Email sent to WCC and RBKC officials documenting repeated NHS failures to treat respiratory emergencies, with warnings of further escalation
I. What Happened
On 23 November 2024, Polly Chromatic emailed Westminster’s Kirsty Hornal, Director Sarah Newman, RBKC staff, legal representatives, and medical consultant Dr. Philip Reid, documenting a pattern of life-threatening neglect in London’s NHS A&E services.
In the message, Polly described how her children, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir, were repeatedly denied adequate asthma care, improperly assessed, and sent home untreated — despite clear symptoms of respiratory distress. Medical staff reportedly became defensive when questioned, failed to use basic diagnostic tools properly (e.g. misplacement of thermometers), and treated the family as suspect rather than unwell.
Rather than escalate within hospital premises, Polly administered prescribed medication at home, logged everything, and sent this dispatch to social services to pre-empt further safeguarding misuse.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
Procedural breaches: A&E refusal to follow asthma care protocols; improper temperature readings; failure to listen to lungs properly
Human impact: Delayed recovery, risk of respiratory crisis, psychological trauma from medical hostility
Power dynamics: Disabled mother blamed for child neglect while professionals ignore medical duties
Institutional failure: Ongoing NHS resistance to treating visibly ill patients; deflection of risk onto parent
Unacceptable conduct: Reversal of blame; framing respiratory protection as maternal misconduct
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the hospital staff weren’t just underperforming — they were actively hostile.
Because this wasn’t one bad night — it was a culture of antagonism toward visibly disabled families.
Because when a parent calmly administers prednisone at home to avoid another violent encounter with A&E, the institution has already failed.
Because Polly Chromatic should never have had to write this email.
And now that she did — we’re archiving it.
This document makes it clear: if Westminster continues to cite NHS authority as credible in its safeguarding frameworks, SWANK will cite this record — and demand structural accountability.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989, Section 17 – failure to meet the health needs of children with chronic illness
NHS Constitution, Patient Rights – right to safe, respectful, and effective care
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 3 & 8 – degrading treatment; interference with family and private life
Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – failure to provide accessible, disability-informed care in emergency settings
Common Law Duty of Care – breach by NHS A&E personnel in paediatric asthma cases
V. SWANK’s Position
We do not accept that A&E is a battleground.
We do not accept that families should leave sicker than they arrived.
We do not accept that safeguarding frameworks can ignore NHS negligence while punishing disabled parents for intervening.
This wasn’t parental hostility.
This was medical abandonment.
And SWANK will document it — line by line, symptom by symptom, protocol by protocol.
