DHSC went £9.9m over budget last year
The Health and Social Care Minister has defended an overspend of almost £10 million by his department over the last year.
Howard Quayle said the DHSC is working to reduce expenditure - but some costs are both unforeseen and unavoidable.
This week, Tynwald unanimously approved an extra £9.9 million of funding to cover the spillover.
But Mr Quayle says making cuts to healthcare isn't as straightforward as doing it elsewhere:
Revised plans for Lord Street bus station development
Height of premises would be lowered under changes
Consultation for new National Infrastructure Safety Bill
Department of Home Affairs wants public feedback
Steam Packet cancels Friday evening sailings
It is due to adverse weather forecast
"Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital is not at risk of closure"
Manx Care insists relocation of services is only temporary
