European Hormone Cartel and Steroid Research at Ipswich

Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust did not have the information requested.

Dear Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust,

In 1936 a research cartel of pharmaceutical companies set up to monopolise research especially into corticosteroids. The Dutch company prominent in this cartel was owned by Van Zwanenberg family.

Please disclose if Ipswich consultant 1960s 70s Van Zwanenberg was or was not from this family.

Concerrning Ipswich Hospital widespread destruction of research consultants records you may note that J G Howells was a colleague at Royal Medico Psychological Society of Dr Kenneth Milner of Aston Hall Derby. The police inquiry into the late Dr Milner has identified 58 offences for report to CPS. There is no doubt Howells at Ipswich was contracted to Cambridge University to conduct research on Suffolk families (without their knowledge or informed consent the same as Paulley with steroids). Paulley was also a colleague of Royal Medico Dr Rees at psychosomatics research assn. Paulley also had interest in adolescence in school and industry. I am not surprised you destroyed the records without audit trail. Or were the records stolen by the consultants like their colleague Milner at Aston Hall and their colleague Sargent at St Thomas ?

Simple FOI was your consultant from the same Van Zwanenberg family of the European Hormones cartel ?

Yours faithfully,

Richard Card

Dear Information.Access,

Thank you. The issue is not one of "Genealogy" it is one of business interest and exploitation of unwitting patients for research purposes.

Your Ipswich Family Psychiatric Centre (Actually a research asset of Cambridge Uni) is an institution before the Independent Inquiry Child Sexual Abuse. Its research was complementary to that of your consultant J W Paulley. Paulley was also a researcher into adolescents in industry and university and for this was backed by the Think Tank Institute of Economic Affairs.

The fact is Ipswich Hospital has a shameful Mengele history and your widespread destruction of records, even at a time records were under litigation disclosure request, rather shows that to conceal the truth you obstruct justice.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Card
