States slow to embrace the lessons of Fallagate
Saturday 24th May 2008, 9:29AM BST.
THE States is operating using flawed, outdated or inadequate procedures because of its slowness in implementing the Fallagate recommendations, according to the committee which made them.
In December, the Public Accounts Committee’s report into the clinical block saga made 14 recommendations. IIn February, four of these came back to the House for approval, but the Policy Council, Treasury and Commerce and Employment are yet to return with the others.
A report could go before the States in July. ‘Although the committee regrets the slowness with which these recommendations are being implemented, the eventual outcome from this review will be beneficial as the States of Guernsey should become more effective and efficient,’ said PAC chairman Leon Gallienne (pictured) in its annual report.
‘Until such time as the changes are made, the States continues to operate using flawed, outdated or inadequate procedures.’
