Hmmmm Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Roxanne said: A contentious letter at that. I mean, just imagine if the good lady doctor decided to take this further and proof of said letter was to be presented to an official body. You’d think a minister would have thought that one through and filed it away somewhere very safe. Somewhere that wasn’t a shredder. Completely jaw dropping response to the FOI request. A Walter Scott saying springs to mind - Web/ weaving etc. Given the circumstance and public airing, it is totally unfathomable why anyone, particularly someone of prominence, would destroy the provenance of the subject matter.

I meant from a private individual to their MHK as opposed to someone writing to a Gov. Dept. But you knew that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It was addressing him as minister, so in his official role and on the subject of Government business. Furthermore if he wished the letter to be treated as private then why did he make it fully public ? I smell a long fella !!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's to ashy in his capacity as health minister it's not personal, it's official and to destroy it is clearly against the GDPR regs 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just love confusing the situation. But Ashford claimed that the letter was from a member of DHSC staff, so how likely were they to turn down a direct request from their boss? If the story is true it was clearly an offer that couldn't be refused. The more you look at this the worse it gets. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 This is becoming comical now. Time to bin it, before it gets to schoolyard level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
