The Quiet Collapse of Duty: NHS Watches While the Parent Schedules the Rescue.

⟡ “Three Children. One Mother. No System.” ⟡

The hospital never called. So the mother emailed — again — to offer all available times.

An exhausted but composed email to Dr Philip Reid reveals ongoing respiratory concerns in three of the author’s disabled U.S. citizen children, and institutional reliance on her willingness to self-schedule crisis care.

---

I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, Polly Chromatic emailed Dr. Reid requesting an appointment for three of her children: Heir, Kingdom, and Prerogative — all showing signs of respiratory distress.

• Heir had been in critical condition earlier

• Kingdom was deteriorating

• Prerogative, though improving, remained unwell

The tone was calm. The message was clear:

“I can come in whenever you want.”

The email ended with a reminder that she would take them to A&E if needed — a threat disguised as grace.
She copied Kirsty Hornal and Laura Savage for accountability.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Escalating respiratory symptoms in three vulnerable children

• Lack of proactive scheduling by the consultant

• Reliance on the mother’s flexibility and silence

• Documentation of worsening conditions and clinical concern

• Continued disregard for parental disability and family burden

---

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because one mother shouldn’t be scheduling her own child’s emergency care.
Because she shouldn’t have to follow up — again — when her children can’t breathe.
Because this isn’t parenting — it’s triage.

---

IV. Violations

• Duty of care breach by NHS (Reid) through delay and non-response

• Passive safeguarding neglect by WCC (Hornal)

• Breach of disability recognition protocols (verbal exemption ignored)

• Systemic failure to implement proactive health interventions

• Undue burden on a disabled caregiver to manage three vulnerable patients alone

---

V. SWANK’s Position

There is no drama in this email.
Only danger.

It documents three children at risk —
and a mother offering to make herself available
at any time
on any day
to a system that refuses to call her back.

The Risk Was Medical. The Refusal Was Historical.

⟡ We Stayed Home. Because the Last Time, the Hospital Refused to Help. ⟡
“She chose a nebuliser over an emergency room. I didn’t blame her.”

Medical update submitted to Westminster and NHS documenting home treatment for Honor’s respiratory distress following previous hospital-based trauma and institutional refusal to act.

---

I. What Happened

On the morning of 21 November 2024, the parent emailed both Westminster Children’s Services and GP Dr Philip Reid to confirm:

• Her daughter Honor was undergoing albuterol nebuliser treatments at home

• Oxygen levels remained low but within watchable range

• The parent was monitoring the situation and would escalate to hospital if needed

• Honor refused to go to A&E — citing trauma from previous visits where she and her mother were dismissed despite medical crisis

The message reiterated that this is exactly what had happened to the parent previously:
six months of untreated respiratory failure while being accused of non-compliance.

So this time, the family stayed home.
And this time, the system still stayed silent.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• That the child’s oxygen levels were being actively managed with medical oversight

• That the family had previously experienced institutional dismissal at hospital and feared repeat trauma

• That the NHS was informed, as was the safeguarding authority

• That no response, support, or safeguarding review followed

• That refusal to seek care was a rational response to institutional harm, not neglect

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a child refuses to go to the hospital because she remembers how it felt to be disbelieved,
you don’t have a clinical problem —
you have an institutional injury.

Because when you choose to treat at home not out of defiance but out of trauma,
you are not refusing care —
you are refusing harm.

And when you warn them in writing and they say nothing,
they’re not documenting risk.
They’re demonstrating it.

---

IV. Violations

• Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3 and 8
  Exposure to degrading treatment and interference with bodily autonomy and family protection

• Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
  Failure to respect disability-based limits on hospital care and verbal communication

• Children Act 1989 / 2004
  Inaction following explicit notification of a child in medical distress

• NHS Safeguarding and Risk Protocols
  Failure to respond to declared medical harm avoidance and home-based mitigation

---

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a wellness update.
It was an institutional indictment.

We didn’t stay home because it was safe.
We stayed home because they made the alternative worse.

So we wrote it down.
And now — we filed it.

You Demanded Medical History, Then Refused to Hear It.

⟡ They Asked for Her History. Then Interrupted Every Time I Tried to Give It. ⟡

Written report of St Mary’s A&E misconduct during Honor’s respiratory crisis, including disbelief in parental account, repeated interruption, and refusal to read prior medical documentation.

