Mr Tyndall approves of his offices manipulation of evidence
and false claims that put Tallaght Hospital in the clear:
# Mr Tyndall accepts Tallaght Hospital's claim that Dr Noel, who had already certified that no bookings had been made for my treatment, wrote to my G.P. about me missing appointments for those bookings for treatment - of course no letter existed at the time.
A
very serious matter came before the Information Commissioner - Did Tallaght
Hospital's Dr J. Noel write a letter to my G.P. between April and Sept 2010
regarding appointments Tallaght Hospital claimed I missed?
This
was very important as I never missed any appointments and Tallaght Hospital was
trying to pass the blame on to me for the lack of treatment [at present I'm
crippled and need a crutch and leg brace to get out].
The
matter I wanted addressed and rectified by Mr Tyndall was a false claim made by
a senior member of his staff that I lodged no relevant evidence regarding my
claim that the hospital was attempting to pass the blame on to me for the lack
of treatment and no such letter, as claimed by the hospital, existed. Mr
Tyndall 'noted' my allegations without denial, but declined to address them.
The
Information Commissioners decision was to side with the hospital and accept
their claim and also to make the false claim regarding me.
Amongst
the evidence I had put before the Information Commissioner was:-
[1]
That on 31/5/11 Dr Noel had made a statement to the Medical Council [for a
statutory investigation] that although he had requested over a year before, on
1/4/10, that the hospital make bookings for my treatment, no bookings had ever
been made [and obviously I was never given any appointments]. I actually quoted
from Dr Noel's statement.
[2]
That late in 2010 the hospital had confirmed that I'd never failed to attend any
appointments.
[3]
That my G.P. had never received any letter from Dr Noel regarding appointments
I'd missed. I gave the Information Commissioner permission to contact my G.P.
to confirm this but he declined.
[4]
That on 6/6/12 Tallaght Hospital's Deputy CEO, Mr J. O'Connell, had written to
me stating that no such letter existed and Dr Noel had no recollection of
writing such a letter.
A
major point was the hospital was now contradicting themselves, but that was of
no interest.
Mr
Tyndall refused to address my request of Dec 2013 regarding his staffs false
claims and what is obvious is that if he did, he would have to admit to the
evidence and that would completely undermine his backing of Tallaght Hospital.
So,
Mr Tyndall accepts/confirms that Dr Noel, who confirmed to the Medical Council
on 31/5/11 that as of that date I'd not received treatment because the hospital
had not made the bookings he had requested on 1/4/10, wrote to my G.P.
regarding me not turning up for the bookings that were never made and Mr
Tyndall is happy with his staffs false claim that I never brought Dr Noel's
statement etc to their attention.
Seemingly
this office disregards evidence that will not fit the decision they wish to
make - even to the extent of denying receiving evidence they acknowledged
receiving.
One
question must be asked - what exactly is the agenda of the Offices that Mr
Tyndall holds [Information Commissioner and Ombudsman] because he claims that
he reviews decisions in a fair and independent way - that is not what the above
shows.
Even
though I'm now well into my 5th year of hell, left crippled with seriously
impaired mobility, all efforts are seemingly channelled into covering up
negligence, indifference etc that has left my health destroyed.
