Doctors, pharmaceutical services, pensions to be discussed in House of Keys

Tue, 19 Dec 2017

Pensions, vacant doctors posts and pharmaceutical services are among the topics to be discussed in this week's sitting of the House of Keys.

Onchan MHK Julie Edge will ask the Health Minister how many vacant posts for doctors there currently are on the Island, and how many locum doctors are being paid.

Ms Edge will also ask Kate Beecroft when pharmaceutical services were last competitively tendered on the Island.

Meanwhile, Douglas North member David Ashford is seeking an update on pensions for women born in the 1950s, and whether changes being brought in in the UK will apply here.

The House sits from 10am.
