Dear Mr Button,

I am appealing and feel that I should not have been taken off the register after you accepted my CPD.  Please take this as written notice, and once I have the relevant paperwork I can go down the normal channels.

Obviously giving me computer links is not much help so I will contact you tomorrow so that you as the disabilities officer can explain my rights.

I still have not heard from your complaints officer regarding David Howell.  Maybe if we have time tomorrow, you can explain why.  I have not had any of the paperwork yet to defend my case.  Please can  you let me know when I can expect it.

Letter attached to email

Regards,

Howard Lamb

Dear Mr Howell,

Thank you again for another solicitor-type letter which does not cover any of the points that I have raised.

 

1. You were asked by me and my solicitor months ago for all your paperwork on Child X, and you refused, which is contrary to the Freedom of Information and Transparency Acts. There must be paperwork – you are a Government Department.
3. You have not at any stage shown why you feel exempt from Duty of Care.

 

1. My complaints are not based at this point in time on litigation. Normally this happens, as seen by our profession, after the complaints have been heard by the GCC/Privy Council. You have still not given me details of a complaints procedure other than in-house which you can influence. I must assume until told differently that one does not exist. You state that you will send correspondence to the chair of the Council although you do not say whether this is Privy Council or GCC. Obviously I have a right to see what you have sent or are sending. Please forward your letter and correspondence. Also please forward details by how and by whom the panel for appeal is put together to clarify the situation.

I have not heard from your Complaints Officer, which again is another complaint in itself. You have had over 2 months, then no adequate response. You had 10 working days to respond according to the GCC Complaints Policy. I have clearly complied with your complaints process, apart from the last line which says ‘’what you think we should do to put things right.’’ Comply fully with the Chiropractic Act and have an Independent Complaints and Appeals process rather than in-house or another Government Department.

You seem to want to separate my CPD refusal and my complaint. If you had stood up for my rights as seen in the Chiropractic Act, to diagnose and refer, particularly after accepting that I diagnose and treat children with autism and cerebral palsy. We, and more importantly, the Child X and family, would not be in the position that we are in today.

Finally, you are aware of my high-functioning autism, dyslexia and computer-phobia yet you have not complied with any part of the disability legislation over the appeals process and other. Please arrange for your Disabilities Officer to phone me to explain to me what I have to do to comply with your conditions for an appeal. It is hardly a surprise that the profession passed a vote of no confidence on the GCC a while ago. I now fully understand why.

Please could you send me without delay all Child X and CPD paperwork, e-mails, and any correspondence about me for my appeal defence. I will be asking the BCA for the same. An extension may be necessary until I have received it all. I believe that I should be re-instated to the register until you have been cleared by the Disabilities Commission and finished your complaints procedure (if you have one.)Please advise me on who is your controller at the Privy Council. I am sure that they will be able to put me straight as to whether you are a lone wolf or just doing what you were ordered to do.

Kind regards,

Dear Mr Howell,

I was clearly accepted on the register earlier this year. You cannot just change your mind and do what you want.

Please let me know where you would like your complaints to be heard, either Privy Council or GCC?

Yours sincerely,

Howard Lamb

Dear Patient,

Please see the e-mails below.  The BCA have been involved for 4 years.  I am stunned by their response.  The cover-up is bigger than I thought.

Dear Satjit,

Please find attached my last communication to the solicitor of Child X’s mother regarding the Ombudsman.  It is self-explanatory.  I presume that my case with the GCC will be covered by my indemnity insurance.

Kind regards,

Howard

From: Lamb Chiropractic Clinic [mailto:Lambchiro@btinternet.com] Sent: 08 July 2016 11:48 To: ‘Tracey Allen’ Subject: Child X

Dear Tracey,

Please send 2 letters for Child X’s mother.

1). To the Ombudsman asking what they have done regarding my information supplied about potential child abuse and negligence by the Council for the record.

2). To retrieve the Psychologist’s notes (Dr Kenny) and all the other confidential information that they have lost.

Child X’s mother can provide all the right information about who to write to.

Obviously the Council will only accept a psychologist’s diagnosis as seen in the Ombudsman’s Report.  Dr Kenny diagnosed Child X as high functioning autistic with secondary ADHD.  Surprise, surprise, these important notes and lots of other confidential information seems to have gone missing, and are months and months overdue.  Please do not pull your punches in your communications.

Kind regards,

Howard

Dear Mr Howell,

Thank you for your letter of 6^th July informing me that my name has been removed from the Chiropractic Register (Reg. No. 00024), in our 80^th year as a family. Over 1 million patient treatments with one blemish, a fraudulent claim that failed, you were fully informed and did nothing. I have put this matter in the hands of the BCA and the rest of the profession.

Your appeal system seems flawed. A 3-person panel: one from your staff, a GP who probably hates chiropractors, and a musculo-skeletal chiropractor who is anti-neurological chiropractic. All hand-picked by you or your staff I presume.

I have not had any response from you about my letters of complaint, criminal negligence, complicity to child abuse, and several breeches of law. I wonder why?

Unfortunately I am having to inform my 18,000 patients that my name has been removed from the register, and why I cannot call myself a chiropractor any longer. I believe that press, radio, and internet will get the message to them quickest.

Yours Sincerely,

Howard Lamb
DC

Dear Tracey,

I spent time with Lewis and talked to Sarah-Jane, both of whom seem not to want to accept the Ombudsman’s ruling or compensation from the Council.  When you receive their confirmation of this, please send it to the Ombudsman.  Obviously they need to find out what has been done regarding child abuse and criminal negligence first.

Kind regards,

 Howard

Dear Mr Howell,

I believe that Jamie has my CPD retention form and my 3 letters of complaint which have not been dealt with in your absence. Clearly they show that my CPD is correct, and the information we discussed in correspondence regarding my networking at the ECU, BCA and UCA conferences gave me the information needed to formulate them. Where it says in the Chiropractic Act that you have discretion on how to deal with the law, you and your predecessor have taken it that it means discretion on whether you complied or not to the legislation, which seems to be where the problems have emanated. Law is law, you cannot pick and choose.

Reading back through my correspondence to you, your non-compliance to the Chiropractic Act has had far-reaching effects, particularly over your duty of care for chiropractic patients, or lack of should I say. This is one of the major reasons for the GCC’s existence. If you had complied with the law I am sure that we would not be in this situation today.

Even at this late stage you can comply but this is up to you to decide, or you may feel that a regulator is too big to fail, and continue with your current course where there will be consequences for your actions whether I am still in the profession or not. After all, my father treated my spectrum autism so I am certainly a chiropractic patient of long-standing and as such will still have a voice.

Yours Sincerely,

Howard Lamb
