Minister responds to concerns over reduction in services
The current level of speech and language therapy in Manx schools can't be maintained in the short term future.
Health and Social Care Minister David Ashford was speaking in Tynwald this morning in response to a question from Garff MHK Daphne Caine.
Mrs Caine was concerned about a reduction in the services due to be implemented this month.
Minister Ashford told the court a letter had been sent to the schools last month:
Chickenpox jab to become part of routine childhood vaccinations
GP practices to offer children a combined MMRV vaccine
Hark! Claims school didn't allow Christmas carols to be sung "rumour" and "hearsay", says minister
