We reported last Friday a parliamentary question asked on notice to the Qld Minister for Health in which it was alleged that:
solicitors representing Qld Health … fabricated reasons in order to obtain an innocent man’s psychiatric and medical records [and]… deceived the Ombudsman and previous Health Minister, into believing they were ‘directly relevant’ to his wife’s medicolegal claim…
It was alleged in anonymous comments sent to us that the solicitors in question were Minter Ellison and that the partner in charge was Simon Alroe, a recently de-equitised partner of the firm.
In response to that post, we received the following comments from an anonymous ex-Minters spy:
I do not know anything about the dispute between Simon Alroe and Minter Ellison as it blew up after I left Minters. However, the Question on Notice relates to a matter in which I was personally involved. Simon signed the correspondence as he was the supervising partner. I can assure you that the records WERE directly relevant to this man’s wife’s medicolegal claim. Any suggestion of dishonesty or misleading conduct is incorrect. You ought to give this feedback as much prominence as your original story rather than tucking it away as a comment.
We trust this is prominent enough, however we would be obliged if further details about this “direct relevance” were sent to us so that the Firm Spy readership can pass judgment on whether an act of dishonesty or misleading conduct occurred. We urge Mr Alroe to contact us.
