APPENDIX 90
Memorandum submitted by Mrs A
I am writing in response to a letter which I
received from the Press Complaints Commission.
In 2001 I had cause to write to the Press Complaints
Commission following an article in my local newspaper (the Guernsey
Evening Press) which has caused a breach of medical confidentiality.
The unfortunate article had severe repercussions at the time,
and has severely affected my life to the present time.
I contacted the Commission at that time, and
they were incredibly sympathetic and helpful, securing a written
apology (after several attempts!) from the Editor of the Guernsey
Evening Press.
I would not hesitate to contact the Commission
again should the need arise, although I sincerely hope that it
will not.
Should you wish to contact me for further details,
I would be happy to help you. I would prefer to keep my details
anonymous.
