  • Claire Christian was appointed to the Council of Ministers just over a week ago, and has outlined her priorities as maintaining service levels, ensuring value for money, and driving efficiencies across the health body.

The article from Manx Radio discusses the Isle of Man's Health Minister, Lawrie Hooper, defending his decision to join the government following a vote of no confidence against the previous Chief Minister, Alfred Cannan. Hooper, who was reappointed as Health Minister, emphasized that the vote was not a reflection on the entire government but rather on Cannan's leadership. He argued that the government has been making progress, particularly in health services, with improvements in waiting times and the introduction of new services. Hooper also highlighted the importance of continuity and stability in government, suggesting that stepping down would not serve the public interest. He expressed his commitment to continue working on health reforms and improvements despite the political turbulence.
