Dear Christine Breakey, Jo Todd, Adrian Whyatt, District Judge Besford(Kingston Upon Hull Combined Courts), Barbara Swanscott(OSPT), Angela Browning MP, Dr Stephen Ladyman MP, Minister for Health and Social Care, Dr Linda Misek-Falkoff and Tina Minkowitz, both U.N Disability Convention(Treaty) Working Group et al.....
Today, I have been to a meeting with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, at last, but the have refused to accept the multi-agency care plan commissioned by ERYC and all local NHS Trusts, in February 2004.
Why did they commission Jo Todd, Key4Learning to assess my needs , if the they have totally rejected this 'careplan' carried out by Christine Breakey and Jill Aylott, on behalf of Jo Todd, Key4Learning.
Why has it taken them until the end of the year to inform me of this, especially when this multi-agency Health and Social multi-agency care planning group had commissioned this careplan at my care-review meeting in January 2004?
Couldn't have they just emailed me this decision, instead of delaying and 'stonewalling' and trying every underhand tactic in arranging this care meeting, in which finally took place today, especially when Christine Breakey and Jill Aylott finished their 'careplan' in February 2004?
They would not allow me to use my own video or audio tape 'assisted-technology in this meeting today when Adrian Whyatt, peer-advocate had informed them that they couldn't stop me using my own 'assistive-technology', under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and Human Rights Act 1998. They 'audio-taped' the meeting and gave me a copy of a audio tape, not in my 'preferred-format'. ( I have not got an audio-tape recorder to play the tape on, like tape they gave me. My audio-tape recorder 'assistive-technology' is different to theirs.)
We did agreed an 'interim' careplan of 35 hours a week, which is 'not' the 24/7 supported-living environment I had been assessed as needing by Dr Shah and others and was within Christine Breakey's and Jill Aylott careplan, in which I accepted under 'duress' and I was given no other options, except their offer to put me into 'residential institutionalised' care in an other locality in the U.K. I flatly refused this offer as I have done since 1995.
I will not be 'institutionalised' and I've got the basic human and civil rights to 'independent-living'.
This meeting was over within 45 minutes or so, so why has it taken them 9 months, after they had received Christine Breakey's and Jill Aylott's agreed commissioned joint-agency careplan, then delayed in relaying this information to me, that I was informed within the careplanning meeting today, that they will not be accepting Christine Breakey's and Jill Aylott's commissioned careplan, by Jo Todd's Key4Learning specialist Neurodiverse ASD's and SpLd's organisation.
As I've said why didn't they just write to me and email me their decisions earlier, instead of taken ages to arrange this care-panning meeting, because they were unable to find an 'accessible' meeting place or meet my full 'access needs'.
As I said all Social Workers and other Council Staff, Health Care professionals, and even Police Officers have refused to 'visit' and 'enter' my very poor squalid living environment(my-home), due to the 'personal health and safety risk', but they expect me to live within this squalor 24/7 without any 'service-provisions', personal assistants and 'assistive-technology' I've been assessed as needing.
As I said I have accepted their offer of this 'interim' care-plan, because my back was against the wall and I had no legal or independent advocate at this meeting to support me through in making any decisions about my care, so I had to accept this 'interim' care-package, because as I said I felt powerless and I had 'no-other-choices', so I accepted their offer 'without-prejudice' while I am taken legal due-process within the Courts and with the Local Government Ombudsman within all my cases.
As you all are well informed I have issued legal proceedings that I have served on all the 'public-bodies' early this year, but as you are all well informed all my cases have been 'stayed' by DJ Besford, Kingston Upon Hull Combined Courts into the hands of the 'Official Solicitors' office which I still have had no responses from them about what's happening with the legal due-process in my case.
The Council are going to ask Wilf Ward Family Trust to provide me with this 'care-package'. The same Wilf Ward Trust who 'refused' to work with me over a year ago and wouldn't allow me to make any complaints.
The same Wilf Ward Family Trust who run the 'Direct Payments Scheme here is the East Riding of Yorkshire and forced me off 'direct-payments' and would not allow me to make any complaints.
As I've said I made a complaint under the Social Services Complaints procedure over a year ago about me being taken-off my 'direct-payments' unlawfully, but I'm still awaiting my Independent Panel Review on this matter, over a year now.
I have had one careplan after another for the last 10 years and 'not' one of them have ever been implemented at today's date.
This is what my previous counsellor/advocate Mr John Meakin, as stated about my case in his letter on the 3/8/04 to all 'public-bodies, DJ Besford, Hull Courts, Official Solicitors Office, Advocates and all public-bodies, in which you have all seen a copy of Mr Meakin's letter.... Mr Meakin's letter was written 17 days before the previous care-planning meeting on 20/8/04, which never took place for reasons Mr Whyatt, peer-advocate and I have expressed to you all where we were both threatened with 'arrest' for trying to make complaints within my case..... Mr Meakin stated....
1) I have always and continue to find Mr Revell consistent in the articulation of his needs. He feels that Dr Shah has provided the basis for a careplan. He does not wish to move out of the area to realise this plan. He believes, and experience to date supports this, that professionals at any level need to have specialist training in order to avoid secondary and tertiary problems arising from a failure to anticipate, understand and correctly attribute his behaviour.
2) I have never found Mr Revell to be violent, although he has been the victim of violence.
3) He is particularly sensitive to autistic behaviour, being mislabelled
e.g. attention seeking,
oppositional defiant disorder/conduct disorder,
personality disorders
in his own case and others.
4. In Mr Revell's particular case, the care planning process appears to have been an endless paper chase with little ever implemented. I do acknowledge that Mr Revell's attempts to obtain an independent advocate of late, has also prolonged this process, but the scale of years now is incomprehensible.
5. Given the history of being let down by Agencies engaged to, tasked to, or tasked with, his care or representation, I do not find his distrust and efforts at what he feels is self preservation surprising
I have no confidence that I will ever receive this 'care-package' they have offered today, because I have 'worn this tee-shirt' now too many times and have had that many false-promises over the last 10 years and as I have said on numerous occasions they have not implemented any of my previous clinical reports and care-plans in the past, so I have no faith that they will take a 'pragmatic-approach' now within my case, in them changing their behaviour.
'Does a leopard ever change is spots?'
What do you all think then?
Kind-Regards
Colin Revell
