The net is closing on Dr. David Southall...................By Jack Frost

The case concerning Dr. David Southall ( paediatrician) who has given evidence in a huge number of Family Court cases, will be hitting the newspapers, shortly. As a result of Dr. David Southall's evidence, a huge number of children have been taken into care and many given away to adoption.......The parents and children in these cases are looking for transparent justice. Something the Guligans are petrified of the implications; once the full details of Dr. David Southall's villainy are exposed.

Dr...Sometimes, professor Southall! 'enhanced' his CV and made claims about himself and his experience, in court, that have now been exposed by Mrs Penny Mellor. ALL his cases are now UNSAFE. He has claimed to be ' a Consultant Paediatrician'.....when the dates for given for obtaining this status, in his evidence, were incorrect.

There is also concern about his charity; Child Advocacy International ( CAI ), which then changed its name to Childhealth Advocacy International, but still using the abbreviation CAI ! All enquiries taken up with the authorities, do not support the information Dr. Southall provided to the court and the GMC !

This same Dr David Southall was the one who falsely accused Sally Clark and her husband.
As a result, he was found guilty of 'serious professional misconduct' by the GMC and banned from any child protection work, for 3 years. Now extended.

Newport police are now conducting an investigation into a number of complaints, from mothers who allege that their babies/children were included in medical experiments conducted by Dr. David Southal, without their consent, or after their consent had been forged/obtained fraudelently.

John Hemming MP( Birmingham Yaerdley ), in a speech to the House of Commons on 19 December 2003, referred to Dr. David Southall as ' Mengele'. ( See Hansard 19 December 2006) . I published the complete text of John Hemming MP's speech in my book " The Gulag Of The Family Courts"....Page 307-311

I have now received a copy of an old e-mail ( below), sent by Penny Mellor, to the police. This is now stirring other concerns and it is expected that this will feature in the news, soon.

Subject: Deputy Chief Constable Staffordshire Police David Swift

Dear Mr Gregory,

I am sending you by fax correspondence in relation to my complaint against David Swift. In a letter dated 18th August 1999 from Mr Swift to myself he states that there are only two complaints, this is incorrect, long before I was arrested on the 29th April, DS Durbar questioned and restrained my children without consent or authority, that was the original complaint, that has been totally ignored although he alludes to it on the last page under "(b) without giving the date.

Secondly in paragraph 4 he states "I note that during the interview you spoke on behalf of others who you claim to have personal knowledge or experience of wrong doing and whom you undertook to have contact us. None of the individuals have come forward and at your request we did not contact them" That is an out and out lie. Sharon Payne, Janet Davis and Nicky McCoombe all came forward and were told to go away by DS Bufton and had Mr Swift listened to the tapes of my interview with DI Denning and DS Bufton rather than read the transcript, he would have heard the exact opposite.

It was Staffordshire Police who stated they could NOT approach parents, not at my request, at their say so. I maintain that because of Mr Swifts failure to immediately instigate a thorough investigation into allegations of collusion between David Southall and Child Protection in both the police and social services, that I was arrested and charged in order to silence me, that my children were harrassed in order to silence me, that I was unlawfully held and subjected to police harassment in order to silence me and ultimately that the charges bought against me are a tool to prevent any internal investigation into police and social services involvement in the making of false allegations of MSbP with David Southall.

Repeatedly Staffordshire Police have refused to take evidence of perjury, perverting the course of justice, assault and in my opinion the manslaughter of babies during clinical trials at North Staffordshire hospital. The day I walked into Staffordshire Police Station and saw Staffordshire Child protection Officers, that date being 4th Feb 1999 long before I was implicated in anything in relation to what I am charged with, with a copy of a police statement made by David Southall in relation to a mother Donna Glover, who had been covertly videoed, a statement that had been buried with a confidentiality order by the High Courts, a statement that was never ever supposed to see the light of day, was the day that my fate was sealed, I had to be closed down, for statement is the evidence that police and social services covered up for doctors.

