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. 

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.

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.

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 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?
