Pair appear before scrutiny committee
The health and social care minister has downplayed talk of internal conflict in her department, after media speculation to the contrary.
It was reported last month that tension between Kate Beecroft and the DHSC's chief executive, Malcolm Couch, had led to the resignation of a political member.
An investigation into how that information was 'leaked' has since been launched by the Public Services Commission.
The minister and Dr Couch spent Monday afternoon together giving evidence to a Tynwald committee on various departmental issues.
Mrs Beecroft insists the two of them have a 'healthy rapport' and a stable working relationship:
Young people urged not to ignore bowel cancer symptoms
School meals review redactions necessary, says education minister
Efforts being made to retrieve lost parking fines
Businessman says he would like to improve Douglas Council's housing stock if elected
