Perspective 22.9.24 - Highlights from the 1st Day of the Isle of Man Conference

Perspective - Manx Radio

The third Isle of Man Government Conference took place earlier this week and it gave us all the opportunity to question Ministers, senior civil servants and businesses leaders. The Conference focussed on the economy and there were some very informative sessions but the political background to these discussions was the sharp rebuke issued to Manx Care by the Chief Minister for unacceptable health overspends. There was little clarity given as to how this issue will be addressed and no opportunity to find out about Manx Care’s success in driving down waiting lists and improving services. Air and Sea Services, economic development, Artificial Intelligence and the biosphere were discussed and you can hear some of the Conference day 1 highlights on Perspective. As for the elephant in the room …. just silence!
