C Matthews and DOH rules
Dear Department of Health (Northern Ireland),
I was written to on 31 Aug 2022 by Chris Matthews,
Chris Matthews Deputy Secretary, Resource Corporate Management Group.
He stated
1."Your communications have included the use of abusive and offensive language towards members of staff, including personal attacks and accusations. "
Please outline all examples of this as a DSAR.
2. Please outline all evidence that exists, that communications from myself caused any damage in any way to DOH staff.
3.He ordered me that:
"When you are contacting the Department, there must not be any other third party email addresses copied into the email, and DOH email addresses must not be attached as copy recipients to any other third party organisations."
What written source did he use for this order? (Why are DOH staff not wanting third parties copied, to be informed about DOH failings?)
4. he orderded me that
"You must not publish on social media any personal data or correspondence of DOH, which remain private and confidential in nature"
What soucre did he use to order me not to publish, in the public realm, answers from public servants whose decisons affect the public? (Why would any of that be confidential or private? what are DOH hiding?)
5.please outline C Matthews' annual salary.
6.Please outline what "Resource corporate management" is.
7. Please outline C Matthews' remit.
Yours faithfully,
Joan Corrigan
