The deputy, who was elected to the committee after becoming one of the new members of the States elected this year, said that she was quitting the committee for personal reasons.
‘The last two months have been particularly difficult for me and I now need to give time to sorting out matters to do with my late mother’s estate and to grieve,’ she said.
It had been ‘a real privilege and joy’ to work with her fellow ESC committee members under Deputy Paul Montague’s ‘excellent leadership’ on what she said was ‘one of our most critically important committees’.
Deputy Ozanne hoped that her successor could be elected as soon as possible and this sentiment was echoed by Deputy Montague who said he hoped to find a replacement either at the meeting at the end of this month or at the December meeting.
Deputy Ozanne intends to keep her role as vice-president of Employment & Social Security as well as a member of the Transport Licensing Authority.
‘I was sorry to learn of Jayne’s decision because she has been a valued member of our committee and we will miss her contribution,’ said Deputy Montague.
‘However, I fully understand her reasons given her personal circumstances.
‘I want to publicly thank Jayne for her efforts while on the committee and wish her well.’
He said ESC would discuss the vacancy with members before nominating its preferred candidate.
