Dr Rachel Glover previously clashed with ministers
The lead scientist behind the Island's Covid-19 testing lab says she's resigned from the DHSC.
Dr Rachel Glover had previously clashed with ministers, taking aim on social media.
In a series of tweets, Dr Glover originally said she'd not been asked to contribute to a document on the testing regime being prepared for the Council of Ministers.
More recently she was caught in a dispute with Health Minister David Ashford over the terms of her employment.
Where did I go, I hear you all ask? Well, I resigned from the DHSC and needed a breather for 24 hours so I deactivated my account for a day.

When asked whether Dr Glover would continue to work with the on-Island testing centre, she said she 'hopes to'.
Dr Glover declined an interview with Manx Radio.
