I am genuinely flabergasted at what I have just read. This morning I receive an email via a member of the press from a member of the public who works for NHS Fife. They didn't identify themselves, but the are a whistleblower previously known to me who were able to confirm...
...who they were and that the email was legitimate. My records at the board being watched were unable to obtain my new number or email. My social media being actively monitored, the didn't want to reach out via social media - and so they chose to contact me through...
...a member of the press who had written about me previously.
If the accusations contained in that email are anything to go by, and I have no reason to think that they aren't valid (the person being known to me although identity witheld- as a result of the whole situation...

...with my mother where she was misdiagnosed by NHS Fife with cancer) then it shows some very serious malfeasance with my 4-year battle to get surgery (which the SPSO upheld the complaint and NHS Fife have been non-compliant)...
...including medical records being hidden or "put to the bottom of the pile", senior staff in NHS Fife joking that if I died, they'd have no case to answer - and senior NHS Staff deliberately interjecting (who shouldn't have been involved) in a vendetta over being embarrassed...
...by the fact that they misdiagnosed my mother with cancer and after a 5 month battle - were found to have done so by another board.
The accusations also include the fact that one of the most senior members of the NHS Fife management has been making phonecalls to other boards about the SPSO mandated second opinion to "keep it off the records" and that the...
...board has been discussing matters over the phone with the SPSO, then only following up in emails with "information they wanted me to see".
It goes on to describe that (despite the SPSO saying the second opinion should be based on "current circumstances" and include an...

You should also know that the SPSO have no intention of actually making sure there is a proper second opinion. Their advisors have been making phone-calls to the department about your case and what is on the record does not reflect those calls.
All they are interested in is getting rid of a complaint which is 4 years old. The pattern has been that the SPSO or [Name Redacted] (or another) will speak on the phone and because you request documents regularly, they only follow up in emails with the things that they....
....want you to see.
The SPSO has no interest in seeing you get this surgery and neither does NHS Fife, only to close this as quickly as possible and then ignore you for all eternity. Considering the fact that half of your medical files are missing, your legal case doesn't stand much of a chance.
Even if it means that the second opinion is haphazard and based on faulty info, and even if it doesn't include you getting an appointment
- the SPSO are going to accept it as their ruling being complied with. You should also know that the SPSO has been actively informing on you to NHS Fife about social media posts.
If this is true - that's direct collusion between the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman and a board they are overseeing a complaint with! To say I am absolutely disgusted (especially on the basis of a trusted source) would not even come close to how I am feeling.
But there is one accusation that has me more than disturbed, and it is that despite concerns being raised in 2018 that I might have a heart defect, the concerns were deliberately put to the bottom of the pile!
I mean what the actually f**k is someone supposed to think about all this - I mean .............grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
When you boil all this down. This has been a 4 year fight for a second opinion - Seriously! Why would any medical institution spend 4 years trying to block a....

....a second opinion?
And the health sec shares some responsibility in this. Both her and her predecessor were fully aware of all this and they have done nothing.
