More than £11 million is needed to plug a hole in the Department of Health and Social Care's coffers.
The department will ask Tynwald to provide the additional funding later this month - the money is needed to continue to provide health and care services up to March 31st.
It's the second year in a row the department has sought extra funds - the cost of locum doctors, which are needed due to staff shortages, has been blamed in part for the problem:
Minister Kate Beecroft says it's her priority to ensure the department is living within its resources but admits 'hard and uncomfortable' decisions will have to be made in future:
