There are no plans to increase government's contribution towards the running of the Island's hyperbaric chamber.
Health Minister Eddie Teare confirmed the position in his reply to a question from Onchan MHK David Quirk, in the House of Keys today.
Mr Teare said the charity had received ?90,000 a year from the DHSS in each of the last few years.
