The Department of Health and Social Care will seek approval for up to £10 million in additional funding for Manx Care at the March sitting of Tynwald.
The department says the funding is in excess of the forecast £7 million overspend, and will include a contingency.
It has blamed rising drugs costs as a result of Covid-19 and Brexit.
Lawrie Hooper MHK, Minister for Health and Social Care, said: “The team at Manx Care has worked exceptionally hard to continue to deliver services to the public during an incredibly challenging time. Although forecasting a successful delivery of the 2021/22 cost improvement programme, I recognise that the pandemic and its wider impact has brought significant pressures on Manx Care - such as rising drug costs and high levels of staff absence, requiring cover from bank and agency staff, which incurs additional cost."
