New chair set to be appointed for Manx Care

Health Minister to seek Tynwald approval for appointment next month

A new chair for the Island's healthcare provider is set to be appointed next month.

Health and Social Care Minister Lawrie Hooper will ask Tynwald to approve the appointment of Wendy Reid as chair of Manx Care.

If supported by members, she'll hold the post for not less than three years and no longer than five years.

The post has been vacant since the death of Andrew Foster earlier this year.
