Health and Social Care Minister Lawrie Hooper has resigned.
The Liberal Vannin leader had served as DHSC Minister for all of the current admission, with the exception of the brief period he was moved to Enterprise.
He has been publicly critical of the underfunding of the health and social care service in recent months and made fairly clear his feelings that the cuts Manx Care have made have been driven by Treasury and the Chief Minister.
Mr Hooper has said that he does not believe in the direction the government is heading in and said quitting is the “only card I have left to play”.
