I think CT's problem is that he is very intelligent and has to dumb everything down for his fellow MHK's to understand. I like him and appreciate that he is in the job to help us and IOM plc in general, as he could earn much more for less bitching anywhere else.

I reckon this gives an annualised average cost per employee for 2016 of £39,041 and for 2018 of £42,344. An 8.5% increase over two years. Did the job though, of exposing the rise in headcount & cost despite repeated misleading spin implying PS/CS contraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Chris Thomas has had his brain and other internal organs removed and has now been stuffed with straw. Plus his hands and feet have holes in them to attach Quayle's puppet strings. Never thought I'd hear myself say that. But that's a sad demonstrable fact now. Shame on him. Shame for us.

gettafa Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think Howard is still reeling from becoming Chief Minister and all the people who are licking up to him. Prior to this the only people he was teamed up with was likes of Quirky for the toilet tax. And he got to employ Mr Charters These days he also gets to see the big boys of Westminster, lots and lots, you know, the ones you see on the telly and that.

hissingsid Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Until the figures are broken down showing each departments headcount and figures this does not really mean a lot. By departments I mean police, fire, hospital, civil servants in government departments etc it does not show where increases have been made in numbers and costs. It would be a tremendous task and probably cost loads. I still think if the Health Service was not so unwieldy it would be easier to see just where the money is being spent and make sure the money was spent on front line services.
