The authorites have now been informed.<br /><br />Still, thankfully most people in the 21st century have moved on so this sad individual's horrible views will fall on deaf ears. The Civil Partnership proposals are somthing that I and every one I know are 100% behind. Consequently I would urge all of my colleagues to get behind this when it comes to the House.<br /><br />Regards.<br /><br />TrevorTrevor Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197434138079787935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-45773451608920916732011-06-25T11:04:42.541+01:002011-06-25T11:04:42.541+01:00Big Trev.

Two quick points as today's States sitting...Hi<br /><br />Two quick points as today's States sitting ran till getting on toward 7pm and I then had to visit constituents with the Housing Minister Andrew Green down at La Collette. (He is doing an excellent job - just as I knew he would.) <br /><br />Another meeting as well after I left Andrew so little time to post.Certain people just going on and on grandstanding in the States - many who you never hear a boo-to-a-goose from until the election draws near - have meant many people have had to keep putting other commitments back again and again when this could have been avoided.<br /><br />Firstly, Tom asks about a lunchtime Scrutiny meeting I mentioned in a comment. This meeting was a quickly arranged one just to finalize a few last minute review details having already spent days waiting for the Home Affairs Minister to get back to us. It wasn't a public meeting for that reason.<br /><br />Secondly, Jon and Adrian's mention of the Civil Partnership legislation. We have discussed this at the panel and we are actually going to be bringing an amendment on these proposals - hopefully to make them better still. Always believing that credit should be given where it is due Monty deserves special mention here.<br /><br />That's it for now. But yes - I will have a post up during the weekend as stated. I also have a new proposition being lodged on Monday as well.<br /><br />Keep the faith.<br /><br />TrevorTrevor Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197434138079787935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-76280520353430913972011-06-24T22:25:50.996+01:002011-06-24T22:25:50.996+01:00I agree with Jon and Adrian on the civil partners ...I agree with Jon and Adrian on the civil partners issue.

But two interesting points arose from it which I am quite happy to answer. <br /><br />First, the rather bemusing asertion that I apperently 'support Lenny Harper'.<br /><br />Unfortunately for this sad individual not only do I not 'support' Mr. Harper I have never met him, spoken to him, or even been in the same room as him. In fact I doubt Mr. Harper even knows who I am either. Perhaps more importantly still - I also have no interest in knowing or 'supporting' him. <br /><br />All the panel members - Deputies Le Herissier, Taddier,Wimberley and I are doing is undertaking a Scrutiny investigation into a matter where there are clearly questions that need to be answered.Senator Le Marquand's answer to my question in the States this week made this inevitable.<br /><br />Secondly, another rant about a press release never materializing. Sorry once again - but the press release outlining exactly what the panel are doing and our terms of reference was issued to all media (including Citizens Media) earlier today from the Scrutiny Office. <br /><br />If the mainstream media haven't as yet done anything with it you can really hardly blame me or the panel But I expect you will Anonymous - your rant suggsts you are that sort of person.<br /><br />Nevertheless, if it keeps you happy I can say that, as further matters have unfolded today which demonstrate just how out of control some within this Council of Ministers are I quite likely WILL be issuing a further personal press release within the next 48 hours.<br /><br />Finally, as for rants and insults about a former States Member - save your fingers the typing: I really have no interest in him or in giving publication to your views.<br /><br />Keep the faith.<br /><br />TrevorTrevor Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197434138079787935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-74309666538268720372011-06-23T20:08:59.145+01:002011-06-23T20:08:59.145+01:00anon

On a different subject but to comment and...Trevor,<br /><br />On a different subject but to comment and ask about the ever expanding expensive management at the General Hospital. After the Verita report saw no disciplinary action taken against the present management,because they helped to write the terms of reference and wrote in that no disciplinary action would be taken. To make my point.<br /><br />Lets get in a plumber we need work done, he charges £45.00 an hour two hours repair completed. Pay the man / woman job done.<br /><br />Could most families employ an outsider for forty hours a week costing over £45.00 an hour, joking right?<br /><br />Hospitals need locums like ordinary people need help occasionally.This is to cover for holidays, illness etc as trained stand ins, you get the picture but they are very expensive but necessary. They get paid three or four time more than a resident doctor and get paid several thousands of pounds a week depending on position.<br /><br />Now ask Anne Pryke and her expensive line up of managers, why in the General Hospital, a locum placement (the longest serving so far ) but there are others keen to continue, has been continuously employed for more three years, that's a fact. Most hospitals only use locums as essential stand in cover, and actually try not to because of the cost.<br /><br />Anonymous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-48432070228618500022011-06-22T23:08:58.872+01:002011-06-22T23:08:58.872+01:00Typo!
