Crock of shit

Peter Byrne of Gheel Autism Services rings me, he had a meeting with Carol Doolan Dublin North Disability Manager yesterday, who stated she was very concerned about me and my family, she asked Peter who I have only met once and he has never met my eldest, what she should do in the way of services, he told her to leave it until he had spoken to me, that he is going on holiday. He told me that he has asked Martin to contact me regard a meeting, I tell him I have given up contacting Martin myself as I had texted and rang and got no reply, he asked me what number I had for Martin,  yes he said that is the right number, he said it was very unusual but I could take it up with Martin when he contacted me. I ask what has he done about Dr Shah's report and recommendations, he tells me that will all be discussed when he returns from his holiday.

Martin of Gheel calls me, says he cannot remember getting any texts or calls, I said they are still logged on my phone, he says he does not know how it happened and he is sorry. He wants to meet me next week.

I ring the Disability Manager Carol Doolan's Dublin North HSE office and say I want a face to face meeting so she can personally meet the woman she told Peter Byrne of Gheel Autism Services she is very concerned about and I would like to introduce myself.

I also want to ask her

1/ Why has she not contacted me directly if she is so concerned, she has my contact numbers.

2/ Why is she asking Gheel Autism Services what she should do in the way of services when they have not met my son nor asked me bugger all about him.

3/ Why was I not informed about any meeting regards my family.

I am told that Carol is not free, I am then asked am I sure I am in the right catchment area for them, I said off course I am otherwise, why on earth would I be ringing you, my number is taken and I am told I will get a call back. No one calls me.