The breaking of Jordan Glovers arm in two places and the shaking of a baby during CVS without the intervention by four doctors despite being told that this particular surveillance was not sanctioned by social services because of the risk to the child, is the most damning piece of evidence against David Southall, it proves beyond a doubt that the safety of children has never been uppermost in his mind, it was all research and the end justified the means, over the years he had his own "personal" child protection team that were willing to go along with whatever he said and could actually never speak out against him, because in that one incident where Jordan was systematically abused over and over again without intervention, they had all implicated themselves.

David Swift could have conducted a thorough investigation he chose not to, therefore he is implicated, he has either lied to me in writing or allowed officers to lie to him without checking the facts and that is totally unacceptable, my children were abused by Staffordshire child protection and that is something I will not tolerate. David Southall, Martin Samuels, Carl Bose and John Hewertson are guilty of Criminal Negligence. Staffordshire child protection police officers are guilty of conspiring to pervert the course of justice and despite the best efforts of the police and David Southall, I will not remain silent about child abuse, no matter what is done to me, I will not remain silent.

Penny Mellor

I was interested to find the above.

The group has categorically harassed all doctors they disapproved of. Ms Penny Mellor being their ring leader. A summary of the real material is outlined in www.wickedconspirator.blogspot.com

Ms Mellor is a serial complainer with a chequered past. Her associates are much the same.
We have published a series of pieces on this issue on www.nhsexposed.com . Please do make you mind up.

I though have this to say about David Southall. He is a pioneer in child protection. Unfortunately, these campaigners against him failed the test of logic or rationality. They have a vendetta. Mellor of course fails to mention that her project the Griffiths inquiry was doomed. Southall was cleared in the Nottingham study.

Finally, Ms Mellor has lied in the past to the police. There is nothing to say she will not do so again. She has also attempted to silence both Lisa Blakemore Brown and myself. She and her cohorts instigated a complaint against me that centred on frivolous issues. The complaint was thrown out by the GMC. In the meantime, this group fails to be recognised as dysfunctional and those who do not recognise fact from fiction.

I am not here to make anyone's mind up for them. They should make their own minds up by reading the opposing debate. I am though of the view that Mellor and her cohorts should not be approached by any reasonable rational victim.

Many thanks

Southall faces new hearing
By James Murray
18 March 2007
The Express on Sunday

WOMEN underwent unnecessary caesarean operations to provide premature babies for controversial medical research, claim a couple taking legal action against consultant paediatrician Professor David Southall.

Deborah and Carl Henshall have made the extraordinary allegations to the General Medical Council, which has launched an investigation.

The council has found Professor Southall guilty of serious professional misconduct over his involvement in the case of solicitor Sally Clark, who was found dead on Friday, aged 42.

Today we reveal that Professor Southall and two other doctors have been the subject of serious allegations from the Henshall family. Professor Southall, 59, and colleagues Dr Martin Samuels and Dr Andrew Spencer are all consultant paediatricians at the North Staffs University Hospital in Stoke on Trent. They all deny any wrongdoing and insist they took no part in caesarean operations.

Mrs Henshall had two premature babies at the hospital in 1992.

Stacey died after 60 hours and weighed less than 2lbs.

Sofie weighed 3lb 8oz and, like Stacey, she was enlisted in a medical research trial, which involved them being placed in an incubator, designed to aid their breathing by being partially sub atmospheric.

Professor Southall was running a research study at that hospital and other hospitals to see if premature babies benefited from the unusual breathing treatment known as CNEP.

It is now known that 28 babies died in trial and 15 suffered brain damage.

In a control group where babies were given conventional treatment 22 died and 10 suffered brain damage.

Mrs Henshall said: "When Sofie was born she weighed 3lb 8oz, she was pink and chubby and in good health. When I saw her in the chamber she was grey, dusky and her breathing was laboured, she was grunting. She looked like a rag doll."

Sofie, now 14, survived but suffered brain damage and is quadraplegic, although not impaired intellectually.

