I have just heard that a senior MHK has told the medical staff under his control they they will not be granted any extra time off and will use the Budget restraints put on his department by the rest of Tynwald to enforce the issue. So the early roads closed will be a non starter. Further to this questions are being asked of the DOT regarding overtime costs for employees having to do extra hours on the event in a time when Government departments are being squeezed over costs.
