HSE CEO Paul Reid

 

HSE CEO Paul Reid turns a blind eye to proven serious misconduct by HSE staff:


Further proof that disabled pensioners with medical cards are of little or no consequence to HSE.


As I was experiencing further problems brought about by Tallaght Hospital's conduct and lack of care etc and because I have been totally housebound since 2017 my G.P. referred me for physiotherapy home care.

It was clear from the outset that the physios did not want the bother of home visits.


Physio #1:

Senior physio Ms V. Murray made two home visits during 2018 and then informed my G.P., in writing, that having discussed CRU [Community Reablement Unit] with me she had discharged me from her care.

I stated that Ms Murray's claims were false and the HSE investigation ruled, in writing, that [as I claimed] no such discussion had ever taken place.

However the HSE investigation dismissed my complaint and stated that I was to blame for Ms Murray's false claim of a discussion. That is, I was to blame for a discussion that only existed in Ms Murray's imagination.

Also the HSE declined to correct the false information that Ms Murray had fed my G.P. However after a year they were forced to rectify via Freedom of Information [FOI].


Physio #2:

A considerable time later another senior physio, Ms A. McGrath visited me once in Dec 2019 and then informed my G.P., in writing, that having discussed CRU with me that I had agreed to consider CRU and would contact my G.P. when I had made a decision regarding this and she was therefore discharging me from her care.

As I had not and could not accept CRU as an option [in fact I told Ms McGrath that CRU had told me they could not help because of my current condition] I made a formal complaint directly to Mr P. Reid HSE CEO. I accused Ms McGrath of falsification, passing false information to and misleading my G.P.

Some time later Mr D. Walsh [National Director of Community Operations] who was investigating on behalf of Mr Reid wrote to me dismissing my complaint on the grounds that it had already been fully and formally investigated.


I wrote to Mr Reid informing him that Mr Walsh's claim was false - Mr Reid ignored me.

After obtaining proof under FOI that no investigation had ever taken place, I again wrote to Mr Reid informing him of this and requested he refer matters to the Gardai [as falsification of medical/clinical records could constitute a criminal offence] – Mr Reid ignored me.


HSE has written to me stating that physio Ms McGrath admits that I had fully explained why and how CRU was not and could not be an option. 

Despite this they say that Ms McGrath did no wrong in telling my GP that I had agreed to consider CRU and then contact my GP – Mr Reid continues to ignore me.

Unaccountability is just one reason why our health care is in such a state and staff can and do indulge in falsehoods and falsification with Mr Reid's approval – after all its proven that he indulges in the same conduct.

This type of misconduct affects every patient, but no one is really bothered until it affects them – then its too late.

People worry about self-isolation because of the virus – the last time I got out walking was May 2017 and I've been out just once since before last Christmas.

The silence of Taoiseach Varadkar

The silence of Taoiseach Varadkar:



After 7 months of silence I reasonably requested Taoiseach Varadkar to update me regarding my complaint to him against Minister Simon Harris.

Taoiseach Varadkar declined my request and informed me that he had passed it on to Minister Harris for his attention.

Meaning that I must await on Minister Harris's pleasure while he investigates himself.

So, the government are fully aware that, for example, the Medical Council indulge in falsification and falsehoods, including altering evidence and complaints from patients and are indifferent despite the official independent evidence.

A very major problem [for patients] is that the Medical Council's CEO presents my case to the inquiry [who take evidence under oath] yet the CEO is just one of the persons party to the falsifications and altering I have complained of and proven.

Saturday, 6 July 2019

Taoiseach Varadkar appoints Minister Harris to investigate Minister Harris.


Minister for Health Simon Harris has twice refused to accept and investigate my complaints against his Dept. of Health and the Medical Council by insisting he did not have the authority.

This although he had the incontrovertible documentary evidence of serious misconduct and criminal activity and the relevant law gave him the required authority.

The Medical Council has been proven to have completely fabricated a complaint and altered and falsified evidence from me.

Because of this I lodged a formal complaint with An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar requesting he investigate the conduct of Minister Harris and to ensure there could be no doubt I said -

“as well as my original complaints, I'm accusing Minister Harris of covering up serious misbehaviour and that includes the proven criminal offences”

My complaint was lodged 6 weeks ago.

Having acknowledge receipt of my complaint I was then informed that my complaint had been forwarded to Minister Harris to investigate.

So Minister Harris is now investigating himself.

The proven allegations against the Medical Council are of national importance as such conduct, in principle, would affect every patient in the country.

Minister for Health Simon Harris T.D.

Minister for Health Simon Harris now has the documentary proof:


I have lodged a formal request to Minister Harris to investigate serious misconduct on the part of the Medical Council and his own Dept' of Health.

