Letter to the Chairman of Companies House

The first time Declan had any dealings with Companies House - the government body charged with registering all companies in the UK, including non-profits - he was told that Network of those Abused by Church was an "offensive company name" (see blog of 17 January 2011 Companies House refuses to register NAC: "Offensive company name"). We have since assumed that the high profile US organisation Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) would be told by Companies House to change their name if they want the company incorporated in the UK.

This time round it has taken Companies House an entire week to inform Declan that when it comes to annual returns, the Head Office in Cardiff, Wales doesn't acknowledge receipt of documents filed on paper in their London office which are then delivered across the country to them by overnight van. This afternoon Declan's annual return was accepted and placed on the public record, but who's to say they could not have turned around come our deadline next Wednesday and say that they didn't have an annual return from us and therefore they are legally entitled to shut us down. What would happen then is even more concerning: the company Network for Church Monitoring would pass to the Crown because it doesn't have a legal owner, and if Declan wanted it back he would have to get a court order.

There is still the outstanding issue of Declan's dormant company accounts which have yet to appear on the public record:

Are the police sending in the NHS medics?

Write an open letter to Prime Minister David Cameron enquiring if a warrant has been obtained for the property you live in - which the Home Office will neither confirm nor deny - and you could have one of the most notorious NHS psychiatric hospitals in the UK at your door! As Declan points out in his letter to the Prime Minister (published in the previous blog), neutralized MI5 whistleblower David Shayler, aka Delores Kane, lived for a couple of years in one of the rooms below us, until 2007 more or less.

I actually went down to the front door a little over an hour ago because I saw our live-in landlady, human rights activist Belinda McKenzie, by her car and thought it was her who was ringing our bell. Instead I found two women at the open door, both insistent that they needed to talk to Declan but wouldn't tell me who they were or what they needed to speak to Declan about, only that the police had sent them. In the end, one of them gave me a note and this is how I learnt that she was Dr Therese Shaw, consultant psychiatrist from St Ann's Hospital, and her companion a social worker called Kate Walsh.

St Ann's Hospital has a terrible reputation. In 2003 an inquest jury found that a man who died after being restrained by police there was unlawfully killed. And of course there is "Baby P", a 17-month old boy who died in London after suffering more than 50 injuries over an eight-month period. Three days before Baby P was killed, he was seen by a doctor at St Ann's. We don't know what they want to talk to Declan about, and we have absolutely no interest in finding out!

According to Wikipedia, St Ann's Hospital has until recently been largely a mental health care facility, however, it now also provides outpatient services.
