The health minister has claimed it would be "inappropriate" to speak about the reasons behind the suspension from duty of his department's director of health strategy and performance.
In the House of Keys today, Eddie Teare refused to be drawn on the matter when questioned by Michael MHK David Cannan.
Norman McGregor Edwards has been suspended since January and is the subject of an internal investigation over allegations he sent inappropriate emails.
Mr Teare said things were being dealt with in the usual way:
Bus price set to rise from next week
Former Douglas nightclub to transform into 'multi-functional hub'
Apology for those facing 'challenges' with visa applications
MHK hopes to secure provision of free period products
Ballalockie should be complete by the end of Summer
Cycling: IoM Youth and Junior Tour returns this weekend
