MHK questions whether funds could have been paid out sooner
Families are facing 'enormous pressure' while waiting to receive payments from government support schemes during lockdown.
That's from Douglas South MHK Claire Christian, who questions whether more could have been done to get money out sooner to businesses and individuals in need of help during the circuit breaker.
MERA payments started to be sent out last week, while Salary Support Scheme funds will be paid today.
Mrs Christian says it's been a frustrating time for some:
