24^th March 2014 [Blog No. 48]

Hello again, it’s me, Peggy

I met with the Rt. Hon Sir Kevin Barron MP on Saturday last (22/3/2014) and he confirmed that he considered he had already given PHSO Dame Julie Mellor sufficient time to respond and that he would be chasing her up for her response and comments.

See copy of my letter dated 22^nd March 2014 to Mr Barron MP copied below:-

Please find below a copy of the sound recording made on 15/5/2009 at the consultation with Mr Paul Cooke (Orthopaedic Surgeon) at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford. Albeit you will no doubt find it self-explicit I feel I should make further comments here.

Again I wish to apologize for the poor quality reproduced sound recording. I’m just not there yet so you will have to bear with me a while longer.

The referral to Mr Cooke was via Dr Say at the KPPCC and he was fully aware that the referral to Mr Cooke was to be made under the NHS. However, Dr Say made an appointment for me to see Mr Cooke on a Private paying basis, which delayed the appointment by it having to be re-made. I allege that this was a willful act on Dr Say’s part.

I will not reiterate here everything Mr Cooke said in his referral letter to Mr Blundell at the Sheffield Northern General because his letter can be found in my 1^st December 2013 Blog, (Blog No. 41) I did note, and you will also see that Mr Cooke advises Mr Blundell that I had been referred to him by the Health Service Ombudsman. Mr Blundell refused me the NHS referral from Mr Cooke. I did, however, eventually get to see Mr Blundell after a fresh referral (approximately a year later) from my new GP. That appointment did not materialize in Mr Blundell offering me any treatment.

Dr Say himself had to refer me to the SNGH for the recommended scans because Mr Blundell had refused the NHS referral from Paul Cooke. Where is the Hippocratic Oath in all of this???  I did manage to obtain an appointment with the Orthotics Department at the SNGH via my then GP, who did make me two sets of inner soles and who referred me back to my then new GP because they were making my foot worse. Since then I have received no further treatment for my Right foot.

14^th March 2014 [Blog No. 47]

Hello again, it’s me, Peggy

I met with the Rt. Hon Sir Kevin Barron MP on Saturday last (8/3/2014) and he confirmed that he had received a written response from Dr Daniel Poulter MP (the Parliamentary Undersecretary of State for Health) but he went onto say that it was still in his file down at his London Office.

When my husband put it to Mr Barron that we were not expecting anything in our favour due to the way Dr Poulter had reacted during the Debate and because all he had done on 6/2/2014 was exactly the same as the medics, he covered the backs of the medics in my case by trying to discredit me. Mr Barron did say; “well he ought to know because he’s a (B***dy) doctor”.

I have now (yesterday 13/3/2014) just received a copy of Dr Poulter’s letter dated 17/2/2014 from Mr Barron MP, and I have learned from past experience to firstly look at the penultimate paragraph to see if it says; “I know you will be disappointed ….” And of course it does. My husband was right in what he said to Mr Barron last Saturday because all Dr Poulter has done in his written response to Mr Barron is to reiterate certain damming aspects of what he had said during the debate. I am, however, pleased to see that Dr Poulter has copied his letter to Mr Barron onto Dame Julie Mellor, the Health Service Ombudsman.

I am now waiting to see what Dame Julie Mellor has to say about the matter because Dr Poulter did not address the issues of the Health Service Ombudsman changing the complaint number half way through the complaint, nor the matter of the breach of confidentially by Mr Lee Hedges (PHSO’s Office) phoning and speaking to the KPPCC in September 2012 without him first obtaining my consent for him to so do!

Furthermore, the PHSO had asked me (Via Mr Barron MP) how much I wanted to settle the case which proves that the PHSO admitted there was a case for the KPPCC to settle financially. Mr Barron, however, had agreed that I was not in a position (as a layperson) to set quantum, it was up to the PHSO. Mr Barron MP also said what the PHSO was doing here was a “Trick”.

See copy of Dr Poulter’s letter dated 17^th February 2014 copied below:-

I am gearing-up for putting more sound recordings on my next blog.

2^nd March 2014 [Blog No. 46]

Hello again, it’s me, Peggy

I have notice that the link has now been lost to the House of Commons NHS Treatment Debate on 6/2/2014, in my blog No. 44 dated 9/2/2014. It was a link to BBC iPlayer which I now understand expires after about 7-days.

However, I have made an attempt to copy the recording and I am inserting it here in four parts. Sorry for the lack of high quality sound and vision lost in the copying but before I transferred the video onto my blog is was fully understandable.

I am still awaiting the written response from Dr Daniel Poulter MP (the Parliamentary Undersecretary of State for Health) via Sir Kevin J Barron MP.
