Deputy minister could resign today
Tuesday 31st May 2011, 11:30AM BST.
DEPUTY Health and Social Services minister Andrew Le Lievre (pictured) told his minister last night that he wanted to resign from the department.
A final decision is expected today after a meeting of some board members when it is understood he wants more information released about the funding of extra care housing.
Last week, the States rejected his call for a delay on the redevelopment of Maison Maritaine and Longue Rue care homes to allow more work on how it would be paid for in the long run.
His delaying motion – a sursis – was supported by three other board members, but came after they had all agreed to support the Housing-led redevelopment plans.

Oh lord. Does this mean the states are planning to start a redevelopment without knowing how it is going to be paid for? I imagine it is expensive – what if they can’t find the money half way through the redevelopment?
Is this the equivalent of getting an expensive house that you may or may not be able to repay the mortgage on?
I’m all for better care for the elderly but if he is the only person asking a sensible question I really hope he does not resign.

Ask not if he is Sepp Blatter, maybe it’s

If he was Blatter he’d be hanging on by his fingernails, chanting the mantra ‘crisis, what crisis?’
The other huge difference is that nobody really cares whether Dep. Le Lievre resigns or stays put whereas true football fans everywhere are hoping and praying for an early end to the corrupt and utterly discredited Blatter regime at FIFA.

Fine – I have some free time tomorrow, from 2.30- 2.45. As his employer, will happily help him clear his desk.

No!
He’s not in disguise.
In fact he shows a typical States member, when he can’t get his own way.
And they say babies screech and shout, my oh my.
