Health minister says he's working hard to ensure provisions are in place
Drawing up regulations, ensuring the counselling service is prepared and extra capacity at the hospital.
These are the biggest challenges facing the Department of Health and Social Care ahead of implementing new abortion legislation.
Health and Social Care Minister David Ashford made the announcement in February's sitting of Tynwald, that the laws will come into force from 24 May.
The bill was first brought to Tynwald 18 months ago.
The Minister also said the entire legislation would be effective immediately rather than introducing it incrementally.
He told Manx Radio what needs to be done in the meantime:
Rushen MHK calls for progress on 20mph zones in south
Allinson: "I still want to be involved in politics of local community"
Hospital transfer decisions made by 'experienced clinicians using professional judgement'
Residents invited to meet private oncologists to discuss 'health bridge'
