The Department of Social Care (
Department of Local Government and the Environment. On 2 December 2013 as part of the Council of Ministers' plans to modernize ministerial government[1] it was announced that the Department of Health and the Department of Social Care (with the exception of Social Security, which would move to Treasury) would merge on 1 April, subject to the approval of Tynwald. The move was by and large a reversal of one element of the restructuring of the Isle of Man Government in April 2010 which saw the former Department of Health and Social Security
split to form the Department of Health and the Department of Social Care.
During its existence, the Department of Social Care was the largest department of the Isle of Man Government in terms of budget.
