20^th April 2015 [Blog No. 64]

Hello again, it’s me, Peggy

As you can see from the copy letter dated 10^th March 2015 and copied below; Sir Kevin Barron MP received a letter of response dated 5^th March (also copied below) from our GP Practice Service Manager explaining that the referral to Leeds had been made in a timely fashion, that being 27^th October 2014. She also explained that the waiting time for a patient to see Mr Monkhouse is a least four months. I’ve allegedly been referred to Leeds Hospital since 27^th October 2014 and I still have not received any appointment date, and in a week’s time that will be 6-months ago.

I noted that back in October, on the day that the Leeds Training Hospital allegedly received the referral, I had a hit on my Blog by the Leeds Training Hospital.

However, due to the aforementioned hit by the Leeds Hospital I decided to write to the GP Practice in a fax on 7/4/2015 seeking a copy of the letter of referral as made to Leeds Hospital in October 2014, and strangely, in a letter from Leeds Hospital dated 8/4/2015 they wrote to me (duplicating their letter) asking me if I still wanted an appointment with Mr Monkhouse? And, I don’t know about you but I do not believe in coincidences?

My husband telephoned the hospital to enquire what the waiting time would be from the time of the GP referral for a patient to actually see Mr Monkhouse, and in the sound recorded conversation that ensued my husband was told that on receipt of the referral if Mr Monkhouse considered it to be urgent it would be 6-8 weeks but if he thought it was just routine it could be anything up to 18-weeks. Now; I’ve been waiting 25-weeks to-date without yet seeing Mr Monkhouse, so what does that tell you? I reckon I am still being discriminated against by the medics and the only reason they’ve contacted me now is because the Group Practice has been onto them again.

To save repeating myself see copied below my letter dated 14^th March 2015 to Sir Kevin Barron (The Labour Candidate for Rother-Valley) in my attempt in obtaining treatment from our NHS.

I will now update you on what has happened since 19^th March 2015 with the Health Service Ombudsman issue, and the now Sir Kevin Barron (The Labour Candidate for Rother-Valley). See copied below a copy of the email and attachment as received on 19/3/2015 from Sheena at Mr Barron’s Constituency Office and my letters of response to Mr Barron dated 28 and 30 March 2015.

It‘s been my observation from communications received from the Health Service Ombudsman’s Office that they connive in any way possible even to the point of corruption, to misconstrue your complaint thereby limiting the scope of their investigations to allow them throw-out your complaint. Then when you complain against them they say they have done nothing wrong which allows them continue with the back covering culture. Mr Barron and Dame Julie Mellor seem to me to have turned out to be no different because all Mr Barron has done since November 1998 is to pay me lip service and clap me through!!! No change there then.

However, it is currently a crucial time for MPs and it is feasible that Mr Barron might well cease to be my Local MP after May 7^th. And, in a sound recording conversation Mr Barron did comment that he understood Dame Julie Mellor was losing her sight. Whilst I was sorry to hear that maybe that is the reason for her not being able to see the wood for the trees, by letting the medics and her staff shaft complainants!!!

 

This true story continues. I am not going away because the back covering culture by our NHS, Solicitors, MPs and Ombudsman’s Office alike has to come to an end …….
