Hooper makes statement on recently announced Manx Care cuts
The Department of Health and Social Care has expressed 'real concerns' about recent pressures to the health service, describing the past few months as 'very intense'.
Manx Care has been instructed by the government to remain within budget, leading to various cost-saving measures, including cuts to frontline services.
Health Minister Lawrie Hooper insists healthcare is underfunded and doubts that the service cuts will be made up in the future.
However, he says his options are limited:
