Mandate tasking Manx Care to save £4million in efficiency costs
Saving money within the Island's healthcare system will be focused on 'how' services are delivered and not on 'what' gets offered.
That's the belief of the health and social care minister.
Manx Care has been tasked with finding efficiency savings of £4million under a new mandate which is due to go before Tynwald.
Lawrie Hooper says what'll be done to achieve that will mostly be behind the scenes:
Isle of Man inflation eases slightly to 2.8% in October
Rising restaurant, food and tobacco prices continue to drive inflation, while energy costs help offset increases
Progress on autism strategy welcomed
