A DEPUTY calling for a vote of no confidence against health minister Mark Dorey has secured the seven signatures needed to ask the entire HSSD board to resign.

The vote was launched by Deputy Mike Hadley after Deputy Dorey admitted misinforming the States about the bowel cancer-screening budget underspend.

Deputy Hadley has signed a letter along with fellow deputies Roger Perrot, Barry Paint, John Gollop, Lester Queripel, David De Lisle and former HSSD minister Hunter Adam.

The letter, which asks for the resignations of the Health and Social Services board members, will be emailed to them, said Deputy Hadley.

He said that if the board did not resign within five working days, he would give the requete to the chief minister for the issue to be debated at the January States meeting.

Deputy Hadley said he had struggled to get enough signatures for the letter, with the last one being acquired only yesterday lunch­time.
