David Ashford admits balancing budget and demand is a challenge
The Health Minister insists finances mustn't have an impact on clinical safety.
David Ashford's comments come after an independent report into the Island's endoscopy service was made available to the public, with several policies and administrative procedures coming in for criticism.
Mr Ashford confirmed many of the recommendations made in the report have already been acted on, and that extra resources have been put into endoscopy.
The Minister admits it can be challenging to balance demand on the health service with the available budget:
Knives and 'sharp metal objects' found in Douglas Council recycling box
Bus drivers to go on strike
Taxi driver remanded in custody after admitting £11k cheque fraud against father
Island businesses invited to FSA events
Yellow warning for snow
