Ramsey MHK Alex Allinson says he’s met with the Department of Health and Social Care and Manx Care to get ‘firm answers’ about the future of Cummal Mooar.

He says it’s unhelpful for those affected that there is a ‘huge’ amount of uncertainty regarding the potential closure and communications from Manx Care have created ‘upset’.

The Treasury Minister also met with the town’s commissioners last week to discuss the care home.

Dr Allinson says he is working with the DHSC Minister Lawrie Hooper to form a plan for the future of it:
