IOM DHSC & MANX CARE

What is the verdict on the 'post Magson/Malone regime'? Are things on the up in DHSC culture wise with Cope? She has been publicly quiet on the Ranson case but that is somewhat understandable as it was before her time and with the heavy political entanglement of the affair.

Well, the overheard conversation was a few days ago, and it is the culture within Manx Care, not  DHSC.

It's a bit unfair to infer that Daphne Caine, personally, got 40 mil quid. It was for a Govt scheme of climate change! Certainly it could change but that would be down to Govt savings.

Caine is probably the least likely to allow interference in the opinion she will give on this committee? Maltby has the MLP to guide her input and Peters has nothing to lose by being a thorn in Cannans side?

That's an optimistic view. 

Perhaps the right thing to do as head of Climate Change would be to hand the money back and say better use of that would be to help householders transition and give grants for insulation, etc.   Let's just see what the more groundbreaking changes we should adopt. 

MLP  doesn't seem to do anything useful unless it it is selling house clearance tat on FB.

Stu has nothing to lose, as you say

But, given my experience, I stand by "backbenchers become ministers".

....but would you want to vote for an MHK who did not have the ambition to rise up the ranks?

Most candidates say that they want to ''make a change'', ''to be part of the scrutiny of the Govt''!.... and who would want hear anything less from these candidates?

The new basic wage makes it easier for MHKs to criticise their Dept without fear of a loss of money, sure they may be fired from that dept but there is not the 'Patronage' there was before.

Ah, yes: but Teresa Cope is the CEO of Manx Care, not DHSC…

eta: I think Stuart Quayle is still interim CEO of DHSC, since Karen Malone’s resignation.

The Govt gave MUA some 29 million to alleviate bills, they didn't use it but they haven't given it back!!!!

Not sure what difference that would have made to MUAs position - either way they are going to have to claw it back from current and future customers. I suppose maybe the loan would have been worse as there would be interest to pay?

The scope of the investigation is into the handling of the tribunal by IOMG, not the circumstances which led to it.  That is a major flaw and will not throw up issues in the culture within the health service delivery (by whoever DHSC or Manx Care). 

As has been observed by others, the absence of any of the main (only 3!) MHK dissenters from the committee overseeing the investigation has missed a chance to affirm the intended independence of the process. 

Couldn't agree more. The appointment and conduct of Michaels, O'Connor, Magson, Conie and Murray need proper examination.