This complaint is based on 7 detailed instances of serious misconduct that are fully supported by documentation, including from the Information Commissioner and the Data Protection Commissioner.

The documentary evidence has been fully set out for Minister Harris.

Misconduct includes falsification and fabrication. Claiming to possess documentary evidence proven never to have existed, the fabrication of complaints and ignoring documentary evidence etc.


Apart from everything else I believe the minister's investigation will almost certainly uncover criminal activity.

Medical Council admits to further fabrications:



 Medical Council forced to admit to further fabrications:


During 2017 I discovered that the Medical Council had written to outside third parties that they had examined and dismissed my complaint -

"an allegation that Dr Noel refused to treat Mr. Trent as Mr. Trent previously missed appointments"

As I never made any such complaint I requested the Medical Council withdraw this fabrication

During 2018 and despite my denial Ms W. Kennedy, Director of Corporate Services for the Medical Council informed me that they had reached a decision, regarding this complaint, to add a note to the effect that they had no evidence that I had missed appointments.

Since this meant the Medical Council were still insisting that they had such a complaint from me and that they had investigated it and dismissed it, I demanded they produce it.

During Dec 2018 The Data Protection Commissioner wrote and informed me that the Medical Council now admitted that they never had any such complaint from me and therefore could not produce any documentation.

So seven years after 'my' complaint was dismissed the Medical Council are forced to admit to further falsifications and fabrications, just like they were forced to admit to other falsifications and fabrications by the Information Commissioner in 2014.

The Medical Council are now in their eighth year of covering up for Tallaght Hospital's Dr J. Noel.

How could the Medical Council 'see' documentation, evidence, complaints etc that never existed?

How could Ms Kennedy add a note to a complaint that never existed?

Quite simply the Medical Council started out to cover-up for Dr Noel and nothing, even the truth, was going to get in the way. As proven, they would fabricate anything necessary to obtain their goal.

Hospitals are not obliged to investigate serious complaints:

Tallaght Hospital refused to interview their staff member I gave as a witness.


Ms H. Dixon rules that the hospital were right to refuse to interview my witness:


To cover up their culpability in leaving me crippled for life by Tallaght Hospital and their Dr J. Noel, the hospital claims I did not follow Dr Noel's instructions and my claims to have done so are lies. The hospital still stands by this, supported by the Data Protection Commissioner, Ms H. Dixon.
In rebuttal of the hospital's claims I identified, as my witness/proof, the staff member I had dealt with to support my complaint to the Hospital.
From 2010 to 2018 all documentation released shows that this staff member was never interviewed for the 'investigations' by the hospital or the Data Protection Commissioner and, obviously, had never denied dealing with me.
Ms H. Dixon has now closed my complaint to her, ruling that the fact that Tallaght Hospital had never involved the staff member I identified, was acceptable and fair process.
Ms Dixon is factually ruling that the hospital [any hospital] does not have to investigate very serious complaints that are backed by evidence - even though my health has been seriously damaged.
Justifying the exclusion of the identified staff member it's indicated to me that failure to interview the identified staff member is of no consequence as it's up to me to prove I'm not a liar and not up to the hospital to prove their claims that I'm a liar.
Ms Dixon insists that it's not good enough for me to identify and say, this is the staff member I dealt with. Ms Dixon says I have to prove I dealt with this staff member and it's not up to the hospital to speak to the staff member.
This clear bias conduct of the Ms Dixon is nothing new, but a question comes to mind - why exclude this hospital staff member for 8 years if she does not support my claims?
Ms Dixon has yet again made her stance very clear, she will protect the hospital and ensure they are not accountable - Thereby confirming what a coroner went on record as saying, that Tallaght Hospital “sounds like a very dangerous place to be for anybody, let alone a sick patient”.
What I and other pensioners are being told is that unless you have the finances to launch legal action, you have no Rights.

Monday, 5 March 2018

Data Protection Commissioner cites non-existent evidence:


 Ms H. Dixon claims to have evidence that does not exist - again


Refuses to produce 'evidence' and let me defend myself:


Data Protection Commissioner Ms H. Dixon claims she has documentary evidence [signed by me] that proves I've changed my story regarding Tallaght Hospital and lied.

I have denied that I have ever altered my claims from day one and therefore she cannot have documentation, created by me, to support her claims.

But like the Medical Council she refuses to produce said evidence and refuses me the opportunity to respond to it and defend myself.

She informs me that she has closed the file on this, yet another of my complaints and I'm therefore not entitled to a formal decision on my complaint as promised by the Data Protection Act.

I therefore say she has falsified evidence - just as the legal decisions proved the Medical council had done.

Unfortunately unlike the Medical Council, the Information Commissioner does not cover her, so I cannot force her hand and she uses her falsehoods to help Tallaght Hospital cover-up leaving me seriously disabled for life.

