MHK says there's a lack of support
Government's been accused of not doing enough to ensure children in care get a fair education.
North Douglas MHK David Ashford pressed both the education and health and social care ministers on what they were doing to tackle the issue.
Around a dozen children who are looked after by the state are currently thought to be regularly play truant.
Mr Ashford says it represents a failing of the system:
Manx Care spends more than £660,000 on reviews over two-year period
DESC begins recruitment process for new chief officer
More than 60 full-time equivalent roles identified in government communications and marketing posts
