24th 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 22nd 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 1st 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.

This true story continues …….
