I can assure you the public are treated with utter contempt by organisations like the NMC, PHSO and of course the NHS. Thank you for trying to protect the public.
In theory that's right, and I told the two consultants at the time that they were carrying out an illegal, if not criminal act. However, they seemed confident that they'd never be held to account for it and they were right. The coroner went off sick later, never returned and, astonishingly, the bereaved family found out several years later that all records of the inquest except for the narrative verdict had been destroyed/erased... I reported it to the GMC, as I'm obliged to, and their reaction was that disobedience to a coroner fell below, but not materially below the standards expected of a consultant and took it no further....

You CANNOT refuse a Coroner's Order. How did they get away with that? The Coroner could imprison them.

The PHSO are just as bad, truly sorry you've been targeted by them a service designed for those less fortunate. Hats off to u sir!