She needs help with her movement.
The Henshalls went to the GMC with a series of complaints and when the GMC decided not to proceed because it thought the evidence wasn't strong enough, they sought a judicial review of the decision.

Three appeal court judges then sent it back to the GMC, which is now conducting investigations into alleged serious professional misconduct against Professor Southall, Dr Martin Samuels, who had worked with him setting up the trials, and Dr Andrew Spencer, who had a supervisory role in the trials.

A spokesman for the University Hospital of North Staffs said: "In the light of the allegations concerning the CNEP study which are currently being considered by the GMC, neither the University Hospital of North Staffordshire NHS Trust nor the doctors named in the allegations consider it is appropriate to comment in detail at this stage.

"However, the doctors deny any wrongdoing in connection with the CNEP study and will defend themselves against whatever charges are brought by the GMC in due course."

The GMC declined to comment because its investigation is ongoing.

Another GMC hearing in which Professor Southall is accused of serious professional misconduct for allegedly telling a grieving mother she hanged her 10‑year‑old son has been adjourned until November.

I believe that the conduct of the complaints should be observed. I enclose two pieces of evidence. One from the BBC and the other from a judgment. Many thanks for allowing an opposing view.

The Henshall case

This is a piece from the BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/1658876.stm

A decision by the General Medical Council to clear a consultant of serious professional misconduct for leaking information to the media has been backed by the High Court.
A judge in London on Thursday upheld a ruling on Thursday that Dr Keith Prowse was justified in disclosing a patients’ confidential documents.

He leaked the documents to Channel 4 News in order to counter allegations that a woman’s signature had been forged on a form consenting to the inclusion of her two premature babies in ventilator research trials at North Staffordshire Hospital, Stoke-on-Trent.

The babies were born in February and December 1992.

Authorised disclosure

One of them died and the other was left severely disabled.

Respiratory consultant Dr Prowse authorised the disclosure of the forms to Channel 4 News after Mrs Henshall and her husband Carl approached the station with claims that the hospital used their two daughters in the trials without permission.

The controversial CNEP ventilator

Examination of the documents, the consent form and other forms signed by Mrs Henshall, showed that the signature was genuine.

Mrs Henshall, from Clayton, Stoke, complained to the General Medical Council about the leak of confidential documents.

But in May this year, the GMC committee held that, in the exceptional circumstances of the case, Dr Prowse had disclosed the documents in the best interests of patients.

The committee said the allegations of forgery against doctors in the paediatric department would have seriously undermined the trust of parents and seriously damaged standards of medical care.

Memory lapse

Parents would have been reluctant to accept the advice of doctors they believed to be guilty of forgery.

The allegation of forgery was “entirely false”, the committee said.

Lawyers acting for Mrs Henshall complained that the finding implied that Mrs Henshall had lied.

They said it “coloured” the committee’s ruling to the extent that the whole decision should be overturned.

But on Thursday, Mr Justice Keith refused Mrs Henshall permission to challenge the decision.

He held that the finding did not reflect on Mrs Henshall’s honesty or credibility.

The committee, which had heard evidence that she might have suffered from a memory lapse because she signed under the after-effects of anaesthetic, was simply saying that she had indeed signed the consent form.

The judge also rejected a plea that the reference to the falsity of the forgery claim should be deleted from the record of the committee’s decision because it could prejudice a medical negligence damages claim being brought against the hospital on behalf of her disabled child.

Mr Justice Keith said the forgery issue had no bearing on the pending damages claim, which concerned the quality of the research and care provided by the hospital.

Para 21 of the legally interesting judgment in Henshall states
http://www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/markup.cgi?doc=/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2005/1520.html&query=Henshall&method=boolean

He was specifically concerned that, in breach of an injunction, Mr and Mrs Henshall had sent to the GMC papers that had been stolen from his office. He maintained his refusal of consent to disclosure despite their offer to undertake not to use any information derived from his responses save for the purpose of their complaints to the GMC; he maintained that, because of their behaviour, he had no confidence that they would comply with any such undertaking

------
It is important to remind ourselves that it is evidence that counts and not saber rattling by those who are emotionally overtaken by the issues. I believe Jack Frost's stance on David Southall is extremely unfair and is not based on any scientific evidenc at all.

