It may feel like groundhog day for Health Minister Kate Beecroft during House of Keys question time today, as the issue of patient taxi transfers appears again.

Mrs Beecroft clearly did not satisfy the appetite for information of David Ashford (Douglas North) with her update on the patient transfer contract situation in Tynwald last week.

The decision to switch providers for the taxi service taking patients from airports to hospitals is not something that Mr Ashford is not ready to let lie just yet.

He wants to know how the feedback received - which Mrs Beecroft has agreed has not been wholly positive - is being considered.

He also wants to know how many complaints have been received, in particular in relation to the vehicles used by the new provider ComCab.

Mr Ashford also wants to know where we are at with the proposals to change the governance structure of the Isle of Man Post Office.

Last year, Tynwald rejected most of the recommendations in a report proposing corporatisation.

The only recommendation that won Tynwald backing was that the Post Office be transformed from a statutory board into a company owned by the government and established under Manx company law.

Other questions will cover a plastic bag levy, abandoned vehicles, public sector rent income and dredging of the Silverburn River.

The first question tabled for written answer, by Lawrie Hooper (LibVannin, Ramsey), asks whether a board member or employee of the Financial Services Authority is permitted to own an interest ’in an entity regulated by the authority’.

It does not take long to imagine where Mr Hooper is going with this, as he has another question asking ’how soon after their appointment board members and the chief executive of the Isle of Man FSA have to declare any pre-existing conflicts of interest and current directorships and display these on the website’.

There are six questions tabled for written answer in all. Other issues include the percentage of re-offending among prison inmates, election costs, tax income from retail, land and property, and which public authorities are allowed to authorise surveillance.

The general principle of the Casino Amendment Bill, which updates the law to combat money laundering and allow variations on the rules on premises, will be discussed at the second reading stage.

Finally, Treasury Minister Alfred Cannan will introduce new measures add to the Statute Law Revision Bill, which is at the clauses stage.
