'Changes aren't set in stone'
"Alternate means of funding need to be examined by the Island's Health Service."
That from Garff MHK, Daphne Caine - she insists changes proposed by the Department of Health and Social Care - including increases in prescription fees - aren't set in stone, and the Manx public should have their say.
The concern relates to those on limited incomes, who may struggle to bear additional cost the new plans are likely to incur.
Mrs Caine says there must be other ways to address the deficit:
Ayre and Michael MHKs request meeting with commissioners over rates
Mountain Road remains closed
Data breach impact rises sharply as cyber incidents affect thousands on Isle of Man
Heritage campaigner's awareness leads to 'red flagging system' at Amazon
Island residents can see Mars in Peel from today
