Affects those under supervision of social care with no close family on Island
The health minister's admitted there's a "gap" when transferring a person, under the supervision of social care, to a nursing home when they have no close family or power of attorney.
In the House of Keys yesterday (31 January) Douglas South MHK Claire Christian highlighted an issue one of her constituents is facing.
Currently social workers are able to help fill the necessary forms in but can't make the applications on behalf of anyone.
Lawrie Hooper said whilst he is working with Treasury on the issue, it's complicated:
Investigation launched following school bus incident
'No objections' to Royal British Legion collecting at TT Grandstand, says DfE
Strong winds cause 'significant damage' at the TT Grandstand
Everest (Isle of Man) Ltd to enter voluntary liquidation
Living wage increases to £13.05
King Scallop season moves into final week
