Dear Parliament, I Now Hold You Responsible.

Dear Parliament,

Re: Safe treatment and care of my entire family, please.

In response to the multiple unlawful discharges of my loved one (and me) by irresponsible clinicians, and the now incomprehensive dual-diagnosis ‘treatment pathway’ they are on, I will ask you, with sincerity, to support every stakeholder you are responsible for managing towards the following outcomes for my family:

– To ensure that no further unsafe discharges occur.
– The allocation of a designated consulting psychiatrist and a specialist psychologist, both determined to see the patient through to recovery.
– The right prescription.
– A legitimately ethical Dual-Diagnosis Treatment, Care & Recovery Pathway to be delivered in a clinical setting and in the community.
– For Chris Hill, well respected and experienced addiction recovery coach, to be contracted as a vital third-party stakeholder.
– For a known-to-be-successful dual-diagnosis clinical team to plan the way ahead.
– A clear, discernible, complex recovery pathway.
– That my mother gets more than the limit of 30 therapy sessions with the NHS or a safe, steady, scaffolded recovery pathway towards her legislated destiny of health and independence from The State?  Our suffering is immense, to limit her help is to further refuse a client of the NHS a safe discharge and full recovery, just as she is owed by law.
– To fund my recovery pathway, considering there isn’t one allocated to me as an unsafely discharged patient of the local NHS mental health foundation trust.
– To enable treatment, care and recovery support to the point of reclaimed independence, health and financial stability for all family members.
– Oh, and do reinstate my retired father’s free gym membership, won’t you?  You stole something health-sustaining from him with that budget cut, as you will have from a number of others surviving on a government pension.  Moreover, whoever signed the dotted line and prevented him from continuing his own trauma recovery pathway, the only one he carved out for himself, is now responsible for further complex damages incurred by my family unit.

As you will notice, all I ask is for legislated outcomes to be delivered to us, presently, if at all possible.

I also request the following, as a point of necessity:

– That you, in good faith, invite me to share, privately and confidentially, the videos, audio recordings, photographs and letters sent to the NHS over recent years.  I would also appreciate The Emergency Services offering up the recordings of our many calls to 999.  This is the only way you can come to see why I have forcefully driven this issue into your awareness.
– A team of impartial lawyers to help me prepare the delivery of evidence to you all, with the additional attendance of key individuals, the likes of Professor Sir Simon Wessely and his team, as well as Amanda Pritchard, the Chief Executive of NHS England.  The same lawyers will be used to bring the case before a High Court Judge and a jury, for that is the only ethical outcome here, as you will come to see.
– A formal parliamentary inquiry into the treatment and care failures regarding my entire family unit, as well as other victims of this social injustice that I have met so far.
– A halt on the Mental Health Act Reform until all of this relevant data is examined thoroughly and factored into the changes ahead (it would be wise to wait for the outcomes of the collective advocacy projects too).

This specific case has been brought to your attention in full awareness of the multiple crimes committed and recurring failures in duty of care that have resulted in untold damages for my family.  Do appreciate that I write with the full backing of a plethora of powerful, indisputable evidence behind me, evidence I hope to use to expose a flaw in the system, one that is creating victims of unethical consultants and other, perhaps unqualified, responsible clinicians.

As a point of ethical forward motion, I ask that you request for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 News to advertise the Advocacy and Social Wellbeing Projects, namely the following safeguarding avenues, in order to prompt an immediately available public response to the crisis:

– Report an unwell person in the community, someone who should be in hospital receiving treatment:
UNSAFE PERSON REPORT (UK ONLY)

– Report a person who has been discharged unsafely from NHS inpatient or outpatient services, someone who has not been treated into a form of recovery pre-discharge and is still declining:
REPORT AN UNSAFE DISCHARGE FROM THE NHS TODAY!

– Report, via the memorial, someone already lost because The NHS and Social Services failed to do what is legislated and to safeguard them and treat them back to health:
Memorial for the dead and hopeful messages for the dying…

– Let the professionals stand beside us, let us fight for a system that upholds current legislation:
Professional Witness Statement Collections

– Service users are able to help us collect evidence via the UK National Data Collection Project, a development that sees transparency injected with immediacy when they copy us into their fight for ethical and lawful outcomes.  The aim is to collect enough data in the years ahead, of the damages inflicted by failing services, and to take our evidence to The High Court.  The public can copy us into any emails sent regarding the following ‘fights’ for what is owed, by law:

As the ultimate responsible party, I do pray that you engage with the material delivered to you, namely the publication, Manifesto for Change: Dual-Diagnosis and Disparity (2024), which offers up a solution to the wider invisible crisis at hand.  Much legislation has been violated for my family, but there are other patient cases of mistreatment, other contexts, within which the following Acts of Parliament must come under scrutiny, alongside real patient case studies of experience, which is what I would expect the designated team of lawyers to do on our behalf:

– The Mental Health Act (1983);
– The Capacity Act (2015);
– The National Health Service Act (1946);
– Health and Care Act (2022);
– Health and Social Care Act (2008);
– The Care Act (2014);
– The Equality Act (2010);
– The Human Rights Act (1998);
– The Children Act (1989);
– Children and Social Work Act (2017);
– Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act (2006);
– Carers Recognition Act (2008);
– Public Services (Social Value) Act (2012);
– Corporation Tax Act (2010);
– The Parliament Act (1911/1949); and also,
– Care Quality Commission Regulations (2009), NICE Guidelines, and likely additional legislation, regulation and policy I have not yet discovered.

The law is the law.  I read The Mental Health Act (1983) from front to back, I know what went wrong, where it went wrong, and based off of this complex, underfunded, negligent service experience, I built a new system design, one holding the potential for immediate impact when it comes to saving the lives of other complex patients lost to the dangers of underfunded, poor quality, ineffective, outdated, and oftentimes bias treatment and care paradigms.  Manifesto for Change: Dual-Diagnosis and Disparity, offers up a plausible, manageable, contained solution to this national crisis and The Unidentified Pandemic of Mental Health Decline.  During Covid, you showed us what was possible, please redirect such determination towards the safeguarding of an acutely vulnerable UK-based demographic, that of mistreated psychiatric patients… and please start with my loved one, who has endured enough poor quality treatment and care.

I do comprehend that there is a lot to digest, I also appreciate that you are likely busy people.  However, when it comes to national risk-to-life scenarios, I am sure you can find the time.

Yours faithfully,

Ana Maria Santuario.
