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:
Police working to 'understand full circumstances' around prisoner's death
Peel hotel applies to become HMO instead
Afternoon Liverpool sailings cancelled
New MHKs need to learn to balance constituency and national issues
