As a retired business consultant, what really surprises me is the lack of Management by all levels of Guernsey States. Guernsey is a small island community of some 60,000 people - what is so complicated that it needs consultants? Or is it easier to blame them if/when things go wrong? Management brings responsibility, which is not being exercised. Why is that? Guernsey is living beyond its means and, I suspect, is living in the past when finance was not a problem. The whole government machine is top-heavy for Guernsey 2013, and beyond. HSSD is a fine example. But if the problem is not faced up to and properly resolved it will only get worse. Managers are paid to manage, and there are plenty of them. They should be made to earn their pay - set up a small steering group of 5 max to come up with specific cost reductions by end Feb. Then make it happen. Sounds easier than it is, but the only alternative is to raise taxes. And that will lead to even more serious problems. Is anyone in charge? It makes me wonder.
