Tallaght Hospital CEO Mr Slevin's falsehood:

Senior HSE officials' statement proves Tallaght Hospital CEO Mr Slevin's falsehood:


During July '14 and as an excuse not to investigate my complaint that his hospitals Dr J. Noel had falsified my medical records Mr Slevin had said he was awaiting the outcome of the ongoing HSE review of my complaint.

During Aug '14 I challenging his refusal and asked for details telling him that I knew of no such 'review' - he ignored me.

During Sept '14 Ms D. Keyes, Regional Manager Consumer Affairs, HSE Dublin Mid-Leinster formally and officially confirmed to me that there is no and never was any such review.

What has become clear is a policy at Tallaght Hospital to falsify and fabricate whatever puts them in the clear and this goes right to the top, to the CEO.

While I'm left crippled Mr Slevin's priorities are clearly to cover-up for his hospital and indulge in falsehoods. This shows contempt for patients who obviously come a distant second in priorities.

Tallaght Hospital's 'policy' of altering records:

Tallaght Hospital CEO Mr D. Slevin approves the falsification of medical records:

On 21st July 2014 I lodged a formal complaint with Mr D. Slevin the CEO of Tallaght Hospital.

My complaint was that the hospital's Dr J. Noel had falsified my medical records and the proof I lodged was the two contradictory documents signed by Dr Noel.

The first was dated the day of my consultation and confirmed to my G.P. the truth which was, that he had offered me treatment ASAP depending on when a bed became available - which never came about.

The second was dated 7 weeks later, in which Dr Noel now falsely claimed that at the consultation he had offered me immediate treatment which I had refused.

The first placed to blame / onus on the hospital, the second passed the blame on to me - this is very important as I'm left crippled.

Of note is that the second document appeared out of thin air over a year after its claimed date of writing.

On 29th July 2014 Mr Slevin refused to accept my complaint.

On 11th Aug 2014 I wrote to Mr Slevin challenging his refusal but he ignored me. This proves complete indifference by Mr Slevin to record tampering by his hospital.

A very important point is that Tallaght Hospital has already committed offences by deliberately releasing, against my wishes, my 'medical records' to third parties.

This and the falsification were just part of a hospital cover-up approved at the highest level.

Despite this extremely serious misconduct and against my expressly written instructions, the hospital insisted that I attend during Aug 2014 and see Dr Noel. I made Mr Slevin aware of this without interest being taken.

I have given Mr Slevin the opportunity to respond.

Medical Council tampers with evidence:

Statutory investigation proves the Medical Councils falsifications:

In 2011 after the Medical Council dismissed my complaint against Tallaght Hospital's Dr J. Noel I discovered, through Freedom of Information that the Council had falsified my complaint.

They had described and recorded my complaint as an allegation I had not made, an allegation that was the exact opposite to what I had alleged.

From 2011 to 2014 and despite the documentary evidence the Council insisted that I had made this allegation and refused any rectification. Two of the senior staff members involved were the Councils solicitor Mr D. Coen and the Councils CEO Ms C. Spillane.

During 2014 and under the pressure of the Information Commissioners investigation the Council admitted that I had not made the allegation they had said I had, admitted that they had described and recorded my complaint incorrectly and admitted that they could not produce any documentation that even suggested I had made the allegation.

So it was now proven that the 'allegation' was a total fabrication by the Council.

I wrote to the Council's president Prof. F. Wood and asked for full rectification - he showed no interest but thanked me for writing.

Under an Order from the Information Commissioner the Council informed me that the reason they had dismissed my complaint in 2011 was that it [the fabricated allegation] did not give cause for action to be taken.

I then lodged a formal complaint with Prof. F. Wood especially citing the Information Commissioners investigation decision/report - his response is awaited.

# During this period I lodged a further complaint with the Council against Dr J. Noel regarding the falsification of medical records and backed my complaint with conclusive documentary proofs - the Council refused to accept my complaint.

While I'm left crippled the Medical Council will go to any lengths, legal or otherwise, to protect Dr J. Noel.

Given the Council's conduct over the years in perpetuating this falsehood and fabrication one has to ask - how many times has the Council indulged in this type of conduct? And given Prof. Wood's disinterest - how many more times?

I have offered Prof. F. Wood the opportunity to respond.

Minister Reilly untruthful in the Dail:

Minister Reilly refuses to protect vulnerable patients from abuse of their Rights:

After I had lodged a formal complaint with Minister Reilly and after he had investigated and after he had responded that he was completely satisfied with the Medical Council's conduct, Dail Questions were asked on my behalf, one of which was -

"Is the Minister aware of the misrepresentation of Mr Trent's case during a Medical Council investigation, the result of which the Minister stood over despite the documented evidence provided by the patient to the Council?"

The Minister responded by claiming that he was precluded by law from becoming involved or doing anything regarding the Medical Council. The Minister indicated that he had already responded to my complaint to him.

Clearly, and given his investigation of my formal complaint, his response that he is precluded is known to be incorrect.

Minister Reilly was fully aware that the law and relevant Act gave him full authority to intervene, hence his investigation.

No matter what, as the Minister for Health he would have a duty to ensure, on behalf of the people, that a statutory body acts in a legal manner when carrying out their duties and not break the law to protect a negligent doctor.

Dr Jacques Noel - lazy and negligent:

Dr Jacques Noel falsifies medical records to cover his laziness and negligence:

[1] I state that on 1/4/10 Dr Noel offered me treatment ASAP - facet joint injections ASAP depending on when a bed became available, followed by back rehab and I was to think about surgery at a later date if necessary.

Dr Noel confirmed what I state, twice, by his letter dated 1/4/10 to and as received by my G.P. - it was written immediately after and on the day as the consultation of 1/4/10.

[2] Over a year later Dr Noel produced what he claimed was his transcript of the medical records for the 1/4/10 consultation. This transcript was claimed to have been written on 19/5/10 a few weeks after said consultation. In this he contradicted his letter of 1/4/10 to my G.P. and claimed he had offered me admittance to hospital the following day [2/4/10] for facet joint injections but that I refused.

Of note is the fact that this transcript appeared for the first time 12 months after it was supposedly written and had and was never released under any of my Freedom of Information requests.

To bolster this falsehood and supported by it Dr Noel stated to third parties -

"Mr Trent was offered immediate treatment by admission the next day and diagnostic/therapeutic injections in theatre." "This was offered to Mr Trent and he did indeed decline this offer." Also Dr Noel stated that all this was clearly confirmed in his letter dated 1/4/10 to my G.P. - which, of course, it was not.

While Dr Noel's falsehoods would be clear to anyone with a grain of honesty and integrity, he was obviously banking on matters being dealt with and accepted on the basis of who he was rather than on what the documented facts were and that people would have as little honesty, ethics and integrity as he himself exhibits.

The falsification moved the blame for the lack of treatment from Dr Noel and Tallaght Hospital to me.

# the transcript was under the title:-

Mr Jacques Noel Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal & Paediatric Surgeon.

# was under three addresses;-

Suite 9, Sports Surgery Clinic, Santry, Demesne, Dublin 9.

Adelaide & Meath Incorporating National Children's Hospital, Tallaght, Dublin, 24.

Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, Dublin, 12.

# was signed:-

Dr Jacques Noel. M. Med. Sc, M.Sc, F.R.C.S.I. (Tr. & Orth.) (N.M.C.M: 14671).
