No planned changes to community services, says health minister

Health Minister Claire Christian says there are no planned changes to health and care community services provided locally around the Island.

She faced a question for written response from Glenfaba and Peel MHK Kate Lord-Brennan about an Eastern/Western Belt in Manx Care's operating plan.

She wanted to why the organisation was moving away from a four-region plan.

However, Ms Christian said the plan helps keep people at home for longer, and said despite the terminology used there were no plans to change services.
