Split-sitting for House of Keys today

Mental health referrals, sheep worrying and encouraging children to walk a mile a day - they're just some of the topics which Manx politicians will discuss today.

The House of Keys sitting - which today is being split between Douglas and Castletown - will begin with a Commonwealth Day Message from the Queen. 

13 questions for oral answer will follow - with four for written reply. 

North Douglas MHK David Ashford will quiz the Health and Social Care Minister about the number of referrals to the Mental Health Service in the last five years. 

Ayre and Michael man Tim Baker also has a question for Kate Beecroft - he wants to know about travel arrangements between UK airports and hospitals for Manx patients. 

He'll also quiz the Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey about incidents of livestock worrying - Mr Baker wants to know how many incidents have resulted in a successful prosecution. 

And Onchan MHK Julie Edge will quiz the Education and Children Minister about plans to introduce the Daily Mile Strategy as policy within Island schools.
