Health Minister Anne Pryke
HEALTH Minister Anne Pryke has admitted she got the salary of the new Hospital director wrong in the States this week.
She has apologised to her States colleagues and blamed the error – which led to her saying that Andrew McLaughlin was being paid £26,000 a month – on a miscalculation.
The JEP reported on Wednesday that Mr McLaughlin’s contract was costing the taxpayer £26,000 a month, resulting in a £312,000 annual salary.
But in a joint statement released yesterday afternoon by Deputy Pryke and her Assistant Minister, Deputy Eddie Noel, they said that Mr McLaughlin’s contract was actually worth £216,000 a year, equating to £18,000 a month.

Oh G**, the CoM cannot be trusted to get the most basic of sums correct, again. Sorry but no votes for you then.

Ministers can’t be expected to carry out such difficult mathematical calculations … it’s not what they do.

In charge of a budget in excess of £100M and she has a problem dividing £216,000 by 12.
Makes you wonder.

got the sums wrong, well its only tax payers money after all.
how many other sums have been wrong?
ask the auditor general the true cost, or thru the media would he care to clear this up.
will the taxpayer ever know a true figure?
how many have found their tax rate go up due to a short fall in the percentage they were paying?
should of saved , i can hear some say, save your are having a laugh .
al thomas’s cartoon (saturday) of the loaded tax payer is right.

“we got our sums wrong” – no you didn’t you knew exactly what you were doing, playing head games, so when you come out with the real salary we all breathe a sigh of relief, well actually it is still far too high and should have been negotiated down – but there again who in the States knows how to negotiate.
Do us all a favour and resign!!!

Sounds like back pedling to offset the public backlash! If I was as bad at my job as 99% of the COM’s and higher level states departmental managers i’d have been sacked. It makes me sick to think that i now pay 100% more tax than i did in 2005.

Dear God – what idiots we have in the States. I dread thinking what is going to happen to our lovely island when things like this happen. Would she have admitted to her mistake if the public outcry had not been so vociferous?