Everything else aside - I'm in my 9th month of being housebound because of Tallaght Hospital and their Dr J. Noel, but Ms Dixon does not see her job as to uphold my Rights and the law, rather to protect those who have crippled me.


# In another case - Since 2012 the Data Protection Commissioner has refused to protect my Rights relating to the illegal release of my medical records by Tallaght Hospital to outside 3rd parties against my wishes.

Throughout the free world including Ireland these Rights are enshrined in law to protect patients - but Ms Dixon makes an exception in my case and breaks the law to protect Tallaght Hospital and Ms E. Hardiman.

Tallaght Hospital, supported by Ms H. Dixon, rely on records that don't exist

Tallaght Hospital, supported by Ms H. Dixon, rely on records that don't exist


Refuse to produce letters they claim they wrote to me:


Ms Dixon the Data Protection Commissioner [D.P.C.] informed me that I had been twice given the written opportunity, by Tallaght Hospital, to object to them handing over my confidential medical records [c200 documents] to non-medical outside third parties and as I'd failed to object, they handed over my medical records.

As I had no knowledge of any such notifications to which I failed to respond/object to, and as if they existed they should have already been released to me under previous Freedom of Information [FoI] requests, I made a formal FOI request to the hospital.

This was made the more important as Ms Dixon had refused to give me sight of said documents and I believed they did not exist.

The hospital requested I supply proof of identification and I referred them to my certified birth cert previously lodged with and accepted by them.

They informed that that was not good enough and requested I supply current identification [a driver’s license or passport] and until I do that they would not process my request. I don't have a driver's licence or passport.

Clearly D.P.C. and the hospital are working together, after all, if the hospital did write to me and I failed to respond, as claimed, what's the problem of producing said letters?

Exist or not, the letters would not suffice in law as a patient has to give permission, nothing less is legally acceptable.

This coupled with the D.P.C. refusing to protect my Rights regarding my medical records can only help the hospital get away with leaving me crippled.

This is not the only time that claims have been made that documentation exists but all parties refuse to produce them.


Clearly Ms Dixon and the hospital will, not for only time, make whatever false claims are necessary to dismiss my valid and serious complaints - just like the Medical Council did as proven by the Information Commissioner's legally binding decision. 

Sunday, 4 February 2018

Data Protection Commissioner - complaints and evidence can be arbitrarily altered:

Data Protection Commissioners view is that evidence can be arbitrarily altered.

And, formal statutory complaints can also be arbitrarily altered.

I had accused the Medical Council of arbitrarily altering my complaint and documentary evidence to the opposite to what it said in order to clear Tallaght Hospital's Dr J. Noel - who has left me crippled for life.

Dr Noel told the Medical Council he had offered me immediate treatment which I refused.

I stated Dr Noel had offered me treatment ASAP depending on when a bed became available and my evidence lodged was his hospital letter to my G.P. confirming that. I never received the treatment.

Medical Council internal documents showed they had materially altered what I said to show me agreeing that Dr Noel had offered me immediate treatment which I refused and that I said his letter to my G.P. which I lodged as evidence confirmed this.

Thereby substituting 'I refused treatment' - for - 'I did not get treatment due to Dr Noel's laziness and negligence'.

The Medical Council refused to rectify claiming they had documentary evidence proving what they said and even had their solicitor write to me insisting this. They refused to produce said 'evidence'.

The Information Commissioner's legally binding decision, that can only be varied by the high court, fully backed me and was that I had never said what the Medical Council insisted I had and they did not have the documentary evidence they claimed to have.

The Data Protection Commissioners preliminary view is that the Medical Council's actions of arbitrarily altering my statutory complaint and evidence were fit and proper.

The fact that a regularity body could even entertain such thoughts proves a serious lack of fairness and integrity because it formally denies due process by refusing a party the right to put their side of matters. It also means that integrity and ethics are purely discretionary.

What it also factually means is that the Medical Council has a right to alter complaints and evidence as they see fit - in my case, altered to clear the doctor who has left me crippled.

Dr Noel is guilty of, at least, negligence and falsification and once the Medical Council indulged in alterations, my legal Right to lodge the complaints I wished to have considered was illegally removed.

Up to now all this is approved by Prof. F. Wood, the Medical Council's president, who stands by the decision to clear Dr Noel and his submission that I'm a time wasting, lying patient who refused treatment - despite the evidence of his letter to me G.P.

Prof. Wood also refused to give me assurances that no one with a connection with Dr Noel or Tallaght Hospital would be involved in my complaints.

There's also the damage the false picture Dr Noel has painted of me adversely influencing others dealing with me [my ambulance transport to appointments withdrawn etc] especially as he is backed by the Medical Council, who are backed by the Data Protection Commissioner.
One must remember the Medical Council is a quasi-judicial body set up to protect patients and set standards for the medical profession.


