Dear all, Please forward and also press reply all to spread the campaign and see our letters on our website, http://www.neurodiversityinternational.org.uk/libertys-failure-with-disabled-people.shtml#reaction . Colin's figures for "hours employed" by Mervin Goring are weekly. I can confirm that there have been constant problems, as far as I can see, with getting Mr Goring to do anything. Yours Adrian Whyatt, Chair, Neurodiversity International (official capacity); RADAR Trustee, Personal Capacity. 2009/5/7 Colin REvell <[log in to unmask]> > > Adrian, Linda, Nick, Mike, Clair, Tom et al > > I was relying on my advocate Mr Mervin Goring to organise and plan this > meeting with Liberty. As you all know Mr Goring has been paid nearly £80,000 > for just 12 hours a week for over 2 years and he has continually failed to > act in my best interests in this matter and all other aspects of my care.