---

I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, the parent attended St Mary’s Hospital A&E with her daughter Honor, who was experiencing dangerously low oxygen levels.

Instead of:

• Listening

• Reading the attached clinical data

• Or responding with urgency

The attending staff:

• Interrupted the parent repeatedly mid-sentence

• Dismissed concerns with visible irritation

• Refused to engage with provided evidence

• Accused the parent of “not answering properly” — after refusing to let her speak

The parent documented the incident in an email immediately upon returning home, addressing it to Westminster Children’s Services and GP Dr. Reid.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• That Honor was not taken seriously by A&E staff, despite pre-documented oxygen distress

• That the parent was disbelieved and silenced, despite having medical evidence

• That the clinicians demanded history, then actively obstructed it

• That this occurred in the context of active safeguarding surveillance, yet no institutional accountability followed

• That institutional disbelief continues to operate as a default — especially toward disabled, female, and racialised parents

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you say “my daughter can’t breathe,”
and they say “we don’t believe you” —
that’s not medicine. That’s misconduct.

Because when they ask for a history,
but refuse to let you speak,
you’re not a parent —
you’re a problem to be dismissed.

And because silence under oxygen strain is not a gap in your narrative.
It’s an indictment of theirs.

---

IV. Violations

• NHS Constitution – Duty of Respect and Responsiveness
  Dismissal of medical concern, failure to read provided history

• Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
  Degrading treatment and interference with parental dignity and child welfare

• Children Act 1989
  Neglect of clinical urgency and refusal to engage with parental safeguarding role

• Equality Act 2010 – Sections 20 & 27
  Disability adjustment ignored, retaliatory silencing, gendered dismissal

---

V. SWANK’s Position

We didn’t interrupt them.
They interrupted us.

We didn’t withhold information.
They refused to hear it.

This wasn’t triage.
It was theatre.
And the script was already written.

Now we’re writing our own.

📎 Download PDF – 2024-11-21_SWANK_EmailComplaint_NHSStMarys_HonorOxygenDismissal_MedicalHostility.pdf
Formal complaint to NHS and WCC regarding mistreatment at St Mary’s A&E, including refusal to acknowledge Heir’s medical distress and dismissal of parent’s documented history.

---

I. What Happened

On the evening of 21 November 2024, the parent brought her daughter Heir to St Mary’s Hospital A&E following GP guidance to seek immediate medical attention for dangerously low oxygen levels.

Upon arrival:

• An intake nurse recorded oxygen at 97% with condescension, after hearing the child’s history

• Oxygen soon dropped to 95%, triggering agreement to wait

• The attending A&E doctor dismissed the parent's records and interrupted her repeatedly while she attempted to explain

• The doctor openly stated: “I don’t believe you”

• A second doctor, less defensive, eventually agreed to evaluate Honor properly

The parent emailed both Dr Philip Reid and Kirsty Hornal immediately after the encounter — noting the hospital’s ongoing pattern of hostility and medical dismissal toward her and her children.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• That a parent followed clinical advice and was met with suspicion, interruption, and disbelief

• That the child's oxygen was dangerously low earlier that same day, and was treated as inconvenient rather than urgent

• That medical records were dismissed out of hand, and legitimate concern was treated as defiance

• That the parent, visibly disabled, was forced to speak over a doctor in order to protect her child

• That the NHS continues to treat trauma-exposed, disabled mothers as adversaries, not patients

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a doctor says “I don’t believe you” to a mother in A&E, that’s not miscommunication — that’s institutional contempt.

Because when you explain that your child has low oxygen and bring physical records, and the system responds with hostility, doubt, and delay,
you are no longer seeking treatment. You are documenting negligence.

This wasn’t a misread.
This was routine abuse of clinical power —
and this time, it’s archived.

---

IV. Violations

• NHS Code of Conduct – Duty of Care
  Failure to deliver respectful, responsive emergency care

• Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
  Degrading treatment of disabled parent; interference with health and family life

• Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
  Dismissal of verbal disability and medical advocacy

• GMC Guidelines – Patient-Centred Care
  Ignored documentation; hostile tone; refusal to hear clinical history

• Children Act 1989
  Failure to treat a child in respiratory distress during an active safeguarding plan

---

V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a triage error.
It was clinical misconduct.

