Chief minister quizzed on healthcare budget in House of Keys
There will be serious and long-term consequences for the Island's finances if spending on healthcare isn't brought under control.
That's from the chief minister after he was asked whether Manx Care can adhere to its budget in this week's sitting of the House of Keys.
Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper accused Alfred Cannan of being unable to answer the 'yes/no' question, but Mr Cannan said there are a number of factors to consider.
He believes it's vital to ensure the overspend is resolved:
Photo ID requirements could create 'faff' at borders, says Steam Packet boss
DHSC minister 'absolutely committed' to reopening Ramsey hospital
Enterprise minister 'optimistic' following challenging period for tourism sector
Plans to protect Douglas Head to be laid before Tynwald in May
