Dear Dr Johnson, Sent 30-07-19

It does not appear that I have had an acknowledgment of my e-mail below.  In it you will read that I was to write to the Torbay 'Trust' to find the costs of the visits of Trust board members to the headquarters of Kaiser Permanente in the USA.  I have not done that for lack of time, partly due to resolution of factors in my own health. 

Another reason is Trust tardiness in grasping nettles -

Another -
b. is the failure of board member Leslie Darke Executive Director of Estates and Commercial Development at TSDFT, to tell me in October 2018 whether staff leaving before retirement were asked in a kindly way their reasons for leaving.  She was obliged. as you know, under the Freedom of Information Act to reply to my simple question within 20 days, and without a need for me to cite this STATUTE and her obligations under it.  I asked her twice.  The ICO (the overwhelmed Information Commissioners Office) was contacted and after delay, prised the following out of the Trust this month, at least 9 months after my question. See twin posting: Retention of Nursing Staff: Failure of Leslie Darke, Torbay Trust Board Member to Answer a Key Question asked October 2018

I am therefore asking you, on behalf of the CCG to answer these four questions given that the budget which CCG-Corporate Services holds of £1.6 billion funds the 'Torbay' Trust.  That is, it commissions services, planning, policy etc within the Trust.

Dear Ms Pearce, 12-07-19 11.45 am

This is a preliminary response.  I first asked Mrs Leslie Darke,  Executive Director of Estates and Commercial Development at TSDFT, in October 2018 whether staff leaving before  retirement were asked in a kindly way their reasons for leaving.  She was a board member.  She was obliged under the Freedom of Information Act to reply to my simple question within 20 days, and without a need for me to cite this STATUTE and her obligations under it.  I asked her again and received this -

21-12-18  Dear David,  Thank you for your question. Via this e-mail I will ask my colleague the Director of Workforce to respond to your question. Happy Christmas to you too. Kind Regards  Lesley

I heard nothing from the 'Director of Workforce'.

Left Right Right! Shun! High Port Arms! Take Aim!!

I woke early, for a usual visit, and with a sixth sense and sensitive antennae of the natural sort, switched on that which the Foreign (and Commonwealth/Colonial Office/Windrush) Office was pumping trough the World Service which it funds from our taxes. It calls itself ‘The world’s radio station’. It is a canny mix of the excellent broadcast and obvious propagandare nero (PN). It is switched from BBC Radio 4 just after the beguiling lullaby Sailing By and a ‘’News’’ clip.

There was ‘news’, around 4am of the Dictator, and ‘Crown Prince’, Mohammad Ben Salman – MBS to you.

Why I unsubscribed from PSC

Details
Category: Palestine/Israel

I joined PSC in Nov 2002, having decided to ACT against the crucifixion of the Palestinian people.  (My quote - Dr Abulafi - whilst I was closing up an operation - some years before in Torbay Hospital.  'You know what they are doing to us in Palestine Mr Halpin?'  'I have a fair idea 'Issa' { = Jesus}  ' YOU HAVE NO IDEA, NO IDEA''  I had more time and the energy in spite of a drug I had been prescribed 1992 >)

My cheque, for the meeting + a generous donation to funds, and letter sent to the PSC in October 2002 - chairman Betty Hunter and secretary Hilary Wise.  I turned up at the Institute of Education, Malet St on the date in November 2002 for a big and good meeting.  Heard that UK doctors with antibiotics for children in Gaza had been turned back by the Gestapo.  I was incensed.  Me - I will take a ship so large that these most evil, life denying people will not be able to stop me reaching the people of Gaza.  Voyage of the Dove and the Dolphin  1-02-2003 . from Haldon Quay, Torquay.  See  Eyes Open Gaza  20 minutes