In answer to the CNEP trials above
the Express states
"It is now known that 28 babies died in trial and 15 suffered brain damage.In a control group where babies were given conventional treatment 22 died and 10 suffered brain damage"

I hope this is helpful. The Griffiths Inquiry into this issue was completely discredited.

This is the Independent Study

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4860888.stm
Baby breathing aid study cleared

Professor David Southall has faced several investigations
A way to help premature babies breathe does not cause long-term harm as previously feared, a study has shown.
Nottingham researchers, unconnected to the original trial in the early 1990s, assessed CNEP therapy - continuous negative-extrathoracic pressure.

It was pioneered by controversial Stoke-based paediatrician Professor David Southall.

The study appears in the Lancet, where child health experts say Professor Southall's work has been vindicated.


Concerns

The Nottingham researchers followed up 133 of the 205 children still alive - now aged between nine and 15 - who were involved in the original CNEP study.

We must protect patients, but we must also find better ways to protect professionals

Professor Sir Alan Craft, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and Dr Neil McIntosh, University of Edinburgh

Half had the CNEP treatment - where pressure is applied to a child's chest to aid breathing.

The rest were given the standard treatment of a breathing tube being inserted through the larynx - part of the windpipe.

After the study was published, some parents of the children given CNEP became concerned after suggestions it was linked to a small increase in deaths and in infants with abnormal brain scans.

This follow-up study found any differences between the two groups of children could be explained by chance.

In addition, no evidence was seen of a higher risk of long-term disabilities for children given CNEP.

Professor Neil Marlow, of Queen's Medical Centre, who led the study, said: "Our long-term study of the original trial participants suggests no evidence of disadvantage, in terms of long-term disability or psychological outcomes, from the use of CNEP."

Protection

Concerns over the CNEP treatment led one couple whose daughter died after the trial to take action against the doctors who treated her.

Carl and Debbie Henshall, of Clayton in Staffordshire, recently won an Appeal Court hearing which said the GMC should review its decision to reject their complaints that doctors did not give properly informed consent to medics for their girls to take part.

The CNEP trial has also been investigated by the hospital twice and been the subject of police inquiries.

The government also ordered a public inquiry into the trial.

But the author of that 2000 report - which was critical of the study - said it would have been less negative if he had had access to fuller information.

None of the investigations has supported parents' claims they were misled and consent forms forged.

In a commentary piece in this week's Lancet, Professor Southall and Dr Martin Samuels, who also led the original CNEP study, welcomed the latest findings.

Progress fears

They added: "We fear that over the last six years many infants with bronchiolitis [a potentially fatal chest infection] presenting to our children's unit have received unnecessarily intensive care."

Professor Sir Alan Craft, President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, and Dr Neil McIntosh from the University of Edinburgh Department of Child Life and Health supported Professor Southall's work.

They said CNEP should probably be retained for older children with bronchiolitis because other techniques have been developed since the original trial to help other babies.

They added: "We must protect patients, but we must also find better ways to protect professionals.

"If we do not, medical progress will cease, particularly in controversial and distressing areas."

The Department of Health said it would look at the findings of the study with interest.

Professor Southall was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the General Medical Council last year, over a matter not related to the CNEP trial.

He had suggested the husband of solicitor Sally Clark, who was wrongly convicted of murdering her two sons, was responsible for the babies' deaths, after watching a TV documentary.

The GMC said he could continue to practise, but he could not work in child protection.

Dear Dr Pal:

Many thanks again for your detailed descriptions. I firmly believe that the only judge in life should be God. Politics, Newspapers and Judges are paid to do a duty. They should not have the power to condemn or alter someone's life. Unfortunately, in the world we live in, we have elected governments and officials who like to play God.

