Six members needed for health body in bullying row

Friday, 15 March 2024 15:09

The body at the centre of bullying allegations against two members of the Department of Health and Social Care is looking for six new members.

The Health Services Consultative Committee is advertising six vancancies - members visit and observe services and give their views on their effectiveness.

The body was raised in the House of Keys this week when Chief Minister Alf Cannan said he wouldn't publish a report into bullying allegations a member made against Health Minister Lawrie Hooper and DHSC member Tanya August-Hanson.

Mr Cannan later announced the redacted findings of the investigation would be published.
