Charities already responding to financial constraints
David Gawne has played down fears the third sector will be hit hard by budget cuts in the health department.
The chairman of the Council of Voluntary Organisations was speaking as a consultation on the future of healthcare services on the Island draws to a close.

But Mr Gawne rejected the idea they're the first to be axed when the purse strings tighten:
