To the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Secretary / Chair of Ombudsman Services / Health Secretary.
For Clarity - Attempt 607.
Jeremy Corbyn For Prime Minister.
607) "Imagine" John Lennon.
Dear Mr Clark, Lord Tim Clement Jones and Mr Hunt,
Imagine - Conservative politicians, whose salaries are paid for by the British taxpayer, responding promptly to the BBC's requests for interviews at a time of national emergency. In total contrast, well done Plymouth's Luke Pollard MP (Sutton and Devonport abd Labour) and for offering worried residents a brilliant solution to the immediate problem.
Imagine - an ombudsman scheme that is transparent, accountable fair and totally independent.
Imagine - a world in which there is no need for Livewell Southwest's Anonymous Desk Top Reviewers because the inhumane, barbaric extortion racket that is The National Framework for NHS Continuing Health Care and NHS Funded Nursing Care, has been consigned to the waste-bin of history.
Imagine - Ombudsmen who act independently, fearlessly and with unimpeachable integrity.
Imagine - Healthcare Professsionals who act with their patients' interests in mind and not those of a newly privatised profit making shadowy consortium.
DJS Research - who were truly independent and professional with their Customer Satisfaction Reports - stated,
"8.24: to be effective the SOS (now rebranded as Ombudsman Services:Property) must be seen as an impartial arbitrator between parties - currently this does not seem to be the consensus of opinion."
In other words most consumers thought that the Property Ombudsman was biased.
We tried asking the Ombudsman, Gillian Flemming, The Chair, Professor Dame Janet Finch and the CEO and Chief Ombudsman, The Rev Lewis Shand Smith the following question:
Q4. How do you account for the arbitrator's lack of impartiality? If the arbitrators are not impartial are they not open to the charge of bias?
No-one was available to give us an answer.
Q4. Lord Tim Clement Jones, consumers haven't a clue as to what the consesus of opinion is regarding the ombudsman's impartiality when settling disputes because the company that replaced DJS Research no longer asks them. Why don't they ask them such a straightforward question?
Q4 cont. Is it because you know what the answer would be and so avoid asking the question so as to maintain the myth that the Property Ombudsman is impartial?
Livewell Southwest Ltd do not publish data on the number of Desk Top Reviews made by the Anonymous Desk Top Reviewer that find against the sick, the elderly and the dying. Nor do they say how many Plymothians are phoned at home by anonymous professional healthcare workers telling them that their sick, elderly and dying relatives are not entitlked to a full DST Assessment when the truth of the matter is that they are.
Q. Mr Hunt, why is this barbaric, degrading and inhumane practice allowed to continue in a modern 21st century democracy?
The maladministrators at Ombudsman Services had the gall to advise government on the EU Directive on ADR.
Q. Mr Clark, as someone whose department has a close and continuing relationship with the maladministrators at Ombudsman Services, when you eventually emerge from your bunker are you able to assure consumers that when they take their complaint to Ombudsman Services that each and every one of them will be forensically investigated by a highly competent and impartial investigator?
You may say I'm a dreamer but thanks to Jeremy Corbyn, I'm not the only one.
Yours sincerely,
