PCCL speaks out to dispute deputy's A&E accusations

A DEPUTY should not have been allowed to repeat the allegations he made about the Accident and Emergency Department in the latest Billet d'Etat without giving the operator the chance to respond, it has been claimed.

At this week's States meeting, Deputy Mike Hadley, pictured, faces a formal reprimand for circulating a confidential report about the facility to other States members.

In a letter to States members, Primary Care Company Ltd said it could no longer maintain its professional silence regarding Deputy Hadley's continuing unsubstantiated allegations about A and E that were reiterated in the Guernsey Press.

Chairman Ian Baxendale said PCCL was disappointed that the States Assembly and Constitution Committee felt it was appropriate to include Deputy Hadley's allegations in the Billet as they had little to do with the conduct issue being debated.
