A corrupt Data Protection
Commissioner in Tallaght Hospital's pocket.
Breaks the law and actively aids Tallaght Hospital's
criminal negligence in leaving me crippled for life, virtually housebound and
in constant pain.
The first formal complaint I lodged with the Data Protection
Commissioner against Tallaght Hospital was for passing to third parties,
against my wishes and without my permission, my confidential file of over 200
records - included my G.P.'s confidential correspondence and confidential
details regarding my next of kin, again without the legally required
permission.
[The hospital's illegal actions were on the express personal
orders of their CEO Ms E. Hardiman]
My complaint was refused and according to the Commissioner
Tallaght Hospital had done no wrong and had not breached the Data Protection
Act.
My second formal complaint I lodged with the Data Protection
Commissioner against Tallaght Hospital was for passing my medical records to
third parties, without my permission and against my wishes.
[The hospital's illegal actions were on the express personal
orders of their CEO Ms E. Hardiman]
I said "Matters are made much more serious as certain
medical records are proven, by other hospital records etc, to be falsified and
I'm left crippled." and referring to my first complaint I said "You
refused my complaint on the grounds what I complained about would not be a
breach of the Data Protection Acts"
My second complaint was refused by default as it was ignored
despite my numerous chasers which were acknowledged.
Everyone knows how confidential medical records are and that
they cannot be released without the patients express consent.
Again the Commissioner breaks the law to cover-up for
Tallaght Hospital, Ms Hardiman and Dr Noel - especially to ensure no public
questions would be asked regarding the proven falsification of the medical
records by Dr Noel.
Proof of the Data Protection Commissioner's wrong doing:
Two contradictory
statutory rulings to cover-up for Tallaght Hospital:
My complaint is dismissed on the grounds that Tallaght
Hospital's conduct did not
constitute a data breach while the hospital is 'privately' informed that their
conduct did constitute a data
breach.
Internal records I obtained show that during the period
between my two complaints the Data Protection Commissioner had 'private'
conversations with Tallaght Hospital and these indicate not only that the
hospital were told by the Data Protection Commissioner that they had breached
the Data Protection Act by releasing my documents but that the hospital already
knew they had breached the act. There was even talk of 'wilful breach of the
act'.
Very significant is that it's shown that the hospital looked
upon these matters as of low importance.
Clearly the hospital knew they would be protected by a
corrupt Data Protection Commissioner - well the Commissioner knew I was left
crippled for life but her only concern was to deny me my Rights and protect the
people who left me crippled.
Being virtually housebound and in constant pain I wrote to
Ms Dixon one last time basically asking her to do the job she's paid to do and
said "Tallaght Hospital and your actions set a very serious precedent
regarding patient confidentiality in general and medical records in particular
and also the Right to Privacy."
Ms Dixon completely ignored me and given the documentary
evidence, the ignored opportunities to rectify, the blatant violations of the
Data Protection Acts, one must ask, what incentives had Ms H. Dixon?
Serious offences against public interest by the Data
Protection Commissioner:
While everyone else in Ireland has the Right to doctor/patient
confidenality the Commissioner rules that I don't have that Right and the only
possible outcome of that is to protect Ms Hardiman and Tallaght Hospital from
criminal sanctions and also aid their cover-up of criminal negligence in
leaving me crippled for life. One must ask what perverted sick mentality is at
work here.
In fact and given the overall situation, it's reasonable to
say that the Commissioner has committed criminal offences - after all, the Commissioner
told me that no breaches had been committed while telling the hospital that
they had committed breaches.
Although they had refused my complaints illegally they did
indicate on just one occasion [through their senior compliance officer Mr Alan
O'Grady] that they were willing to discuss matters - but only verbally and
without withdrawing their perverse decision.
# Of note is that
this type of corrupt conduct to protect the people who have left me cripple is
not unusual.
The Medical Council broke the law etc in order to dismiss my
complaint - after a long arduous fight, during which their solicitor wrote to
me denying any improprieties, 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 the allegation they had claimed I had, 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.

Dixon the Data Protection Commissioner with the link to this article in order
to ensure that she has the opportunity to respond.
