The chief minister says there are no plans to privatise the Island's health system at the moment.
In the House of Keys this week, Alf Cannan faced a series of questions about private healthcare and paying for treatment.
Mr Cannan said some parts of the service were already paid for by patients.
But he said although there were currently no plans to extend fees, it may be something that's considered in future:
Cider microbrewery planned for Ballasalla
Covid wrongful arrest and torture claims thrown out by court
Tree fellers to close part of TT course on Thursday
Manx Utilities wants contractors for HQ refurb
Business needed for Peel coffee shop's 'new chapter'
Regulator freezes gas prices
Billionaire says Island's his favourite place on earth
Planners aren't influenced by advertising, says Cannan
