The Manx Legion hall in Douglas was packed to capacity last night to quiz the social care minister on his department's future policies.
The public meeting was the latest one organised by the Positive Action Group, and formed part of an ongoing consultation process the Department of Social Care is carrying out.
Speaking live on Mandate on Manx Radio today Chris Blythe said despite minister Chris Robertshaw outlining the difficulties his department faces, it would be difficult to convince the public to get on board with any cuts:
Manx Utilities apologises for road closure amid 'essential maintenance'
Teen accused of wounding with intent to murder appears in court
Section of Quarterbridge Road to close for tree works
Concern in Northern Ireland over fishing visas
DoI seeking 'fair and sustainable' solution to bus drivers' dispute
