More evidence of a rise in the number of pensioners on the Island has come to light.
A recent Quarterly Economic Report to the Council of Ministers suggests that there's been a growth in number of people of pensionable age.
The number of older people is projected to rise from 16,000 in 2014 to 26,000 by 2035.
£234 million is being spent on Health and Social Care this year - a quarter of government's total gross budget - which can no longer be sustained.
Chief Minister Allan Bell says the situation must be dealt with swiftly:
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
Special Olympics fundraiser needs you
Peel ready for bonfire and fireworks later
Government: "UK never told us about child murderer"