Unfortunately in matters before the Data Protection Commissioner she claims to have documentary evidence I said things I deny saying, but like the Medical Council she refuses to produce said 'evidence'.

Medical Council's solicitors party to a cover-up:

Falsified medical records - Medical Council's solicitors party to a cover-up:

The Medical Council and Dr J. Noel's falsified medical records

It's now over a year since I made formal requests for records/documentation to the Medical Council and my request to the Data Protection Commissioner is still outstanding, the following is based upon the records in my possession - although it's clear that records are being withheld.

It was decided that Dr Noel had no case to answer even though his medical records of 1/4/10 contradict his letter of 1/4/10 received by my G.P. - a letter that supports my claims regarding what treatment he offered me.

The Medical Council rejected my complaint that Dr J. Noel of Tallaght Hospital had falsified the medical records for 1/4/10. The following is proven by official documentation.

[1] Although his letter confirmed he had offered me treatment ASAP depending on when a bed became available Dr Noel told the Medical Council's Ms Amanda Mc Guinness that he wanted his letter of 1/4/10 to my G.P. to be read not as that but as he had actually offered me immediate treatment which I refused.

[2] The Medical Council's solicitor Ms Finola O'Dwyer certified internally and put forward as evidence that Dr Noel's letter of 1/4/10 to my G.P. did confirm he had offered me immediate treatment and that I agreed with that - a double proven falsehood.

[3] The Medical Council's solicitor Mr Diarmuid Coen certified that they did have this documentary evidence, that I had agreed with Dr Noel and all their actions were lawful. He also indicated that they were accepting Dr Noel's medical records of 1/4/10 as being true and rejected Dr Noel's letter to my G.P. which he had written at the consultation on 1/4/10 in Tallaght Hospital.

[4] The Information Commissioner's legally binding decision was that the Council did not have the evidence they claimed they had, that I had not agreed with Dr Noel and they had materially incorrectly described my complaint.

Despite accepting this legally binding decision/ruling the Council stand by their decision to clear Dr Noel - proving that was their intention all along no matter what documentary evidence I had.

Two major points are, that Dr Noel was never asked to explain why his letter to my G.P. that confirms my claims and written at the 1/4/10 consultation contradicts his medical records he claims were written at the exact same time.

And,

The Medical Council never explained why they rejected the evidence Dr Noel's letter of 1/4/10 written to and received by my G.P.
As the Medical Council sets the standards for the medical profession this proves that integrity is only optional for the profession as it is for the Council and their staff.

I'm left crippled for life and now in my 7th month of being totally housebound.

I have given Prof. Freddie Wood and Ms Finola O'Dwyer the opportunity to respond.

Social workers know better than doctors:

Social workers know better than, and contradict doctors:

Social workers  refuse any help.

Celine O'Connor, social work team leader, has confirmed that they will not help me in any way.

Despite my challenge she has not altered their indicated stance that I'm not housebound, extremely immobile and in constant pain.

Despite the medical and physical evidence and my G.P. certifying that I'm housebound, they stand by their opinion that I can get out and about.

Clearly they are of the opinion that I'm faking my serious condition and they have declined to meet with me.

Just as clearly - a pensioner whose Rights have been violated and left crippled is of little importance when it comes to protecting 'important' people. I've now totally housebound and in pain while these people make 'excuses' in order not to help me in order not to rock the establishment boat.


I've informed my G. P. that due to this extremely unprofessional conduct it would be unwise to have any further dealings with social workers.

Data Protection Commissioners manipulation:

Further covering-up for Tallaght Hospital by Ms H. Dixon. Evidence manipulated.

After over 4 years - No action to be taken - it's all a big mistake.

[My previous articles set out the details] The illegally released file contains hospital falsifications painting me as a time wasting patient who missed appointments who also refused treatment and those falsifications contradict original hospital documents. The falsifications passed the blame from the hospital on to me for my crippled state.

Now Ms Dixon's written statutory decision, although ruling in my favour, is nothing more than a propaganda document covering up the deliberate nature of the hospital's and in particular Ms E. Hardiman's law breaking, so as to not prosecute.

Ms Dixon's U-turn:

While this statutory decision records in different parts that my complaint had been made to the Data Protection Commissioner [D.P.C.] on 7th Dec 2012 and that D.P.C. investigation started on 23rd Sept 2016 there's no mention that this gap of nearly 4 years was caused by D.P.C. refusing my complaint insisting that the hospital had done no wrong in releasing my medical records, against my wishes, to outside third parties.

