MHK granted permission to ask DHSC minister urgent question 

Tim Glover wants to know if Lawrie Hooper will make a statement on Manx Care's proposed service cuts

The health minister will be asked next week if he intends to make a statement on Manx Care's proposed service cuts. 

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Tim Glover has been permitted to ask an urgent question in Tynwald. 

It comes after the healthcare provider revealed a raft of cut backs this week in a bid to reduce its projected overspend.

Previously, Manx Care Chief Executive Teresa Cope told Manx Radio the decision to cut the amount of elective surgery carried out isn't a political gesture.
