As the government unveils its five year strategy for health and social care services, a public meeting has been organised by the Positive Action Group.
Under the banner 'Fit for purpose?', the meeting will include a presentation from Department of Health and Social Care chief executive Malcolm Couch. It's being held on Monday October 26 at the Manx Legion Club in Market Hill, Douglas, starting at 7.30pm.
A PAG spokesman said: 'The future direction of the Health and Social Care is of paramount interest to all citizens old or young. It is in the safe pair of hands of Dr Couch, whom we are delighted has agreed to present his ideas direct to the public, shortly after receiving the approval of Tynwald. Dr Couch clearly communicates his ideas and is at ease with meeting people.
'One of the concepts being promoted in the report is "integration" in providing better care and more efficient care. Anyone who wants to find out more should pop along to the Legion. As usual there will be an opportunity to question the speaker. The meeting is free and open to all.'
