Expenditure on the Island’s health service could top a quarter of a billion pounds by 2035.
That’s the forecast from the Department of Health which says a national debate is needed on the future of the NHS model.
From April the department will be merged with Social Care – and is the only government department to see a budget increase this year.
Minister David Anderson says there are a number of factors putting strain on the service:
Manx Care extends mental health service to more surgeries
Bus Vannin confirms normal services to run over Easter
Steam Packet's new Northern Irish route launches today
Creamery reassures milk buyers over price rise
April fool - did you get caught this morning?!
Tea room shuts its doors for good
