Online mental wellbeing services halted until end of financial year
The suspension of two wellbeing programmes could result in increased demand for other mental health services on Island, according to the interim health and social care minister.
Alfred Cannan's comments came as he was questioned in the House of Keys this week on how much money was being saved by halting Qwell and Kooth until the end of the current financial year.
It was stated just under £30,000 (£29,844) will be saved - as of 25 July this year a combined 2,312 children and adults were registered across the two online services.
Mr Cannan says the integrated mental health service will monitor whether this situation will result in resources being stretched:
Jail for pilot who hid camera in woman's bedroom
Treasury responds to UK Autumn Statement
Not known how many active cases of scabies on the Isle of Man
Cannan: 'Where I have fallen short, I am sorry'
