Cretney calls for urgent action on committee findings
A former politician is calling on government to quickly action the recommendations of a Tynwald report on suicide.
David Cretney chaired the committee which investigated the matter and says the news of 22 inquest suicide verdicts being recorded last year is concerning.
He also feels there could be further issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and therefore a working strategy is urgently needed:
Firearms amnesty comes into effect
People can surrender weapons without fear of prosecution
Chickenpox jab to become part of routine childhood vaccinations
GP practices to offer children a combined MMRV vaccine
Hark! Claims school didn't allow Christmas carols to be sung "rumour" and "hearsay", says minister
