More joined-up approach needed - Cretney
There's been a call for health services to adopt a more 'joined-up' approach in caring for those with dementia.
A Tynwald committee which is looking at mental health provision has been taking evidence from families of sufferers, and will report back to the Osland's parliament in the near future with recommendations.
Its chairman, David Cretney MLC, says it's identified areas where provision is 'unsuitable', especially for vulnerable members of the community.
He says those areas need to be addressed:
Commissioner 'steps away' from local authority work temporarily
New MHKs need to talk to the public more, says commentator
No prosecutions despite food hygiene recorded breaches
Inquest opens into 12-year-old's death
