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:
Plans to boost dyslexia support 'game changing'
Reaction as Tynwald members approve committee's recommendations
Police hope to extend Operation Needle next year
No motorbikes reported stolen over TT period
Victim Support: 'No World Cup match result should put you at risk of domestic abuse'
Charity running campaign during international football tournament
Dyslexia recommendations are 'practical, proportionate and achievable'
Tynwald receives report from committee and rejects CoMin changes
