tender for children's services.

That's the view of Onchan MHK Peter Karran who will put forward a motion in Tynwald next week.

The tender saw contracts transfer from The Children's Centre to St Christopher's - a conflict of interest was later revealed.

Mr Karran says the contracts should now be regarded as null and void:
