Tynwald Policy Decisions List (TRACKER)*
Supporting the Tynwald Policy Decisions Report
The Tynwald Policy Decisions Report is published annually by Cabinet Office. The Report is collated and compiled by the Cabinet Office from the action, information and allocated status provided by the various Departments, Offices and Statutory Boards. This list is a way of facilitating the updates from a central source. The list is published on the website in full.
The Tynwald Policy Decisions Report list *is intended to be* all Tynwald policy decisions including recommendations of Tynwald Committees to be actioned by Government. The responses to Tynwald policy decisions
may require action over a number of years for example if legislation is
proposed. Policy decisions therefore remain within the list until completed
actions have been reported to Tynwald. (Tynwald decisions which are not for action by Government e.g. the establishment of a Tynwald Select Committee are not included.)
The Office of the Clerk of Tynwald manage the list to provide Members and the public with a reference list of all* Tynwald Policy Decisions and their progression to date.

To resolve:
*What date did CabO start entering the decisions and what was the criteria? Looks like for earlier reports if a Decision was implemented it isn't on the list.
Example Ref No 19/09 - In the report 2010-GD-0048 there are 5 recommendations. The two entered on the list are the two that were outstanding.
Example Ref No 20/09 - Listed in the report 2010-GD-0048 but not on the list.
Example Ref No 46A/06 - Listed in the report 2010-GD-0048 but not on the list.
Example Ref No 33/06 - n the report 2006-GD-003 there are numerous recommendations. Only recommendations that were outstanding cna be found on the list.
Using the list and definitions of statuses
Tynwald policy decisions are ordered in chronological order with a
unique reference number, the month and year of the decision, the Tynwald
decision, a short commentary on the action taken by Government and an overview
of the status as to whether the policy decision has been `Implemented','
Ongoing', 'Under Consideration', 'Carried Forward' or 'Closed' (not to be
Implemented).
The definitions of status are:
- Implemented
— all necessary work has been completed
- Ongoing
— work has begun on complying with the Tynwald
decision
- Under Consideration
— Department has looked at the Tynwald decision, it has been
discussed but actual work has not yet commenced
- Carried Forward — Tynwald decision
relates to a long standing commitment or the Department is waiting to proceed
- Closed — Tynwald decision is
not to be implemented as the Department has decided not to proceed, a very
strong justification should be used in the 'Action Taken' column to explain
this decision.