The rewriting of history:

The hospital has two sets of records - the earlier set supports my claims and puts the blame on to them. The second later set contradicts their early records and passes the blame on to me. Now the hospital avails themselves of Ms Dixon's statutory decision to further rewrite history to put themselves further in the clear.

Ms Dixon records that in December 2016 she outlined the preliminary findings of her investigation to me. All she told me was that the hospital had violated data law, there was absolutely nothing regarding the 'propaganda' below, so I had no opportunity to highlight the falsehoods as I've done here in this article - but from correspondence she must have been aware of them when making her decision.

All these 'facts' Ms Dixon records in her statutory decision make it out to be all a big mistake on the part of the hospital and Ms Hardiman. Everything was done for the best of intentions - so no prosecutions. But it's all based on these proven [by documentation] falsehoods etc. All a big mistake, while I'm left crippled for life and no action to be taken.

As I write this article I've been completely housebound for over a month and usually in considerable pain, yet the only actions I see are to cover-up.

Also refer to my article "A corrupt Data Protection Commissioner in Tallaght Hospital's pocket." which this reinforces.

During 2012 and in order not to answer my complaints and not to deal with me Tallaght Hospital, specifically the then CEO Ms E. Hardiman, deliberately broke the law and sent, against my wishes, my medical records to outside 3rd parties for 'review'.

Right up to present the hospital, specifically their present CEO Mr Slevin, refuse to answer my complaints on the grounds that an outside 3rd party is undertaking a full review based on the illegal release [unfair processing] of my medical records etc - Ms H. Dixon [D.P.C.] is aware of this and in fact refused my request that my illegally released records be returned to me by the 3rd parties.

For years the hospital and Ms Dixon have been fully aware that the law had been deliberately broken but Ms Dixon has and continues to abuse her authority to protect Ms Hardiman, Tallaght Hospital and staff.

Having refused to accept my complaint [made 2012] for 4 years with the ludicrous grounds that the hospital and Ms Hardiman had every right to pass my medical records etc to outside 3rd parties against my wishes and this had not violated the data laws - while the hospital and D.P.C. had agreed privately in 2012 that the hospital had broken the law.

[I wrote, for example, to D.P.C. in 2012 & 2013 regarding this but was totally ignored. Ignoring reasonable but awkward correspondence seems to be policy],

Ms Dixon, having been caught out did a U-turn, investigated my complaint and issued a statutory decision in March 2017.

Ms Dixon ruled that the hospital [Ms Hardiman] had broken the law as they had "no legal basis for disclosing your sensitive personal information" etc.

Despite this and having been given the proof that Ms Hardiman deliberately broke the law and the hospital was profiting [and still are] from the illegal acts [there can be no 'review' based on illegal acts] my request for prosecution was refused by default. Ms Dixon had at first denied she had the power to prosecute but under my pressure admitted she had.

Ms Dixon's statutory decision [she has refused any discussion]:

# She highlights my refusal of the hospitals apology - but says nothing about their refusal to rectify and answer my complaints or them still standing by their claim that there's an ongoing 'review' [based on the illegally released records] as a reason.

# She highlights the hospitals claim to have spent 2 years trying to resolve my complaint - but says nothing regarding them refusing to answer my complaints, both the 5 year old ones and more recent ones. Refusals based on the illegal release of my file.

# She says nothing and does nothing regarding the hospital continually profiting from their deliberate violation of the Data Protection Act.

Hiding the proof of Ms Hardiman's deliberate law breaking:

# Ms Dixon, while ignoring my request to prosecute and while acknowledging my claim that the violations of the Data Protection Act were deliberate [as opposed to the hospital's claim it was all a mistake], failed to record Ms Hardiman's two written requests to me for my explicit permission to release my records to outside 3rd parties for review [proving the deliberate nature of Ms Hardiman's actions].

This is very telling in the light of Ms Dixon being aware that the hospital's Ms Hardiman deliberately broke the law in releasing my medical records in order to disseminate proven false documents, and -

Non- existent 'notifications':

# Ms Dixon cites, more than once, that the hospital had written to me twice advising me that they would now be referring matters to outside 3rd parties for review. That's false - these notifications don't exist and I have asked Ms Dixon to produce these documents or to explain. So again we have documentation 'invented' to suit purpose - just like the Medical Council, who were forced to admit this via the Information Commissioner's legally binding statutory decision.

False claim that I never objected to my records being sent to outside 3rd parties:

# Ms Dixon records that I never objected to the hospital's [Ms Hardiman's] suggestion that they send my records to outside 3rd parties for review. That's false - as Ms E. Hardiman [then Tallaght Hospital CEO] personally wrote to me twice specifically requesting my permission to release my records and stating that once I'd given my consent she would recommend an outside 3rd party review of said records. Twice I wrote to Ms Hardiman declining to give my permission.

