New legislation coming up in the area
Legislating for animal welfare - that's first priority for our new director of Animal and Plant Health.
Alistair Breed has taken up the post in the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture - including the role as chief veterinary officer.
He's taking over from Stewart Jaques after his departure from DEFA - but has additional responsibility for Plant Health and disease prevention.
Mr Breed joined the department 24 years ago - he says he has a clear idea of what to tackle first:
Staffing shortages continue to impact Manx breast clinic services
'Every single aspect of prison being tested' as it remains over official capacity
No plans for IoM to introduce EU's artificial intelligence regulations
Cummal Mooar replacement proposals 'before the summer recess'
