Dear Mr Dunshea,

 Please can you explain why after 5 letters of complaint, 4 of which (including the first one in 2012) you should have had passed to you by Mr Howell, you have not fulfilled the criteria as set out in your website regarding complaints about the GCC.

 When were you going to get around to dealing with them?  After I am thrown out of the profession, where I would have no voice, or after Mr Howell retires when no action can be taken?

 A prompt response would be nice.

 Regards,

 Howard Lamb

 

Dear Mr Kavanagh,

There have been 5 letters of complaint.  The first was in 2012 where in Mr Howell’s response he was going to bring the matter to the GCC in a meeting on 24/05/12.  Three other letters of complaint went in this year before I was removed from the register, all to Mr Howell, and one final one to Mr Dunshea.  Perhaps you could explain why the GCC’s complaints procedure, as advertised on your website, was never adhered to.

The law says that not only must you be transparent but also that you are being seen to be transparent.  How can Mr Howell remove me from the register whilst he has 3 complaints which have not been dealt with hanging over him?

Mr Button has all the details.  There is no point making another complaint as you have not dealt with the others.  I did ask Mr Dunshea to add all of the correspondence which I finally got back from Mr Howell to the appeals bundle.  This is evidence again of more breaches of protocols and procedures, receiving paperwork 6 months after the statutory time and a solicitor’s letter.

I would appreciate a prompt response as to whether my complaints are being dealt with or ignored.  I have no paperwork back from the GCC at all on the subject. Therefore, until we have clarity I cannot make my decision on representation or whether the GCC’s actions are illegal.

Regards,

Howard Lamb

Dear John,

I know that you are tied up this week. I have a 7 bundle heavy box of paperwork from the solicitors who worked for the BCA insurers. The case was flawed. The GP who signed the patient back to work was not sued. He could have confirmed my diagnosis and that there was no need for a scan. The hospital which diagnosed him was not sued after his collapse, and had treated him and x-rayed him 5 weeks previously after a fall on ice. They could have confirmed the condition’s acute nature and that there was no case to answer. A flawed case, manipulated to make something out of nothing. Fraud makes insurance null and void so nobody gets paid. It was OK for my life and finances to be stressed with no comeback. This small amount of the total paperwork which covers a case against 2 chiropractors, 1 physiotherapist and a GP (different one), resulted in 4 people’s lives on hold with massive effects on practices etc,etc. Two letters could have stopped it before it started.

If my diagnosis had been listened to and acted on there would not be a sea of paperwork on Child X. How much of it do you want? The box regarding the Flynn case is un-opened and as sent by the solicitors. I shall send it direct to the GCC as back-up evidence for my complaint regarding Mr Howell and the BCA for being complicit in fraud as they took no action. Potentially fraud because everyone got paid by the insurance and nobody called the police.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Dunshea,

I am sending by taxi today a box which contains some of the paperwork on the Flynn case as sent by my insurance solicitors. Also please find attached a copy of a letter to John Williams, my solicitor for my appeal hearing, which explains why you have this paperwork.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,

I believe that Mr Howell has written to you about my 3 formal complaints; 2 about himself and 1 about Mr Button. If not, please let me know and I will send all of the relevant paperwork.

Please explain how the complaints have not been taken seriously. No part of your complaints procedure has been activated several months after the event and prior to me being removed from the register.

On the subject of my removal from the register, I have been waiting since January for Mr Howell’s chiropractic expert to contact me as part of my disability (autism and dyslexia.) My CPD is in expert short-hand and would take several hours to explain in long-hand and my preference would be to talk for 5 minutes with an expert to clear up any problems. This has been denied me (Disabilities Act.) I can supply my solicitor’s letter and response if need be.

I am talking with solicitors this afternoon regarding whether Mr Howell’s actions were legal, i.e. whilst under complaint, removing the complainee from the register, and asking for silks advice regarding judicial review/public enquiry.

I will send the relevant paperwork for the appeal even though it would seem to be on the back of an illegal action, and obviously Mr Button, whose CV and details of CPD I am still waiting for, has no clinical knowledge, hence the need to speak to someone who has.

My complaints were made as a patient of long-standing and a 30-year plus professional. Professor C. Cunliffe would be my expert of choice due to her experience.

Yours faithfully,

Howard Lamb, DC

Dear Mr Howell,

Please can you provide me with an explanation as I am a bit confused. How is it possible that even though a very serious complaint (criminal negligence and complicit to child abuse) has been registered with you, it has been ignored. You have then thrown me out of the profession. Your 10 days to respond were long up before you made you final judgement on my CPD. I do not believe that there is a profession in the world where you could ethically do this.

If you have some form of explanation then please let me know.

Yours sincerely,

Howard Lamb

Dear Mr Howell,

I believe that I can answer your letter in 5 points.

1). You were requested for paperwork and did not send any in over 6 months. How is that not a refusal? It must then be negligence.

2). You were set up by the government and report to the government.

3). As a solicitor and regulator you must comply with the law, and you have not on multiple occasions.

4). Duty of Care and advancement of the profession are in the Chiropractic Act. Also as a regulator you must comply with mandatory obligations, and you have not.

5). You have not followed your own policies, i.e. ten days to respond etc, report of child abuse, or right to diagnose.

You have still not given the details of who you report to at Privy Council, or contact details other than ‘the chair’. What you seem to be saying is that you are above the law, you can do what you want, and nobody can touch you. This is not what we have fought so hard to achieve over the past hundred years as a profession. You also say that you have sent all correspondence to ‘the chair’ but that it will take you time to send it to me(?)

As always with you, you leave more questions than answers.

I will be in contact again with you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Howard Lamb