We didn’t bring assumptions.
We brought a record.

They didn’t treat her.
They disbelieved her.

And now they are archived — not because they failed to help,
but because they actively chose not to.

The Oxygen Was Low. Their Accountability Was Lower.

⟡ The Child Was Hypoxic. I Emailed Everyone. And They Escalated Anyway. ⟡

Written update to NHS and Westminster Children’s Services regarding Honor’s medical emergency, oxygen desaturation, and hospital referral — sent while the family was under active investigation.

---

I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, the parent emailed both Westminster Children’s Services and NHS GP Dr Philip Reid to report that:

• Her daughter, Heir, was suffering from critically low oxygen levels

• At-home treatment with a nebuliser was raising oxygen only to 93%

• They were attempting stabilisation at home to avoid traumatic A&E refusal

• The GP confirmed that an immediate hospital visit was medically necessary

• Records were attached; communication was written-only due to a respiratory disability

Despite the medical nature of the email, and the fact that safeguarding staff were directly copied, no support was offered— and procedural escalation continued as though the family had said nothing at all.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• That Westminster Children’s Services was aware of a serious respiratory emergency involving a child

• That the parent coordinated medical response via her GP and shared the outcome with the safeguarding team

• That this communication occurred in the middle of an active safeguarding plan — yet was treated with silence

• That the parent again referenced her own disability and need for email-only communication

• That the institutional response was not care — but tactical indifference

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when your child is experiencing oxygen levels below clinical thresholds and you still have to write the email yourself, it’s not a communication breakdown —
it’s evidence of neglect at the institutional level.

Because when safeguarding staff are informed of a hospital referral and say nothing,
that silence isn’t neutrality. It’s liability.

And because when a disabled parent sends medical records to the local authority — not as evidence, but as plea —
you don’t just escalate the file. You expose the institution.

---

IV. Violations

• Children Act 1989 / 2004
  Failure to respond to or record critical medical updates during an active child protection plan

• Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8
  Interference with family and private life under duress and disability

• Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
  Ignored written-only communication request due to respiratory disability

• NHS Safeguarding Protocols & Duty of Coordination
  Breach of collaborative responsibility between health and safeguarding professionals

---

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a family in crisis.
This was a family in treatment.

This wasn’t a safeguarding risk.
This was medical data sent under pressure.

And what did they do?
Nothing. Because any response would have made them accountable.

So now we make the record.
And they can try to catch up with the archive.

You Got the Prescription. And Still Filed the Report.

Email submitted to Westminster Children’s Services documenting Honor’s hospital treatment, medication protocol, and discharge plan following respiratory crisis. Safeguarding concerns persisted despite full clinical cooperation.

---

I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, shortly after Honor was discharged from hospital for respiratory distress, the parent:

• Sent a summary of the treatment plan to Westminster

• Confirmed Honor’s condition, prescribed medications, and follow-up steps

• Included factual details from the hospital discharge process

• Noted that NHS staff had escalated a safeguarding referral — not because care had been refused, but because it had been questioned

The parent’s message was clinical, correct, and complete.
The response was silence.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• That Honor received medical treatment, medication, and follow-up protocol

• That Westminster had no basis to suggest medical neglect

• That a disability-informed, clinically engaged parent was still viewed with suspicion

• That the real concern wasn’t the child’s care — it was the parent’s noncompliance with institutional power

• That full transparency was met with administrative hostility

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you send them the prescription,
and they escalate you anyway —
you’re not being reviewed. You’re being profiled.

Because when treatment isn’t the problem,
but you are —
they’re not protecting children.
They’re preserving control.

We gave them the plan.
They gave us a file.
So we gave them one back.

---

IV. Violations

• Equality Act 2010 – Section 27
  Victimisation for asserting rights and questioning institutional action

• Children Act 1989 / 2004
  Misuse of safeguarding referral powers despite confirmed clinical treatment

• Care Act 2014 – Coordinated Care Obligation
  Failure to work in partnership with parent and medical provider

• Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8
  Interference with family life post-medical care without cause

---

V. SWANK’s Position

You asked what happened.
We told you.

You received the treatment notes.
You filed a concern anyway.

This wasn’t about care.
It was about compliance.
And we don’t comply with misconduct.
We archive it.