Ms Dixon fully accepts this falsehood to exonerate the hospital and Ms Hardiman of any deliberate intent.

I have asked Ms Dixon to inform me what she intends to do about these most serious matters and what rectification is to be offered to me.

Crippled for life due to negligence and falsification justified:

# Ms Dixon records that the hospital had released my confidential records to outside 3rd parties in order to care for my health and for openness and transparency.

# openness and transparency - D.P.C. is fully aware that Tallaght Hospital refused to give me a copy of the file they illegally released but lets the hospital's falsehood go as it paints them in a 'good' light.

# health - the hospital attempts to justify [illegally] releasing my file by saying, as recorded by Ms Dixon, it was their responsibility as a hospital to provide as far as possible for my health, happiness and welfare as a patient.

Yet they have left me crippled for life, falsified documentation [contradicting other hospital records] refused to answer my complaints and ignored my letters etc.

Ms Dixon is aware that the deliberate violations of the Data Protection Act was used to disseminate falsifications to 3rd parties For example, some of which helped Dr J. Noel deny the truth of his own letter and contradict what he had told my G.P. to cover-up for negligence that left me, a patient, crippled for life.

Looking at my longstanding and ongoing situation it's easy to see why our health service is so bad and getting worse - patients have no protection as hospitals and their staff etc are unaccountable, even to the extent that they can break the law and be covered-up for.

My complaints, original and others, remain unanswered - proving that Tallaght Hospital, their staff etc are unaccountable.

I'm left crippled for life, virtually housebound and in constant pain and all Ms Dixon can think of is to cover-up for the hospital, their staff and Ms E. Hardiman in particular.

I have offered Ms Dixon the opportunity to respond and substantiate the propaganda by sending her a link to my article.

Ms Dixon had and has the opportunity to respond, with evidence, if she believes anything I have published is incorrect or untrue.


Matters are so serious that if she does not avail of the opportunity it can only be accepted that she agrees with everything in this and other articles.

Tallaght Hospital CEO guilty of deliberately breaking the law:

Guilty - the official and legal verdict on Tallaght Hospital.

Data Protection Commissioner delivers her verdict 4 years after I made my complaint to her.

The Data Protection Commissioner has found Tallaght Hospital guilty of breaking the law by passing on my medical records [file of over 200 documents] to 3rd parties.

The Commissioner made two rulings -

# That the hospital had passed on my records to 3rd parties without my required consent and had therefore broken data protection law;

# That the Commissioner could not see any legal basis for passing on my file to 3rd parties.

This related to the then CEO of Tallaght Hospital, Ms E. Hardiman, personally orchestrating the releasing of my medical records to 3rd parties against my wishes.

This decision comes over 4 years after I made my complaint to the Commissioner.

Now under consideration is what action is to be taken regarding this deliberate violation of data protection law.

Medical Councils serious lack of integrity:

The Medical Council ~ investigation:

Dr Audrey Dillon. Medical Council Vice-President and Chair of Ethics and Professionalism Committee.    

I have now presented Dr A. Dillon with more than enough documentary evidence for to conduct an investigation and for full rectification including reinstatement of my complaints and further action against Tallaght Hospital's Dr J. Noel for his falsehoods etc made to the Council and also regarding the illegal and possibly criminal actions of the Council and, or their staff.

This included proof that the Council's solicitor Mr Diarmuid Coen had not just indulged in serious misconduct but on the face of it, criminal conduct. This was in relation to matters they were forced by the Information Commissioner to admit to after years - that they never had the evidence they claimed they had when clearing Dr Noel - in fact the evidence did not exist, they had fabricated it. Evidence Mr Coen fraudulently had insisted and certified they had in their possession.

Just one other matter is regarding the Council's acceptance of evidence regarding an incident from a Tallaght Hospital staff member who is proven was not on duty or even present in the hospital at the time of the incident.


I have also provided her with a link to this publication so that she's fully informed.

Tuesday, 4 October 2016

Medical Councils policy of altering records etc:

Medical Council's criminal activity to cover-up for Tallaght Hospital's Dr J. Noel:

Activity officially confirmed by their solicitor Mr Diarmuid Coen:

The Council's solicitor, Mr D. Coen, confirmed that they were accepting Dr Noel's uncorroborated word that he had offered me immediate treatment which I refused - even though I denied this offer and my G.P. confirmed that this contradicted what he told her.

In order to support Dr Noel's 'word' the Council altered my complaint and evidence and claimed they had evidence from me - evidence they admit never existed.

All this is proven by internal Council documents and the Information Commissioners legally binding decision.

Having left me crippled for life by his criminal negligence Dr J. Noel changed his story and was protected by the Council.

