22 September 2013 [Blog No. 34]

Hello again, it’s me, Peggy

I’m still going on here in my blog today about the Heath Service Ombudsman trying to get away from Mr Barron MP’s request for clear answers to his letters to them regarding my complaint. You can see from the copy of Mr Barron’s letter dated 24 June 2013 as copied below that they are clearly stone-walling him, and still are to this very day because he is still waiting for a response to his letter dated 22^nd August, as mentioned in my previous blog. Mr Barron does state in his letter copied below that, and I quote; “………. and both she and I are unhappy with your current stance which we believe is preventing her from receiving justice”.

We appear to be just going around in circles, albeit Mr Barron MP did make a comment to me about the contents of one of the Ombudsman’s letters being a trick. On another occasion Mr Barron told me that he believed the Ombudsman's office had got their backs up against the wall by the way its been handled over the past two years.  They also give one case two case reference numbers, and I allege that by them doing this it’s just another trick in which to allow them separate vital evidence from their investigations.

In any event why should the Health Service Ombudsman want to stoop so low as to want to trick people, especially when Health Service Ombudsman Dame Julie Mellor preaches in the Daily Telegraph about them now having transparency in their dealings and it being the way forward? What a hypocrite?  

My husband had cause to complain himself to the Health Service Ombudsman again quite recently, about the extremely poor treatment that he has received at the hands of the Rotherham DGH NHS Trust.

The Health Service Ombudsman declined to Review his case brought against the RDGH NHS Trust regarding him being prescribed Lipitor when the consultant had been clearly advised by me (in a sound recorded consultation) that he was intolerant to Statins, and that Statins made him very ill.

After him taking Lipitor for 3-weeks his GP at the Kiveton Park Primary Care Centre advised him, due to him being very ill, to stop taking the Lipitor and he was subsequently diagnosed by a GP at the same practice as having suffered a stroke. However, this also shows how we've been maltreated by medics because the GP failed to send for a blue-light response. He stopped him driving forthwith and just made routine appointments for him to have blood tests done at the Practice (two days hence) and made a routine appointment for him to have a CT Scan done at the RDGH which did not take place until days after the event. When Mr Barron MP saw my husband a couple of days or so after him seeing the GP, Mr Barron thought he was dying because he looked so ill.

A further complaint was also not upheld by the Ombudsman where he had complained about him discovering in his medical records, held at the RDGH, where a consultant had referred to him as; “Fortunately this man is still around to tell the tale”. And, the consultant had further referred to my husband in the same letter as “it” by saying; “it is still fit enough for repair”.

The Ombudsman had asked him to wait while his further two complaints had progressed through the RDGH complaints procedure, which he did. The Ombudsman then sent him two separate Complaint Forms to fill in due to, they said, it being about two separate issues. He completed two separate forms as requested which had the same Case Reference number written on them by the Ombudsman’s Office. He marked the Forms as Part 1 and Part 2 of the same complaint. By the two complaints being linked together it showed that the RDGH were discriminating against him treatment wise, for him daring to complain.

He’s just received two separate letters back from the Ombudsman’s Office advising him that they are now treating his complaint as two separate complaints and they have given them two separate case reference numbers. The case numbers (as you can see from the letters copied here) are polls apart and show clearly that the Health Service Ombudsman is currently receiving thousands of complaints from the public. It shows there are 2,590 cases just between my husband’s two case numbers alone. Apart from that, can you imagine the extra costs of the silly beggars investigating the two complain separately. That alone tells me it’s a scam?

I’d have cause to lodge a formal complaint in year 2001 against Dr Tooth, at what was then called the Kiveton Park Medical Practice. You can see for yourself from their letter of response dated July 24^th 2001 (copied below) that all four GPs (Dr D Say, Dr J Reid, Dr N Thorman and Dr H Speight) had signed off the letter and in paragraph four they said, and I quote; “A final concern to us is how you intend to receive GP services hereafter”.

You will recall from a previous blog that when accessing my medical records at that GP Practice in 2002 I discovered “Litigation Issues” and reference to “Court Case” reported in my notes and in letters of referral to Consultants, and this been the reason for my not being able to obtain proper corrective treatment from our NHS for my on-going knee and foot problems. Even after the ICO’s intervention in 2002/03 the KPPCC had failed to remove the offensive and unwarranted wording from my medical records held at their group practice. This matter was not addressed by the Kiveton Park Primary Care Centre (KPPCC) until around April 2011 after further intervention by the Chief Executive (Andy Buck) at Rotherham Primary Care Trust.

In a review of my medication one GP at the KPPCC had said he intended reducing the dose of one of my prescribed medication from 40mgs to 20mgs. However, after I obtained the new prescription from the chemist I fortunately noticed that he had actually increased the intended dose of 20mgs by 4x the amount, to 80mgs. Was he trying to kill me by any chance???

I allege that what they have done, however, is for the aforementioned signatories of the GP letter of 24 July 2001 is to kill any chance of my obtaining proper corrective treatment for my Right foot problem, even to this very day!!

My husband and I had had concerns about Dr Tooth when at one point in a consultation I’d asked him, at a time when I was seeking treatment from him, where the Hippocratic Oath was in all of this, and he retorted with; “Oh that, that was something dreamed-up in the jungle and we don’t go by that anymore”. What more can I say, I think that sums it if beautifully??

Both the GMC and the Health Service Ombudsman have failed to uphold any complaints put to them, and by them so-doing I allege that they have aided and abetted the medics in their adverse/non-treatment of me.

See copy of my letter dated 16^th August 2001 to Mr Barron MP where I put my concerns to him about the attitude of the aforesaid doctors at the KPPCC.
