Clarity Wanted on Manx Care Support Costs

Treasury Minister Chris Thomas has been asked to publish a full breakdown of the central government services provided to Manx Care since its creation.

This includes staffing levels, employee costs, contractor spending and the value of cross‑government recharges.

The written question, tabled by Onchan MHK Julie Edge, seeks detailed figures for every year since Manx Care’s inception.

Ms Edge asked for the full‑time equivalent headcount dedicated to Manx Care within centralised services, the associated pay costs, any contractor expenditure, and the sums recharged by Treasury, the Attorney General’s Chambers, the Department of Infrastructure, Government Transformation Services and the Office of Human Resources.

The question is due for a response by March 12.
