    Extra £2.3 million needed for care home costs

    The Department of Health and Social Care says it needs another £2.3 million to cover the costs of a Douglas care home.

    In April, minister Lawrie Hooper will ask Tynwald to approve the extra cash.

    Summerhill View on Victoria Road had a budget of just over £12.5 million, but actually cost £14.9 million.

    Earlier this year, Manx Care revealed it would need an extra £1.5 million to employ the extra staff needed to run the 60-bed facility.
