23^rd February 2014 [Blog No. 45]

Hello again, it’s me, Peggy

Unfortunately, I was unable to meet with the Rt. Hon Sir Kevin J Barron MP on Saturday 22/2/2014 but I do intend seeing him at his next Constituency Surgery on 8^th March 2014 when I intend to discuss whether-or-not Dr Poulter MP (Minister for Health) has responded to him by letter, regarding the debate in the House of Commons on 6/2/2014 about my treatment and the PHSO as mentioned in my last blog.

As I have said in an earlier blog, I intend putting extracts of sound recordings made at consultations with medics, medical experts and solicitors alike so you can actually hear what they have had to say about my treatment and clinical negligence claim over the years.

You will have to bear with me on this because inserting sound recording extracts into my blog is a completely new experience to me, and it might take me a while to get them inserted correctly. However, here goes………………

The first recording was taken from the consultation with Consultant Mr Giles (Fracture Clinic) on 11 December 2008 at the Rotherham District General Hospital (RDGH). I had been referred to Mr Giles by Dr Say at the Kiveton Park Primary Care Centre for the ongoing problem with my Right foot.

You can hear for yourselves how Mr Giles wanted to amputate my Right foot, by amputating it just below my knee. I consider this to have been a matter of; “if you come back to me I will take your leg off”.

Now, what he did not advise me of at this time was that the thinning of the bones in my Right foot is actually due now to osteoporosis in my right foot due to the botched Guanethidine Pain Block, and to think, these are the people we are supposed to trust with our health and well-being!

The next sound recording that I am inserting here is an extract taken from the consultation at the RDGH Fracture Clinic a few days later (15/12/2008) where I met a consultant who advised me that he was very experienced in the administration of Guanethidine Pain Block injections. You can hear him advising me that if the injection missed the vein (as it had done in my case in November 1993) then I did have a problem.

In a later blog I will be inserting the sound recording made of the consultation on 15/5/2009 with Mr Paul Cooke in Oxford where and when he advised me that he totally disagreed with Mr Giles amputating my Right foot in any event, and that my problem was due to the Guanethidine Pain-Block injection some 15-years earlier and which should been treated back then.

9^th February 2014 [Blog No. 44]

Hello again, it’s me, Peggy

I met with the Rt. Hon Sir Kevin J Barron MP on Saturday (8/2/2014) after him bringing my complaint against the PHSO up in the House of Commons on 6/2/2014. See copy of my letter below.

I have responded by email to Dr Daniel Poulter, commenting on his Webpage link relating to the transcript of the House of Commons debate on 6/2/2014 on Mrs M Barnes Treatment by the NHS. See copy of my email copied below.

Dear Dr Poulter

I wish to take this opportunity here to respond to your Webpage. Dr Dan's work in Parliament MRS M. Barnes (NHS Treatment) (6 Feb 2014)

Firstly, Dr Poulter, I would like say how skilfully you put-over the hatchet job done on my PHSO complaint by the civil servants who drafted your speech. However, I use the term “skilfully” loosely because your civil servants simply tried to discredit me personally, as opposed to them and you considering the single issue put to the PHSO by The Rt. Hon Sir Kevin J Barron MP. That was the issue of the Kiveton Primary Care Centre (KPPCC) not amending my medical records in 2002, in accordance with the advice they received from the Information Commissioner at that time.

I had, since having a botched operation on my Right knee in 1987, tried to obtain proper corrective treatment from several medical professionals, via my GP. However, when I reviewed my medical records it was discovered that my records contained reference to litigation issues, and the same reference had been made in letters of referral from my GP to other Healthcare Providers since 1990 and the reason for me not being able to obtain the required treatment. I had referred this data issue to the Information Commissioner (ICO) in September 2002, and my complaint was upheld.

It was noted in your speech that during your berating and while trying to discredit me, you yourself made reference to previous litigation having taken place over the years, just the same as the KPPCC and earlier GPs had done in letters of referral since 1990.

You also referred to Judge Simon throwing out my Clinical Negligence case (a totally different matter) but what you failed to mention in any event was the matter of HHJ Moore (in 5^th September 2005, at an earlier Hearing) and him having directed Browne Jacobson Solicitors (in Court) that the Defendant Trust had a case to answer and to get the case settled. The judge instructed the Court Clerk to pass back to us (including Browne Jacobson solicitors) all the court case files, which he did (including those filed into court) albeit we thought HHJ Moore’s actions in doing that to be highly irregular. HHJ Moore further directed me to listen to my husband and not to be too picky and wanting every penny. This fact is actually written in HHJ Moore’s transcript of the Court Hearing for 5/9/2005.

I know it’s getting away from the single PHSO issue but it has to be said that a Part 36 offer to settle the clinical negligence claim was drawn-up by me with the aid of Mr Barron MP, and then served on the Defendant’s solicitors. The offer to settle was disregarded/ignored by Browne Jacobson solicitors (contrary to HHJ Moore’s Directions on 5/9/2005) and the case, therefore, had to be returned to court.

I discovered in early 2011, that my medical records had been returned back to the KPPCC via the South Riding Health Services Support Agency (SRHSSA).

I reiterate here, the issue of the KPPCC not amending my medical records back in 2002 was the single issue as put to the PHSO by Mr Barron MP in September 2011, together with several documents dating back 20-odd years, and some more recent, as supporting evidence showing how the offending data had been discriminatory against me and used to block me from obtaining proper treatment for my knee, and subsequently, my ongoing Right foot problem.

The complaint against the KPPCC was given PHSO Ref No. EN-118242. I mention this here because it has been confirmed by the PHSO (in a sound recorded telephone conversation) that the same reference number followed the case through to the end, and yet the PHSO in December 2012, for some reason, one better known to them, changed the case reference number to EN-148574.

Mr Barron MP, as he said in the House on 6/2/2014, had received a letter dated 10 March 2012 from Chief Executive (NHS Rotherham) confirming my medical records had been retrieved from the SRHSSA by the KPPCC for amendment in order for them to comply with the ICO’s advice (which they had received in year 2002). Mr Buck confirmed in his letter that amending my medical records had taken the KPPCC several weeks (around 6-weeks) because implementing the Commissioner’s advice was onerous.

You, Dr Poulter, go on in furthering your attempts to discredit me by accusing me of theft and/or obtaining my medical records by other criminal means, and I quote from your Webpage; “My hon. Friend will be aware that patients have open access to their records and can request to see them, but it is not for a patient forcibly to remove relevant clinical information from them”.

All the data evidence, including x-rays, scans and reports that I have obtained from the medical professionals has been done via legitimate legal means at all times.  

Mind you, I bet you cannot believe how I have managed to come by such comprehensive and damming data in my medical records and/or x-rays/reports. However, I can assure you the aforementioned medical records were obtained via legitimate legal means at all times.

I decided to go public on this matter because I felt I had nothing further to lose due to the wilful negligence by the KPPCC and those that went before them since 1990 having caused me unrecoverable damage to my quality of life by referring to past litigation issues in letters of referral.

I understand, Dr Poulter, you intend writing to Mr Barron MP since him clarifying various issues with you after the House adjourned on 6/2/2014.
