There are three distinct issues in this situation.http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU1104/S00509/acc-statement-regarding-sensitive-claims-client.htm
The first is the general management of the client’s claim, and ACC will be providing a report to the Minister on this. If any problems are identified we will absolutely address those for the client.
The second is whether there has been any inappropriate access to the client’s information. We will also investigate this. Separately, Dr Jansen has also requested we do so.
The last issue is about private legal action related to comments made on a blog. ACC continues to have no comment to make on this issue. Media queries on this should be referred to Izard Weston.
ACC will be making no further comment on this matter at this stage.

Curious... if Dr Jansen was working for ACC for the actions which caused him to allegedly be defamed by the blogger; aren't ACC, as his employer, required to ensure that he isn't bullied or suffers any mental injury as a result of his duties? So why weren't they informed of the blog, and why don't they have a comment? Why aren't they protecting their employee as part of their employment obligations?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you have got to be kidding me?
ReplyDeleteDr Jansen wants a public apology?
EXCUSE ME AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?? IN MY HONEST OPINION DR JANSEN MAY BE SUFFERING FROM YET ANOTHER DSM4 DIAGNOSIS AND THAT IS ONE OF BEING UNDER
'DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR' AND MAYBER HE HAS SOME LOSS OF MEMORY PROBLEMS AS WELL; DEMENTIA MAYBE
1. There have been problems identified by many clients of the ACC SCU. Most are still waiting for replies to acknowledge their complaints have even been recieved. How is anyone meant to have confidence in such a system.
ReplyDelete2. Maybe Dr Jansen didn't directly access the clients details, but someone connected to him has, or how else would he have got them? Who did he chase up to get those details from, and where did he get the information to know, who to ask for them? The mere fact he or his lawyer had them, proves their guilt in this matter.
3. The private legal action is about a senior staff member suing a client for criticising his professional competency, whilst working for ACC. They are involved, they need to be involved, and legally they have a responsibility to their client as well as their employee. What at typical cop out by this dysfunctional tax payer funded organisation.
Yes you are right. Another New Zealand "UNFORTUNATE EXPERIMENT, that has literally destroyed the lives of many - and has resulted in deaths as well.
ReplyDeleteSo does it mean then as part of her defense she can point to the failings of her claim and of the SCU lead by Dr. Peter Jansen but he can't use any information from ACC (her emails to him there etc) to answer her claims?
ReplyDeleteHow can ACC say this is a private law suit when it clearly involves them too at one level or another? Poor old Dr. Jansen can't use Denise Consgrove now as his public relations person or ACC's lawyers. Seems he will have to stand accountable while ACC hang him out to dry! Lets not forget there are no golden hand skakes these days. I hope do hope the doctor has deep pockets because his lawyer will be getting very RICH from this :)
Well, ACC may wish to stay out of it, that's fine but at the end of the day the comment is about Dr Jansen as the face behind the SCU and not as a medical doctor or anything else. All Jax has to do is prove he is incompetant in that role and it's not defamation. Given the Independant Review Report last year and the recent unanimous vote of no confidence in Dr. Jansen by his peers and the clinicians working in the sexual abuse area at the recent 6 month monitoring group meeting and the way he has dealt with Jax it shouldn't be too hard to prove.
ReplyDeleteBut at the end of the day the piece is funny and I very much doubt anyone reads it to be serious. The Judge rules as to what the majority of the general population would see it as and not how Dr Jansen views it. It's no worse than what any comedian would write, draw or say. Dr. Jansen is just a my honest opinion a little to thin skinned and precious to be is such a position.
