The Nurse - 13. Subject Access Request (SAR) 28.09.2023 – Documentation
Ms Laura Dunne PIN 112441 - Staff Nurse at St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny
Ms Eva Pearse, Authorised Officer, Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) stated in her email to me dated 28th September 2023 “A complainant is required to obtain such documentation, if possible, directly from a healthcare facility”. I was directed, incorrectly in my opinion, by Ms Eva Pearse to obtain the following documentation, if possible, directly from St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny myself and this was clearly outside of PPC Procedures 2021 – see my post titled: “The Nurse - 12. The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) - Blood from a stone!”:
Therefore, it was necessary for me to send a Subject Access Request (SAR) on 28th September 2023 by email to the Data Controller of St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny in order to obtain the documentation as follows, by following the instructions the HSE provided on their website at that time:
My SAR was then forwarded the same day by email to the following:
My SAR was further forwarded by email on the same day to the following:
I received formal acknowledgement of my SAR the same day by email and letter as follows:

LETTER:
More than one month later on 31st October 2023, I received a response letter from Mr Declan Kelly, General Service Manager and Data Protection Officer, St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny where he stated the following:
Mr Declan Kelly, General Service Manager and Data Protection Officer, St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny provided me with the following NIMS Incident Summary Report which had the first line of the ‘Summary of the Incident’ redacted.
I note that the Incident Create Date of the Summary Report is 15/02/2023 and this was more than six weeks after the date of the incident on 01/01/2023. I find the date that this report was created highly suspicious.
I note that the NIMS Incident Summary Report was created the day after Ms Helen Butler, Director of Nursing, St Luke's General Hospital, Kilkenny responded to my complaint by way of a letter dated 14th February 2023, which was sent to me by email on 15th February 2023 by Ms Alison Mulloney who states below in her email dated 15th February 2023 that she is the “Patient Liaison Officer, Consumer Affairs, St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny”. However, in the letter above dated 28th September 2023 she states that she is the “Consumer Affairs Manager and Data Protection Decision Maker, St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny” and is therefore, making decisions on the release of data where she herself had involvement with its creation, which appears to be a conflict of interest:
The letter dated 14th February 2023 from Ms Helen Butler, Director of Nursing, St Luke's General Hospital, Kilkenny was in response to my complaint dated 1st January 2023 where she had clearly not found the details as described in the NIMS Incident Summary Report which was created 15/02/2023, the day after Helen Butler, Director of Nursing wrote this letter to me.
Therefore, who created the NIMS Incident Summary Report dated 15/02/2023 which contains an untrue, unfactual and spurious account of what actually happened which was witnessed by a number of people? It can clearly be seen from the response I received from Ms Helen Butler, Director of Nursing that the NIMS Incident Summary Report is not a factual account but is actually the opposite of the truth and was not in existence at the time of Ms Helen Butler, Director of Nursing’s investigation into the incident complained of – see my post titled: “The Nurse - 1. My Complaint”.
In addition, Ms Laura Dunne PIN 112441 at no point asked who I was and her statement “wouldn’t give me name” is an outright lie.
The only person who carried out violence, harassment, aggression, intimidation and threat causing non-compliance, obstructive and rude was Ms Laura Dunne PIN 112441 - Staff Nurse at St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny.
I would like to know “who” created the NIMS Incident Summary Report dated 15/02/2023?
Mr Declan Kelly, General Service Manager and Data Protection Officer, St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny also provided me with a 140-page redacted document, which was clearly a thrown together poorly presented combination of my letters of complaint regarding the incident on 1st January 2023 and hospital staff responses to me. This document contained a lot of handwritten scribbles in various places over the top of photocopied emails and letters and is evidence that no proper investigation took place. It appears that rather than dealing with the matters complained of, the hospital management allowed this nurse to continue in her role. The handwritten scribbles throughout the 140-page document indicate that the person who compiled the document and sent it to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) had a desire to obfuscate the matters complained of.
The NIMS Incident Summary Report and the 140-page document had been sent to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) by the management of St Luke’s General Hospital, Kilkenny as a legitimate investigation into the incident complained of, which it clearly was not.
