The chief executive of Age Concern in the Isle of Man says she has real concerns over a move to reform the health service.

A document looking at the future funding of health and social care in the Island recently went out to public consultation, but Penny Creighton is adamant that any cutbacks mustn't affect the elderly (play attached audio file):

The DHSS says it will spend £448 million on providing services for the Island's population during the next financial year.
