CONTENT WARNING Suicidal ideation   It has been a week since I last posted to this blog. The last several days have been a huge challenge for me as I wrestle with my demons and overwhelming suicidal ideation. I had been considering making this blog entry a suicide note but held off until the death compulsion eased, if only a little. It is a recurring issue for me as I wade through the accumulation of literal years of struggle with mental health services. I have a fascination

THE PREVENT FILES # 7 “We remain committed to holding organisations publicly accountable when it comes to FOI compliance. If public authorities fail to deliver a transparent service, it questions their integrity and their ability to meet their legal obligations.  Those making FOI requests should do so, knowing that they will receive a response in a timely manner with adequate advice on any next steps that can be taken. And those failing to meet their basic duties, should and

Today is a notable anniversary. It has been exactly one year to the day since my daughter Meg first engaged in therapy with Dr Matt Sopp, addressing the most serious and debilitating aspect of her mental health issues, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Meg’s appointment with Matt yesterday was her THIRTY-NINTH psychotherapy session! Most people believe that Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is just a collection of odd habits like excessive handwashing, turning light switches o

THE PREVENT FILES # 6 It has been almost EIGHT MONTHS to the day since Gemma Stubbington referred me to counter-terrorism following my written statement to PEACEFULLY PROTEST outside the Houses of Parliament on the 24 th  June last year. My records confirm that it took Gemma Stubbington just THREE DAYS between raising concerns with the Safeguarding Board of the Trust and actually filing the PREVENT referral with Emily Taylor at Counter Terrorism Policing South East. I have be

I am publishing today’s email correspondence between Sadie Bell, me and the ICO. The account of the injustices relating the referral of me to PREVENT and the troubling issues surrounding the obstruction of my access to my personal data being held by Sadie Bell is embedded in a much wider story that spans more than SEVEN YEARS and TWO NHS Trusts. It had been my intention to update the national press on the more recent chapters of my harrowing experiences of mental health servi

THE PREVENT FILES # 4   ‘Unaccountability’ is the quality or state of being unaccountable, meaning not responsible or answerable for one's actions.    Sadie Bell’s email that arrived through my inbox on Friday, February 6, 2026 and published in Latest Issues 7th February, 2026 is, unequivocally, a collection of statements defending the ‘Unaccountability’ of Gemma Stubbington, Susan Corley, the Safeguarding Board and, by association, the entirety of the Hampshire and IOW Healt

THE PREVENT FILES # 3   Before I go further and publish the email thread between the Director of Information Governance at HIOWH Trust, Sadie Bell and me from last Friday, 6 th February, 2026 I will explain the following. I had received my most recent medical records from Larissa Cleverely, Admin/secretary ACP at HIOWH Trust on the 9 th September, 2025. I replied with a new request on the same day… ‘Hi Lara,  I wrote to you on the 9 th  September, 2025 requesting 'Please fo

THE PREVENT FILES # 2 Holding healthcare professionals to account for their decisions is akin to playing a tortuous game of snakes and ladders, more precisely the Indian version where snakes outnumber ladders. Formal complaints processes are plagued by veritable cobras, kraits and vipers while the ladders are rickety, rotten and rare. I am still waiting for the Health and Care Professions Council to agree to the full ‘scope’ of my fitness to practice complaint against their r

THE PREVENT FILES # 1 Regular readers to my blog will be aware that I was referred to the government’s counter-terrorism initiative, PREVENT on the 18 th  of June, 2025 by Gemma Stubbington,  former Head of Nursing at CMHT, The Bridge Centre, Basingstoke. I remain adamant in protesting Gemma Stubbington’s referral and maintain that she did so recklessly and without due care and attention to me or to the National Prevent Guidelines. Almost immediately after becoming aware of t

I have been busy, this week, compiling documents relating to the appalling referral of me to the counter-terrorism initiative, PREVENT. These documents form part of a legal brief for the attention of lawyers affiliated with the rights group, PreventWatch. I have been asked to provide as much information to PreventWatch by the end of this month. Unfortunately, recent Subject Access Requests for my personal data held by Hampshire and IOW Healthcare Trust and, separately by Hamp

The following is a work-in-progress. I will add to and edit this table of contents over the coming days until I have itemised all twenty-four parts of the first chapter of my blog. FOUR AND TWENTY DEAD CROWS TABLE OF CONTENTS   FOUR AND TWENTY DEAD CROWS #1 'Emergency!' Published Aug 19, 2024   My daughter, Meg, is first admitted into CAMHS services after more than two years on a waiting list and we are introduced to Mark Birbeck who is appointed as her psychotherapist.

I am now fully committed to compiling a comprehensive legal brief to be submitted to lawyers affiliated with PreventWatch*.  I intend for this work to be a thorough and persuasive written argument challenging the appalling decision by authorities within Hampshire and IOW Healthcare Trust to refer me to Prevent, the government counter-terrorism initiative, last year. This legal brief will be supported by all evidence available and cross-referenced against the government's Pr

It has been over a week since I last posted to this blog, an unusually long time for me, frustrating but unavoidable. My time has been spent compiling the fourth and final part my submission of evidence to support the full scope of my ‘fitness to practice’ complaint against Health and Care Professions Council registrant, Sally Mungall. ‘PART FOUR Summary of FULL SCOPE of complaints against HCPC registrant, Sally Mungall’ concludes a comprehensive and detailed submission of ne

I am going to take this opportunity to respond to some questions posed by followers on my other social media sites, particularly friends over on Facebook. I am posting my responses for the consideration of my wider audience across all of my social media sites including this one at www.fourandtwentydeadcrows.com . The predominant question raised in most enquiries is concerned with the complexities of my experiences with mental health services in Basingstoke, with particular re

There have been some updates worth sharing. There are TWO significant updates from yesterday, the 9 th  January, 2026 The first update is the following email from Emma Bundy Concerns & Complaints Co-ordinator CONCERNSANDCOMPLAINTS (HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST)   Sent:  Friday, January 9, 2026 2:27 PM To:  Mark Stock ******************************* Subject:  *****: Access to records - Mark Stock ***** ‘Dear Mr Stock, My sincere apologies for the

My attempts to hold individual clinicians, management and leadership staff affiliated with NHS mental healthcare services in Basingstoke to account continues to be delayed and obstructed. I had expected to be spending my valuable time on my New Campaign to raise widespread national awareness of my story but my attention has been diverted. First, I have needed to resupply ALL previously submitted documents to the Health and Care Professions Council ahead of an Investigatory C

Welcome back to my blog here at Four and Twenty Dead Crows and the first post of LATEST ISSUES for 2026. The Christmas holiday delivered a much needed distraction following another extremely stressful twelve months. My effort to hold individuals and institutions to account for clinical neglect, misrepresentation, false criminal allegation and potential corruption continues unabated. The statutory regulatory bodies responsible for protecting the public by regulating health and

I had not intended to post anymore entries to this blog until the 5th January, 2026 but I received the following email earlier this morning 'Dear Mr Stock I refer to your email below.  It is not for me to comment on another organisation’s response to your Right of Access Request. Please note that I will not respond to any further emails from you in respect of any request you have made to another organisation.

This is the final post of LATEST ISSUES for 2025.

This work was completed yesterday and resubmitted to Matt Jonkers at the HCPC to support the FULL SCOPE of my ‘fitness to practice’ complaint against registrant Sally Mungall. The case will then be heard by the HCPC Investigating Committee Panel on 11 February 2026. A fin
