The Chief Minister doesn't think the disbanding of the Children's Services Partnership has had a negative impact.

Howard Quayle expressed his view in response to a question from Garff MHK Daphne Caine in Tynwald yesterday.

She'd asked how the Minister plans to replace the Childrens Service partnership - which was discontinued in December 2017, and if he thought its demise did have a negative impact.

He said no, and since the partnership had been replaced the new system seems to be working satisfactorily.
