The Health Minister says comparisons between government funding of hospices here and abroad must be made with caution.
Last week, Hospice Isle of Man announced it's cutting services because of costs, pointing out the 24 percent of government support it receives is lower than UK and Jersey counterparts.
In the House of Keys this week, Ms Christian made an urgent statement reassuring the public key services would be protected.
She said differences in the charities' structures means the Island gets a higher percetage of funding in practice:
Mountain Road to close because of gales
New amber warning issued for tonight's storm
Police appeal over theft of building materials
One of capital's oldest buildings may become housing
New NHS safety rule to be brought in on Island
Two city streets to shut for over six months
Revamp of airport terminal planned, says DOI
Four ferries now listed as cancelled today
