Minister for DHSS to be quizzed on health services

by isleofman.com 12th May 2009

The House of Keys sits today, with an unusually light agenda as far as questions are concerned.

There are just two, both for oral answer, and three other items of business.

Meanwhile, in the Legislative Council a number of bills will be discussed.

The issue of mountain bike trails through the Island's glens and plantations is up for discussion in the Keys, with a question from Malew and Santon MHK Graham Cregeen.

He will ask Agriculture Minister Phil Gawne for a progress report on the provision of such trails.

The other question is from Onchan MHK David Quirk who will ask the health minister if he will make a statement on the future of health services in the Isle of Man.

Eddie Teare will reply to Mr Quirk just 24 hours after launching a far reaching public consultation, into all aspects of the provision of healthcare in the Island.

The Gambling Supervision Bill and the Payment of Members' Expenses (Amendment) Bill are both up for second reading, and there will be further discussion of the Animal Health (Amendment) Bill.

In the Legislative Council, members will consider proposed anti-terrorism legislation and the Advocates Bill, which could force more of the Island's legal profession to do legal aid work.

The Constitution Bill is down for formal first reading.

The sitting of the House of Keys gets underway at 10am, and there will be live coverage of question time on Manx Radio's AM 1368 service.

The Legislative Council will sit from 10.30am.
