Clare Barber tells Tynwald it's vital an alternative provision is secured
The environment, food and agriculture minister has welcomed a decision by Milan Vets to extend the deadline before it stops providing farm services.
Last week, the practice - which is understood to support around 90 percent of the Island's livestock - wrote to farmers saying it would end its farm work at the end of the month.
Milan has since reversed the decision, confirming services will continue beyond this month, with a further update expected "early in the new year".
Minister Clare Barber says it is vital that alternative provision is secured quickly:
