Welcome!

Hi there and thanks for visiting my website. I’m Heidi Soulsby and am a People's Deputy. I was first elected to the States of Deliberation in May 2012 and during my first term I served as Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, Deputy Minister of the Health and Services Department and Member of the Scrutiny Committee, Constitutional Investigation Committee and Commerce and Employment Department. In May 2016 I was elected as President of the Committee for Health and Social Care, under the new machinery of government. In the 2020 General Election, the first under the Island Wide Voting system, I came 2nd. I was elected the first female Deputy Chief Minister and held that post until November 2022 until I resigned. I am currently Vice Chair of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Guernsey Branch Executive Committee and a Governor of the Board of The Ladies’ College.

My blog

I have built up this website since 2012 and it now contains articles on a whole range of matters of public interest. Most of the posts are taken from speeches I have made in the States of Deliberation, although not all. I have not missed a single day of a States meeting since I was elected.
