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:
Yacht club worries over lifeboat retirement
One nuisance cyclist ticketed in more than three years
New ministerial post created by chief minister
Huge floating book fair to arrive in Douglas next month
Stay safe for Hop Tu Naa tonight
