Treasury minister admits need for supplementary vote is frustrating
The treasury minister says Manx Care is looking at ways to provide health services as efficiently as possible to avoid another overspend next year.
Alex Allinson admits it's frustrating to have to ask Tynwald to approve a £20 million supplementary vote for health funding.
It's to cover an expected £15.8 million overspend from Manx Care, as well as further forecast risks.
Dr Allinson says increasing costs and demand make setting a budget for healthcare challenging:
