Updates & Info on Nicky's Case

It is the third Mother's Day since Jane's son Nicky died, while supposedly receiving 'high quality' care from the Waikato DHB's Henry Bennett Centre. The care was terrible, resulting in Nicky's death, and Jane dissects the sham story put out by the DHB.

A completely inadequate, self-serving report by DHB officials, designed to help the DHB avoid having to take any significant responsibility for Nicky's death.

Imagine a little short man with glasses, a pronounced limp, and wearing sandals no matter the weather..... that's the de-registered USA psychiatrist 'Dr' Paul Fox, who was Nicky Stevens' primary 'doctor' in his previous visit to the Henry Bennett Centre, who started the drug regime he remained on. Oh, and he was also de-registered in NZ soon after it was discovered he had been the 'psychiatrist' who treated Adam Lanza - the mass murderer of 26 kids and teacher at Sandy Hook School in Connecticut

Read here the leaked Terms of Reference into the Waikato DHB's mental health services - the one the Minister of Health ordered when the DHB employed the fraudulent psychiatrist; and below the letter from Nicky Steven's family to Minister Coleman raising their concerns about the biased nature of the 'Inspection'.

A report from Nicky's mother Jane, and colleague Anne Ramsay about being barred from the MoH's public meeting they tried to attend at Hamilton's Pathways mental health service; and the conclusions they drew from their experience.

The Police told Nicky's family to pull down a post exposing the stolen identity used by the fraudulent psychiatrist employed by Waikato DHB - this is an email exchange later in the day (29 July 2015) between Nicky's father & the police officer.

This letter outlines 4 dodgy psychiatrists recently employed by the DHB, another Service staff member with a horrific background, plus several security and management failings, and asks Crawshaw to investigate them.

Many people making comments on these pages and otherwise speaking to us have suggested it would be a good idea to bring affected families & friends together for mutual support, and to strengthen our collective voice. We agree, but its a lot of work, and we are lucky that a number of friends and supporters have offered to help. We also want to do something in our son and brother's memory that might help others in a similar situation.

According to DHB Board Chair Bob Simcock

IT'S A LETTER FROM NIGEL! - DHB CEO PROMISES TO THINK ABOUT THINGS (letter received on 17 July 2015 by Nicky's family today following their meeting on Wednesday with the DHB bosses)....

In the 4 months since Nicky's death, 13 different enquiries are supposed to have been completed - or at least started (most haven't been) - from the DHB to the Police to the various Departments and agencies, sitting on their hands is obviously a favourite pastime - see this chart for a graphic description.

The head of the Waikato DHB's Emergency Dept 'Dr' John Bonning attacked Nicky's father for demanding a meeting with hospital managers to find out about Nicky's treatment after he was first admitted following a suicide attempt; ex-Communications Direct Maryanne Gill made wildly incorrect comments to the Ministry and Minister of Health about Nicky's family, and DHB Board Chair 'apologised' while fanning the flames with obnoxious comments...

The full copy of the Policy Communications North call centre call taken when the Henry Bennett Centre rang in to report Nicky missing - note the several times police were told about Nicky's suicide risk [but no search started until over 2 days after this]

This originally contained the statement given to Police by Nicky's mother Jane Stevens. Even though it is a public document, it has been removed until the Coroner's hearing at the demand of the highly-paid lawyer representing the DHB psychiatrist who Nicky's family believes bears significant responsibility for his death.
