Dear Foi (NHS NEL CSU),

I am referring to the request to your Thanet Chair MARCH 2018 to question member Clive HART about breaches of (Rule8) statutory duties to report environmental hazards to health.

This request was some weeks before your chair attended a meeting about stroke units with Thanet District Council circa 5th April 2018

Thank you for your efforts so far

Yours sincerely,

Richard Card

Dear Foi (NHS NEL CSU),

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/r...

Your response there seems to have neglected that it is a statutory duty on Thanet District Council (Rule 8) to report environmental hazards to health. And your duty I assume under 2006 and 2012 acts. re clinical anticipation etc

I followed up your FOI response by reporting to your then Chair as I wrote above

In the environmental hazards to health there are cyclohexanone and polychlorinated biphenyls and t oxic residue of firefighting foam. All of which were and are also over water supply aquifers. So their chemical toxins do not recognise a barrier to cross from environment and take up residence in population livers lungs thyroids in the body these are superpersistent etc

At the moment your Sec of State for Health is not answering that the biggest health inequality of Thanet is they do not have a rticle 11 rights to safe water. the water has been unsafe 56 years to date And all I am asking the Sec of state is warranty the water coming outa QEQM taps And so far he can't

Because TDC were breaching statutory duties you were unable, even if you wished, to declare to court in Rose the colorectal cancer risk correlating to polychlorinated biphenyls

Clearly you knew the problem a year before the stroke unit decision was delivered.

I hope this also may help you locate records I seek Best wishes

Yours sincerely,

Richard Card

Dear Foi (NHS NEL CSU),

I am rererring to correspondence sent March 2018 to Dr MARTIN. And what action he and CCG and his sucvcessors took

The CCG process was not consistent with law of statutory duties as TDC concealed environmental hazards to health. Currently this is being concealed from High Court contrary to law of adverse disclosure in the HASU judicial reviews.

During your delay the international Stockholm Convention has classified PFOA (Firefighting foam toxic residue .. IE meaning Manston aquifer source of Thanet water supply) as "Annex A"

The implications of this may be huge. Not least epidemiology and blood testing. The USA are moving towards moving toxic threshold from 177 parts per trillion to 1 part per trillion.

The greatest health inequality in Thanet is they have had a compromised water supply for 56 years and counting. And are thus denied international rights to safe water. Your secretary of state has been asked to declare this to High Court and sign a statement of truth if he feels even QEQM water is fit for purpose, And that boy aint signing !!

There are two toxic contaminations that raise cholesterol. Professor Black years ago said things aint as simple as lifestyle factors and lifestyle advice This is such a case THANET

QEQM stands amid a weapons of mass destruction chemicals remediation. Alongside burials of toxic PCBs drawing water from a toxic source.

It makes no odds to me if your chair jumped ship after being told. The fact is he and hence CCG were told. And the fact is it is a matter subject of statutory duty.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Card