Thanks for staying connected, please send me anything relevant to pregnant women, children, and human rights world wide. I will do my best to promote your point of view...

With love,
Jhilmil

Dr Rita Pal economical with the truth - again

Dr Pal also fails to mention that her "mate" Lisa Blakemore Brown whom she claims to be helping and advocating for, gave evidence against Dr Southall at the Griffiths Inquiry. Does she not mention it because it doesn't suit? Does she not mention it because she isn't aware of this fact, given her very limited knowledge about the history of MSbP and research?

Would you want a doctor who is so econmical with the truth?

Would you trust a doctor who relays information that is facutally incorrect?

Government sets up inquiry into ventilation trial

An inquiry has begun into research conducted at the North Staffordshire Hospital after parents alleged that they were misled into consenting to experimental treatment for their premature babies.

A new type of ventilator was tested between 1989 and 1993 on 122 babies who had breathing difficulties in a randomised controlled trial of a technique called continuous negative extrathoracic pressure (Pediatrics 1996;98:1154-60). Of these infants, 28 died and 15 sustained brain damage. In the control group, in which conventional treatment was given to the same total number of babies, 22 died and 10 sustained brain damage. The authors of the study and the hospital have claimed that the differences are “not statistically significant.”

Several families have complained that they were unaware of the experimental nature of the treatment. Two daughters of Carl and Debbie Henshall, from Stoke on Trent, received the experimental treatment. Stacey died while on a ventilator in February 1992; 10 months later the second child, Sofie, was found to have brain damage. The couple say they only found out about the trial four years later. They say a doctor whom they consulted about Sofie's developmental problems told them the ventilation treatment she had undergone at North Staffordshire Hospital had been experimental.

“They fooled me not once but twice, and I”m angry about that,” Mrs Henshall said. She and her husband say they were told that the new treatment was safer and of proved effectiveness. When Stacey was born prematurely, Mr Henshall signed a consent form after “a clipboard was pushed under his nose,” according to his wife. “Carl presumed this was normal procedure. Carl put his trust in the doctors.”

The NHS hospital trust in Stoke on Trent says that it has signed consent forms for every child included in the study, which was led by consultant paediatrician Professor David Southall and approved by the local research ethics committee.

Eighteen parents of babies involved in the study have lodged complaints with the General Medical Council. An inquiry ordered by Baroness Hayman, the health minister, and headed by Professor Rod Griffiths, regional director of public health for the West Midlands, began taking evidence last week. The inquiry was set up after the Henshalls took their complaint to their local MP for Newcastle under Lyme, Llin Golding, last year.

Dr Simon Newell, consultant in neonatal medicine at St James's Hospital, Leeds, went to see how continuous negative extrathoracic pressure was working at Stoke on Trent in 1991. “I decided to await the outcome of the study before deciding whether we should bring it in at Birmingham, where I was then lecturing in neonatal medicine. I think it was a well conducted study and it addressed a reasonable hypothesis. The question was whether the benefit was sufficient to compensate for the practical difficulties of using it with babies in these circumstances. In common with everyone else, I decided it wasn”t.” That method of ventilation is no longer used for neonates but is still used for older children in a few units

You can get a very good idea about the extent of someone's maladministrations in any community in Britain by visiting any religios congregation where the whole family is encouraged to meet.

Go to any outside Staffordshire and parts of Shropshire and there will be few brain damaged children.

In every congregation in the Stoke area you will find at least one family with a child in a wheelchair, criminally brain damaged.

They will all be damaged in similar ways. The incidence of "normal" abnormalities such as mongolism and attention deficit will be about the same as everywhere else.

So it isn't environmental.

Wierd someone would want to spam such a blog entry with porn.

I see Dr Southall is still smiling. Stoke and North Stafford Health Service is still in deep czjd as has been the case for more than a few years.

All in all nothing new here then -or yet to come. Across the board mismanagement roolz.
