Theodolite Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 * Does not have a clear strategic direction or agreement on its strategic objectives and desired outcomes * Lacks the structure for clear corporate leadership * Has unclear and protracted decision making processes, with decisions not always being underpinned by good quality information * Does not have effective systems of accountability and scrutiny in place * Lacks appropriate mechanisms to address concerns regarding the conduct of States’ deputies and staff So many bullshit words and phrases in such a small space.

Evil Goblin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 "How many Government employees walk home " - really, Theo, as if they would demean themselves by walking! Into the Jags, Volvos, Beamers, etc. is more like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jehovah Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I did a similar exercise, and estimate we also have 24 weaknesses in government. What about the other 25%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moghrey Mie Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I am no government apologist as you all know, but my suspicion is that if we got in the WAO on the same brief we would come out very well We have a five year plan and we folow it, we have committees which examine public expenditure and policy We have a cabinet which does sort of function collectively I'm not saying we are good because it is comparative, but that says a lot about Guernsey in my view What none of the Crown Dependencies have is policy choice for the electorate at election time, at the end of the day that must be the first benchmark Well we are talking post the MEA fiasco now so things have probably been tightened up lately.

P.K. Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 How many Government employees walk home with over £1000 a week on this little Island of 80,000? Far too many I would say: A reshuffle. What an excellent way to disguise award well-earned promotions. Caught my eye from the Gov Accounts: Remuneration Band 2009/2008 £225,000 - £249,999 1/0 £200,000 - £224,999 3/1 £175,000 - £199,999 13/8 £150,000 - £174,999 12/13 £125,000 - £149,999 21/16 £100,000 - £124,999 34/28 £75,000 - £99,999 87/53 £50,000 - £74,999 591/413 Even in these austere times that Public Servant Gravy Train just keeps rolling along and along. How heartening... This made me laugh from the BBC: Public consultation has been extended on two posts aimed at strengthening scrutiny processes in the Isle of Man government. Full screed here. What "scrutiny processes"????? McLeod reported that Bell had "misled" Tynwald and he's still there! MEA!!!!!! Etc bloody etc - unfortunately...

P.K. Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 The really concerning thing to me is that during a recession the number on the £50k - £75k band went from 413 to 591. A massive increase of 43% in just 12 months. I can't see how that could possibly be justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earwacs Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Wow! Approximately £30m a year on people earning more than £50k a year each! I've tried googling to see how that compares to a local government servicing a similar population in England, but can't find any figures. Does anyone think the figure is reasonable compared to local government in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triskelion Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Those figures aren't particularly illuminating. How many of those are GPs/Consultants/Dentists? Also, those presumably moving into the 50k+ band would be doing so on the basis of pay rises agreed before the current economic difficulties.

Gladys Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 If there are dentists, doctors etc. then that is a great relief. But are dentists and doctors real civil servants, I thought they were contracted, but not employed, by the Government? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
