Deputy Mike Hadley resigns from Health & Social Sevices

Deputy Mike Hadley stepped down from the post on Wednesday, but will remain a member of the States.
He has spoken out against the department to the media about issues including housing licences, staff recruitment and resources.
But Mr Hadley denied breaking any States conduct rules, adding he would be able to express his political views more freely from the back benches.
He said by speaking out he had only gone against an understanding between board members.
In September, the deputy spoke out against a reciprocal health agreement between Guernsey and the UK, saying Guernsey paid too much providing health care for visitors which could be better spent elsewhere. (from BBC news)

That is what happens when you speak out . I hate the way (the States)do everything in a shroud of secrecy. You must remember last year when all the States were told under no circumstances must you talk to the media. Open & Transparent my a**e.

Thanks Pete for the support but unlike some already in the house i admit i do not know enough about how the island is run and the complexities of different issues, and i would probably spend most of my time fighting a losing battle . No i will keep on giving my opinion (whether right or wrong)as an armchair politician for now :) .

Digger, armchair pundits are the most knowledgeable of all for they cover many many subjects locally and globally and always invariably have the correct solution...................What better foundations for a career in politics!!