Mr D. Coen. Solicitor - the Council accepts Dr Noel's word:

The Council's solicitor, Mr D. Coen, wrote to me confirming that they were accepting Dr Noel's word - even though his word was the opposite to what was in his letter received by my G.P., a letter written at the consultation which confirmed what I said Dr Noel had offered me - treatment ASAP depending on when a bed became available. I lodged said letter with the Council proving my complaint. But the Council changed my evidence.

Mr Coen also insisted that everything they had done was perfectly legal and insisted that my evidence and my complaint agreed with Dr Noel - when they clearly were the opposite.

Therefore the Council's actions regarding me were confirmed as official policy.

Medical Council's criminal actions:

In order to accept Dr Noel's word they mis-described my complaint and evidence by falsely claiming I said that my evidence agreed with Dr Noel and that the letter I lodged as evidence confirmed that Dr Noel had offered me immediate treatment which I refused.

This was a complete fabrication and I challenged the Council and requested they produce the documents proving what they claimed - they refused, standing by their decision to clear Dr Noel.

This was the only way the Council could get rid of the irrefutable evidence of Dr Noel's letter to my G.P. in order to accept his uncorroborated word and clear him.

Information Commissioner finds against the Council:

In the legally binding decision [case 120243] the Council acknowledged that they had incorrectly described my complaint and evidence and that they did not have the documentary evidence they claimed they had, in fact it never existed.

Confirmation of the Council's criminal actions:

Despite all this the Council still stands by their decision to clear Dr J. Noel - proving beyond any reasonable doubt that they intended to side with Dr Noel from the very outset, no matter how damming the evidence was.

A major point is that at no time was Dr Noel's proven self contradiction questioned or explained.

# Now that the Data Protection Commissioner has admitted that her decision made against me over 4 years ago, regarding Tallaght Hospital, was wrong and has now reversed it and ordered an investigation into the hospital, one wonders how much longer the Council and Prof Wood will be let continue and stand by their criminal activities.

# I have provided [through info@mcirl.ie] Prof F. Wood with the link to this article in order to ensure that she has the opportunity to personally respond and I formally request his full response.

# I have provided [through info@mcirl.ie] Dr A. Dillon with the link to this article as she is the Chair of the Ethics and Professionalism Committee and my case proves that the Council is morally bankrupt. Given her position I request that she personally responds.

Tallaght Hospital to be investigated:

Data Protection Commissioner orders a formal investigation into Tallaght Hospital:

Over 4 years after ruling my complaint not valid the Commissioner now admits it's valid.

Quite perversely the notification of investigation informs me that "the investigation will endeavour to establish whether any contravention of the Acts occurred."

But the Commissioner has already told Tallaght Hospital that they did contravene the acts - My article 18th Aug 2016.

However -

So after over 4 years of my Rights being clearly denied to me, a fact that could only help those who have left me crippled for life, it's decided that my complaint was indeed valid [Without apology or explanation].

It has to be questioned why it has taken over 4 years to investigate what was clearly a valid complaint and why in the interim the Commissioner has treated me with such extreme discourtesy [Without apology or explanation], such as by ignoring the majority of my Emails, including - that Tallaght Hospital's data protection officer had ignored my formal complaints.

Of course it's not just a matter of illegally releasing my documents, but using the illegal release to disseminate false documents that would help a cover-up - false by virtue that later hospital documents were produce that contradict the earlier hospital documents that supported me.

The false documents are extremely important because they pass the blame onto me [from the hospital] for my crippled state.

Also my documents were accessed and released not by a doctor or for my treatment but by lay person[s] and that was personally instigated by Ms E. Hardiman.

The investigation must be wide ranging and cover the interval between my first complaint and the belated investigation - including all correspondence to Commissioner and that includes my complaint made 2 years ago regarding the illegal release of my medical records [proven to be falsified], a complaint that the Commissioner just ignored in order not to deal with it and that could only aid Tallaght Hospital's cover-up.

# I wrote directly to the Commissioner, Ms H. Dixon, regarding these two complaints but she completely ignored me.

Certain matters have already been settled [as shown in my previous articles] -

# Tallaght Hospital and in particular Ms E. Hardiman deliberately violated the Data Protection Act - as they were told by Commissioners in private conversations.

# Tallaght Hospital and in particular Ms E. Hardiman knew full well they needed my express permission and knew they did not have it.

# That my complaint made, over 4 years ago, to the Commissioner was in fact clearly valid.


# I have provided Mr John S. Keyes, Assistant Commissioner, the investigating officer, with a link to this article so that it will be taken into consideration.

Monday, 5 September 2016

Data Protection Commissioner a full official review:

I have been formally informed that Ms Dixon, the Data Protection Commissioner, has ordered an immediate full review of matters and has appointed Mr John Keyes, Assistant Commissioner & Head of Investigations to personally undertake this.

