Now CEO of the Children’s Hospital
Group Ms Eilish Hardiman criminal abuse of authority:
# Ms
Hardiman was CEO of Tallaght Hospital, which through criminal negligence has
left me crippled for life, in constant pain, virtually housebound and robbed me
of my personal independence after being diagnosed with degenerative spinal
disease - she and her hospital have done everything to cover-up, including
falsification of records.
Due to my seriously degenerating mobility there is talk that
I should consider a wheelchair as an aid. This is totally unacceptable as it
would mean me losing my home.
What the Children’s Hospital Group has as their CEO in Ms Hardiman
is a person who is proven to be untrustworthy and without professional
integrity. A person who has no compunction in putting the patient a distant
second when it comes to protecting herself or hospital or staff and who is
willing to deliberately break the law and cover up criminal negligence. Who
will abuse her position and authority if it suits her and given her proven
record she brings the Children’s Hospital Group into disrepute.
Seemingly it's of no matter that the official records
support my claims, she will be protected and can rely on, successfully so far,
colleagues and authorities to cover-up for her, even when it's criminal -
meaning that those turning a blind eye are approving of such conduct and will
do so in the future.
It's not just discreditable people like Ms Hardiman who
destroy our health service and put patients in danger, but also the people /
establishments who cover-up for them and employ them.
Ms Hardiman's
personal and deliberate law breaking;
She abused her position and authority as CEO of Tallaght
Hospital to pass to third parties, against my wishes, my medical records and
other confidential sensitive documents and she knew what she was doing was
against the law.
As required by law Ms Hardiman twice personally requested I give my permission for my confidential file
to be released to third parties and twice I responded declining to give
permission - this proved she knew what was required by law.
[Ms Hardiman deliberately untruthful to senior staff
members:]
Although her two Email requests to me and my two Email responses
to her are on her file - an internal hospital document shows that Ms Hardiman
wrote to five senior staff members falsely telling them that I had never responded
to her requests.
However she deliberately broke the law committing offences
and released my file of over 200 records,
including falsifications, to third parties - her hospital declined to give me a
copy of this file but I obtained a copy elsewhere.
She deliberately abused her position to act illegally and in
such a manner that could only aid a cover-up for her hospital's criminal
negligence. What she did was criminal.
When I made a formal complaint about this illegal conduct
and breach of confidentiality Ms Hardiman personally
wrote to me refusing to accept my complaint indicating it was her right to
release every document the hospital held regarding me.
[Proving that she is so arrogant and lacking in integrity she
believes she is above the law - this is a serious problem for the Children’s
Hospital Group as she their CEO.]
In an effort to cover-up by passing the blame on to me this
file contained, amongst other things, falsified medical records [that
contradicted contemporary hospital records] and an internal hospital report,
created in 2012, claiming that I had been booked in for treatment in July 2010 but had failed to keep the
appointment.
This report was obviously fabricated to take the place of
the non-existent hospital letter to my G.P. - #3 below.
This report had never been released to me by the hospital
and I was obviously not meant to see this fabrication because it would cause
serious problems for Ms Hardiman as it contradicted all the other hospital
records and information I obtained.
The only way Ms Hardiman could issue this and other
fabrications was by deliberately and illegally releasing my confidential file
to third parties without giving me a copy.
The contradictions and the truth:
#1 An Oct 2010
hospital document stated that I'd never missed any appointments.
#2 In 2011 the
hospital's Dr Noel had confirmed in writing to third parties that the
bookings/appointments he had requested in 2010 for my treatment had never
been made by the hospital and I'd never had treatment.
#3 The hospital insisted
they had written to my GP referring to appointments I'd failed to attend - I'd never
failed to keep any appointments, my GP never received any such letter and
my requests for a copy of this letter were ignored.
In 2012 under Freedom of Information Ms Hardiman's deputy
CEO was forced to admit that such a letter did not exist.
If I had failed to attend appointments I would be completely
responsible for my current crippled state - so their motive is very clear, pass
the blame on to me by falsehoods.
There can be no excusing Ms Hardiman's illegal and possibly
criminal conduct and her proven irresponsible, unprofessional conduct and
willingness to abuse her position confirms her to be a person who should not
hold positions of responsibility or have access to sensitive records.
Also, records which I obtained show that her hospital knew for nearly a full year that I'd not
received what I'd been told was urgently required treatment and that the
bookings and appointments for said treatment had never been made by the
hospital.
To knowingly have her in a position of such great
responsibility as CEO of the Children’s Hospital Group is gross irresponsibility.
In fact her Tallaght Hospital was so bad it was publicly branded by a
coroner as a dangerous place, saying that it "sounds like a
very dangerous place to be for anybody, let alone a sick patient”.
When it came to saving her own neck, covering-up for her
hospital, covering-up for her staff etc - me, a pensioner and my life and
health was discounted and treated with indifference.
So the CEO of the Children’s Hospital Group has a proven track
record, that when it comes to her self-serving interests, the patients and the
public's interests go out the window - as does the law and honesty. Factually
she is devoid of ethics.
# As a
smoke-screen Ms Hardiman might point to the fact that that my complaint against
her Tallaght Hospital Dr J. Noel was dismissed by the Medical Council,
something I found impossible give the documentary evidence that proved he was
being untruthful.
Later from internal documents I discovered that the Medical
Council had mis-described my complaint by attributing an allegation to me which
I'd never made, but it effectively destroyed my complaint as such an allegation
was completely false thereby clearing Dr Noel.
After a long arduous fight, during which their solicitor wrote
to me insisting I'd made the allegation, a legally binding decision which only
the High Court could set aside [case 120243] was made by the Freedom of
Information Commissioner. In this the Medical Council were forced to
acknowledge that they had incorrectly described my complaint, that I'd never
made any such allegation, that evidence they had claimed they had to support
their claim did not exist. In fact they never had any reason to believe I had
made such an allegation.
I fail to see how the Group can have any credibility with
such a proven untrustworthy and dysfunctional person as Ms Hardiman as CEO -
who can believe or rely on anything she says?
