Tynwald won't be giving Manx Care extra millions until it reveals exactly how much it needs.
This month, Treasury Minister Alex Allinson wanted members' backing to give the body £20 million to pay for healthcare.
The court heard Manx Care has a budget deficit this year of £15.8 million.
Members voted to put off making a decision about giving extra money until Tynwald's April sitting.
