'The public are deeply, deeply concerned', says Rob Callister
The former health minister believes Manx Care is facing a 'funding crisis' and is urging both the health and chief ministers to engage with senior executives at Manx Care to address the ongoing issues.
Manx Care recently announced a series of cuts to patient-facing services in an effort to reduce its overspend.
The move is expected to cut an additional £5 million, bringing the total overspend down to £8 million.
However, Onchan MHK Rob Callister says there are serious discussions to be had:
