Jayne Ozanne

Jayne Ozanne stood on a platform centred on housing accessibility, workforce stability, and fairer public services. A recurring theme across her pledges was the need for practical, partnership-driven solutions to Guernsey's structural challenges, with particular emphasis on protecting vulnerable islanders while pursuing sustainable economic growth.

Among her most significant specific pledges, Ozanne proposed a Savings Deposit Property Scheme allowing first-time buyers to draw on ten years of secondary pension contributions — matched by their employer — to fund a house deposit. She also committed to pushing the States to work creatively with landowners and developers to increase housing supply and make better use of existing stock, alongside finding tailored solutions for older islanders wishing to downsize.

On public services, she pledged to introduce a Key Worker Retention Plan to improve consistency across essential services, with particular focus on teachers. She also proposed introducing means-testing to ensure fair access to health and social care, and committed to pursuing a tax system that removes what she described as unfair tax caps while providing targeted cost-of-living support to those most in need. Rebuilding public trust through improved political accountability and communication featured as an overarching commitment throughout her campaign.

    Searches found no 2025–26 States policy, debate or programme aimed at new sustainable or innovative forms of housing, and none linked to Jayne Ozanne. The Committee for Housing's Work Plan and Outline Housing Delivery Plan (31 July 2026) and its 21 October 2026 Guernsey Press coverage focus on conventional affordable and social housing delivery. The only modular and modern-methods-of-construction investigation found was an Environment & Infrastructure Committee initiative from the previous States term (about 2024).

    Since taking office in July 2025, Deputy Ozanne was appointed Vice-President of the Committee for Employment & Social Security, which brought forward multiple pieces of legislation relevant to vulnerable people — including The Severe Disability and Carer's Allowance, 2025 (P.2025/128), The Long-term Care Insurance Ordinance (P.2025/129), the Income Support Amendment Ordinance (P.2025/130), and the Family Allowance Ordinance, 2025 (P.2025/131). She also tabled a written question on 'Safeguarding Roles' to the Committee for Health & Social Care (Q.2026-3) on 7 January 2026, and submitted budget amendments intended to ease cost-of-living pressures on less affluent islanders. However, no standalone personal legislative proposition specifically framed as providing 'adequate safeguards and support for the most vulnerable' has been identified; her contributions to date have been through her committee VP role and individual budget amendments rather than a distinct self-initiated legislative proposal.

    No evidence was found of any formal States proposition, committee policy letter, consultation, or scheduled debate specifically addressing a revisit of the Partnership of Purpose Plan with means-testing for healthcare access. Deputy Ozanne, serving as Vice-President of the Committee for Employment & Social Security since July 2025, has voiced general support for means-testing principles in unrelated States debates (e.g. the July 2026 child tax allowance debate), but no action traceable to her specific manifesto promise on the Partnership of Purpose has been recorded. The HSC's 'fundamental review' of healthcare launched in 2025-26 focused on primary care structures, the hospital modernisation programme, and the Electronic Patient Records system, not on revisiting the Partnership of Purpose's funding model or introducing means-testing.

    As of September 2026, no policy letter, States proposition, consultation, or official announcement specifically introducing means-testing for health and social care services was found in Guernsey parliamentary records or independent reporting. Deputy Ozanne, serving as Vice-President of the Committee for Employment and Social Security since July 2025, publicly endorsed the principle of means-testing during the July 2026 tax debate (Guernsey Press, 17 July 2026), but only in relation to a child tax allowance amendment, not to health and social care access. The ESS committee's legislative output (parliament.gg) covers long-term care insurance uprating, minimum wage, and discrimination law, with no traceable means-testing proposal for health or social care services.

    Deputy Ozanne was elected in June 2025 and took up the role of Vice-President of the Committee for Employment & Social Security in July 2025, a committee whose mandate covers long-term care benefit and workforce policy rather than direct regulation of care standards. No evidence was found of any States proposition, policy letter, consultation, or named programme initiated by or directly attributable to Deputy Ozanne specifically addressing social care standards or growing the supply of care providers. The broader social care landscape — including a pre-existing long-term care policy letter (December 2024, under the previous term) and the HSC's ongoing Partnership of Purpose transformation — predates her election and was not driven by her. Parliamentary records show her activity focused on budget amendments and ESC committee business, with no specific output traceable to the social care standards/care provider supply promise.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Main tax reform proposition, which restructures taxes and includes the cost-of-living relief package and income tax and social security changes; voting Pour advances the reformed system with its targeted support.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise supports removing unfair tax caps and targeted support to mitigate cost-of-living impacts, but the motion is a specific, complex GST implementation package, and a deputy could reasonably vote against it while still pursuing the general promise — for instance, by opposing GST altogether or preferring a different reform mechanism.

    Deputy Ozanne took office in July 2025 as Vice-President of the Committee for Employment & Social Security, a committee whose mandate centres on social security, benefits and labour market policy rather than economic development or leveraging Guernsey's financial and physical strengths. Her recorded parliamentary activity through to mid-2026 (parliament.gg) focused on health and safety, tax reform sursis, budget amendments and safeguarding — none of which directly correspond to the broad economic-growth promise. While the States as a whole agreed a 2026–2029 Government Work Plan in January 2026 and the Committee for Economic Development published a 2026–2029 workplan targeting growth, no evidence was found linking Ozanne personally to those initiatives or to any specific action she led on leveraging Guernsey's unique strengths for economic growth.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictUnverifiablelow confidence

    No independent reporting or official States records surfaced any specific initiative, consultation, or programme led or co-led by Deputy Ozanne that directly enacted her manifesto promise to work proactively in partnership with the private and third sectors to deliver public goals. Deputy Ozanne's recorded parliamentary activity from July 2025 to September 2026 centred on her Vice-Presidency of the Committee for Employment & Social Security, her brief membership of the ESC (from which she resigned in November 2025 for personal reasons), and amendments on budget and employment matters; none of these were specifically framed around cross-sector partnership delivery. While her manifesto and a secondary encyclopaedic summary reference 'partnerships with private and third sectors' as a stated priority, no authoritative Guernsey source (gov.gg, parliament.gg, Guernsey Press, Bailiwick Express) corroborated any concrete cross-sector partnership activity attributable to her.

A record of what this deputy proposed, not of how they voted. It does not feed the kept-rate: an amendment the Assembly never reaches never produces a vote on its substance.

Guernsey stopped requiring committees to compile and publish member attendance in 2022, reasoning that electronic voting already showed who was present for each vote. These figures are not a published States dataset. Most are attendance records the Guernsey Press obtained from the States on request and published in full; Development & Planning Authority figures were compiled from the Authority’s own minutes at our request, Scrutiny Management Committee figures were supplied by its Clerk, and the Offshore Wind Delivery Board supplied its own record. See References for every source.
