Manx Care spending set to exceed £361.8 Million budget

The Health Minister has confirmed that Manx Care’s forecasted spend exceeded its budget on all three reporting dates.

In response to Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper's written question about the 2025/26 forecast, Claire Christian said the overspend rose from £5 million in June to £9 million in July and August.

The full-year budget is £361.8 million, including a 2% efficiency target. 

It also includes a £4.3 million uplift, with a £10 million contingency from Treasury added in August to help cover cost pressures.
