Peter's Mobbing Group I have resisted writing about Yvonne for sometime now. My dealings with her were brief really. I don't think she is the worst lawyer in the world but then she isn't the best. A few years ago, I regretted recommending her to Dr Giri Katti. Giri was never dishonest, he had simply been fitted up by his Trust. It was probably one of the biggest injustices the General Medical Council has ever had. Yvonne was supposed to represent at the appeal but never did. Ever since this episode, I try not to recommend lawyers at all. Giri was left all alone to fight his appeal. He should have won. Had he been represented, he would have won. I don't think I have forgiven Yvonne for this issue but then again I never mentioned it to anyone until now.
The other person represented briefly by Yvonne was Lowick One. He wasn't impressed with her either. So overall, there we have it. She is now at the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal fighting for her registration. Well, there are worse lawyers than her. I don't quite like the manner in which she propagates junk science. The Daily Mail states
The referral to the General Medical Council arose after Ms Hossack had a disagreement with the grand old man of Psychiatry Peter Jefferys. Interestingly, rumour has it that Peter Jefferys was originally an expert for Ms Hossack then decided to fight for the other side. Isn't that a conflict of interest Peter?
Hossack then referred Jefferys to the General Medical Council. Did Yvonne really think that the GMC would take up a complaint against one of their grand old men? Predictably, the GMC threw her complaint out. Hossack on the other hand left herself open to an attack by Pete. Peter Jefferys began to act like a grumpy old bat and decided to refer Yvonne to her own regulatory body [the SRA]. And there we are - Hossack is the girl caught between two middle aged baggy ratty old shrinks. It isn't a good place to be. From the way I look at things, there are sexier men in the world and lets face it, there is nothing sexy about Bad Boy Jefferys. These shrinks haven't grown up at all since their days at play school. Freud would have a thing or two to say about them both.
It should be noted that Peter Jefferys was also instrumental in referring Helen Bright to the General Medical Council. He was also responsible for ruining her career. The question is, with this kind of behaviour, can anyone trust Peter as a appraiser for revalidation?
Back to Yvonne, well she has done a admirable job of defending herself. I am sure if she had made enough effort for Giri Katti, he would have been a free man as well. The fact is Yvonne never cared what happened to Katti. What did happen to Katti? Does anyone care about this. Yvonne though cares very much for herself.
She got Alan Johnson out of his crypt to support her. She rallied the media with her martyr image. Martyr images are good because the media always likes a good hero story. Yvonne is no hero but we can all pretend she is. She needs to win because she is caught in a trap now. The media representation is really a tactical method of winning. I am not sure what the Solicitor Disciplinary Tribunal thinks about this but I doubt Antony Townsend will be phased at all.
An interesting twist to the tale and the link between all these interesting stories is Antony Townsend. Antony is a creepy little ex General Medical Council minion. Many years ago, I was told that Antony possessed a list of " difficult doctors" who were essentially "fitted up". It took me a while to discover who Antony Townsend was and of course, I note that he is indeed Chief Executive of the SRA. His days at the General Medical Council are left far behind but it may explain why no complaint against General Medical Council solicitors are ever taken up by the SRA. The prosecution of the Yvonne Hossack may make sense now - it becomes a neat triangle between Jefferys, the GMC and the SRA. It only takes a inflated innocent allegation to be caught in the net created by Antony Townsend. He was rumoured to have been responsible for the events in 2000 related to me and my whistleblowing on Ward 87. The General Medical Council are yet to respond to my questions. So we all wonder what Antony Townsend did at the General Medical Council in the name of the medical profession.
In conclusion, Yvonne does not need to have her registration affected. She has failed to monitor what was being done to her. It appears that she was so busy that she simply got caught by the net set out to trap her. A challenge should have been mounted much earlier. Now the SRA or the establishment has her and they will do what they need to do with her. The kind of net she is involved in will eventually cripple her by destroying her reputation and ultimately destroying her livelihood.
Peter Jefferys and David Jolley in the meantime will continue their shot of Baileys while sitting on their leather chairs and guffawing away about how clever they all are. Power is a wonderful thing for psychiatrists, especially for them. Control is an even better weapon for both of them. In the end though, we know them to be boys who never grew up to be men. Just that their playgrounds got bigger and their toys became a little more complex. As a casual observer, we look at them from the outside and wonder why one of them prays to God. Their reports are just as evidence based as the existence of God :).

Well, I haven't seen any research that shows an increase in mortality once a person moves residential or care homes. No doubt it was another one of those issues invented by Professor David Jolley who peddles his own brand of psychiatry. The background of the care homes scandal can be seen here. For a lawyer, legal aid can be a big money maker and every lawyer appreciates an opportunity. Every lawyer is an opportunist."Yvonne Hossack, 53, saved at least 80 care homes by representing their powerless residents. She successfully argued the effects on those being moved are so traumatic that they can prove fatal"
