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:
Further sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Friday's Heysham crossings affected
UK Government under scrutiny over Manx assisted dying legislation
David Lammy has still not made a recommendation that royal assent be granted
Men jailed for £49,000 cocaine ferry importation plot
Manchester duo were part of an organised crime group
Warning in place as hill snow expected overnight
Rain to fall as sleet or snow around 1000ft and above
