Health Minister Eddie Teare says the Island’s response to the end of the reciprocal healthcare agreement is being hampered by delays in other countries.
Mr Teare had been due to report to this month's Tynwald with options, after the United Kingdom said it would end the agreement next year.
But in the court, he gave a statement apologising for delays and said he hoped to update members on the progress made later this year.
Mr Teare said negotiations with Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland led to the delay:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Weekend sailings at risk
Plans submitted for 85 new homes on former Buchan School site
