20th May, 2022.  It is now exactly four years to the day that I met with CAMHS General Manager, Wanda Reynolds and former head of services at CMHT, Basingstoke, Vikki Long. That meeting, held at The Bridge Centre, was ahead of my formal complaint about the care Meg and I had received from CAMHS and CMHT. https://www.fourandtwentydeadcrows.com/post/four-and-twenty-dead-crows-24-trust-issues


It has been ten days since I last posted to this blog, the longest that I’ve ever gone without writing something about my trials with mental health services here in Basingstoke. The truth is that four years of fighting for accountability and justice hasn’t been easy.


The core of my complaints, originally made on the 20th May, 2022, remain unresolved while new complaints have ploughed into the back of old ones like a motorway pile up. The single black hole of my complaints against CAMHS art therapist, Sally Mungall, is still being processed by her regulatory body, the Health and Care Professions Council after it became apparent that they hadn’t actually seen much of the evidence that I had forwarded. It is my reasonable assumption that the high turnover of staff at the HCPC has contributed to the loss of files and documents. The Investigatory Panel stage of the ‘fitness to practice’ complaint against Sally Mungall was postponed from the 11th February, 2026. There has been no confirmation of a rescheduling of the Investigatory Panel and the ‘fitness to practice’ complaint is still pending.


Regular readers of my blog will already know that I was falsely reported by Sally Mungall to Hampshire Police for a series of gross offences in September, 2022. While I was not criminally charged and ‘no further action’ was taken against me, those gross offences were recorded as ‘occurrences’ and retained by Hampshire Police on their local databases. I have protested against Hampshire Police to have those ‘occurrences’ removed from their local databases, first by way of THREE hunger strikes and then, in June, 2025, by way of peaceful protest outside the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street and Trafalgar Square.

That peaceful protest incurred a wholly inappropriate referral to the government’s counter-terrorism initiative, Prevent.

 

Over the last ten days I have been canvassing solicitors and lawyers seeking help in my efforts to bring Hampshire and IOW Healthcare Foundation Trust and Hampshire Police to court over that same inappropriate referral of me to Prevent. That referral was made on the 18th June, 2025, almost a year ago. It took the referrer, former Head of Nursing at CMHT, The Bridge Centre, Gemma Stubbington, just three days to secure permissions and advice from the Safeguarding Board of the Trust and Hampshire Police and complete the National Prevent referral forms. The referral was actioned, assessed and closed by Prevent officer, Dawn Jenks DC 25487 - Hampshire of Counter Terrorism Policing South East within another three days. Yet, my efforts to hold Gemma Stubbington, the Trust and Hampshire Police to account have been cynically obstructed and is still ongoing.


I met with Darren Humphrey, Director of Quality and Professions for the Trust on the 8th April, 2026, the second such meeting to discuss my complaint about the inappropriate Prevent referral. The excuses for the referral, conveyed through Darren, were risible and need further challenge by me. A summary of that meeting with Darren is still outstanding.

I have made new complaints to Hampshire Police about the inappropriate Prevent referral, first directly to Chief Constable of Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary, Alexis Boon on the 17th March, 2026 and second via the Independent Office for Police Conduct on the 8th April, 2026. Both complaints are still outstanding.

 

20th May, 2025. I forwarded a feedback letter to the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman at their request. On the 18th March, 2026 I received an email from Lawrence Hall. This is part of that email.

‘Dear Mr Mark Stock and Luke Murphy MP

Our original case reference: C-*******

I work in the Ombudsman’s casework team, known as the Ombudsman Assurance Team. Among our responsibilities is reviewing challenges to our casework decisions.

Unfortunately, it appears we failed to act on Mr Stock’s feedback letter, which was first shared with us on 20 May 2025. Please accept my sincere apologies for this oversight. On this occasion, our service appears to have fallen below the high standards we aspire to.

To address this, we will now carefully consider and respond to Mr Stock’s feedback letter.

With regard to Mr Stock’s challenge to our decision not to take further action on his complaint, I will review this thoroughly and provide a detailed response. I aim to send this response within four weeks… 

Yours sincerely  

Lawrence Hall

Senior Ombudsman Assurance Officer – Ombudsman Assurance Team .’

The feedback review was promised for delivery on the 8th April, 2026. Since then Lawrence Hall has written to me THREE times to advise me of delays. The feedback review is still outstanding.

 

It is now exactly four years to the day that I met with CAMHS General Manager, Wanda Reynolds and former head of services at CMHT, Basingstoke, Vikki Long ahead of my first complaint against CAMHS, Bramblys Drive, Basingstoke and CMHT, The Bridge Centre, Basingstoke. While I have doggedly fought for accountability and justice against incompetence, negligence, misrepresentation, outright lies and almost certain corruption, I have become increasingly worn down by the process. The last ten days have been a particularly difficult time; my most formidable adversaries are debilitating depression and insidious suicidal ideation.


I need some hard results and I need them soon.