The review is to commence immediately and a substantive response is promised within the next two weeks.

Tallaght Hospital CEO Ms Eilish Hardiman criminal abuse of authority:

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?

Crumlin Children's Hospital - a very serious danger within:


Crumlin Children's Hospital - a very serious danger within:

Dr Jacques Noel. [MCRN 14671] Lazy - negligent - criminal and falsifying medical records etc:

# Because of Dr Noel's laziness I'm left crippled for life, in constant pain and virtually housebound after being diagnosed with degenerative spinal disease - 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.

Dr Noel will go into denial and falsify and fabricate etc to save his own skin at the life changing expense of a vulnerable patient, in my case, a pensioner with a medical card and, no matter that the official records support my claims, he will be protected and can rely on, successfully so far, colleagues and authorities to cover-up for him, 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 Dr J. Noel who destroy our health service and put patients in danger, but also the people / establishments who cover-up for them and employ them.

This doctor, who I saw at Tallaght Hospital, is a consultant at Crumlin Children's Hospital and is a real and serious danger to patients.

The evidence that completely supports my allegations is impeccable 'best evidence' as it's their own documentation - Tallaght Hospital, Dr J. Noel.

[1] Medical records etc - lazy and criminal:

Documentation proves that Dr Noel knew for nearly a year that I'd not received urgently required treatment yet he did not bother to do anything to rectify, he was just too lazy. He was so lazy he did not even bother to make use of, for example, a secretary to rectify. That's criminal negligence.

I did inform the hospital's CEO Ms Hardiman regarding this but she ignored me.

Dr Noel resorted to falsification on more than one occasion to cover himself.

Their original documentation supports my version of events - later they started to 'produce' documentation not only contradicting my version but contradicting their own original documents.

An address at the top of one of the falsifications reads -

"Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, Dublin 12. 01-4096100"

At my only consultation with Dr J. Noel he offered me treatment ASAP depending on when a bed became available - he confirmed this to my G.P. and confirmed it in his letter written at the consultation and the hospital records show that on the day of the consultation he sent an internal request that I be booked in ASAP for treatment - documentation shows that the bookings were never made.

Later he contradicted this by falsifying records, including medical records to claim that he had offered me immediate treatment and that I refused treatment.

If I had refused treatment I would be completely responsible for my current crippled state but the problem for the establishment is that I obtained their records which clearly show them changing their 'story' so as to pass the blame onto me.

Dr Noel also claimed to have told my G.P. that he had offered me immediate treatment and that I refused. My G.P. rejects this confirming all she was told by Dr Noel was that he offered me treatment ASAP depending on when a bed became available, as per his letter.

Clearly he resorted to criminal activity to try to cover-up his laziness and negligence.

3rd party proof that the Medical Council altered my complaint to cover for Dr Noel:

Dr Noel and the hospital can point to the fact that my complaint against him 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.

Despite this the Medical Council stand by their decision to clear Dr Noel despite his and their falsehoods - proving beyond any doubt that their actions were deliberate.

Crumlin Children's Hospital is now fully aware of the danger they put their patients in by employing Dr Noel who is devoid of ethics and seemingly untouchable.

This was not the only proven falsification and misrepresentation that Dr Noel indulged in, for example -

[2] The phone call:

As Dr Noel had requested I made the agreed phone call to Ms Irene Fortune [main orthopaedic secretary] at Tallaght Hospital's Ormsby Ward and I taped the call. I spoke to the ward clerk who said Irene was not in that day. The clerk took my name, my phone number and Dr Jacque Noel as a further contact and would get Ms Fortune to contact me - I was never contacted and complained.

In an internal hospital letter, Dr Noel explained that Ms Fortune had not contacted me because she was on sick leave with a fractured foot.

Despite this Dr Noel was to yet again indulge in fabrication to pass the blame onto me.

He later wrote to third parties claiming I had not made the call and supported his false claim with a statement from Ms Fortune, who fully identified me and said that "I had no contact with him what so ever".

Neither Dr Noel nor Ms Fortune mentions the fact that she was to have contacted me but had not done so because she was off sick, the intention is very clear.

# The ward clerk who I spoke to has never denied taking my call.

So just like [1] above the truth of their own records can be denied to save Dr Noel's skin - the implications are obvious, he is of more value to society than a pensioner who he has crippled - what value a vulnerable child if it comes to Dr Noel's skin?

In fact Tallaght Hospital is 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”.

# I have provided [through pacs@olchc.ie] Ms Helen Shortt, Chief Executive of Crumlin Children's Hospital with the link to this article in order to ensure that it's a matter of record that Ms Shortt is fully aware the danger Dr Noel's poses to patients.


A corrupt Data Protection Commissioner in Tallaght Hospital's pocket:


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.
