One option would be 'detrimental to delivery of services' according to board's interim chair
Manx Care is considering a number of funding options as it seeks to balance patient safety and care with meeting its budget.
The healthcare provider's interim chair told its board meeting that it has three options for next year, including one which would be 'deeply unpalatable' and 'detrimental to the delivery of services'.
Manx Care's most recent figures show it's currently expected to be £27.2m over budget in the current financial year.
Sarah Pinch says a range of options are being considered:
First in series of 'Isle be Ready' sessions to take place next month
New support centre 'an oasis' for cancer patients
Orrisdale Road to close for a month for resurfacing works
