The last time the US's coding structure for G93.3 and R53.82 was discussed at an NCHS/CDC ICD-10-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee Meeting was at the public meeting held on 11th and 12th September 2018. At this meeting, two proposal options had been presented by Donna Pickett (CDC)...

Tom Chivers writes: Meant to add in my previous post that his: "And they put all that in some long feedback, which, they say, was not then reflected in the final document. And none of this feedback was made public." might be read as implying that NICE had an agenda in holding back their...

Tom Chivers writes: This has probably already been mention: stakeholder comments and NICE's responses to stakeholder comments are scheduled to be posted on the NICE guideline Project Documents page shortly after the finalised guideline is published, as they were with CG53 (2007). If Chivers...

Thanks, I'd be interested. It was early 2016 when I was collaborating on a series of three requests for information. I didn't know until that March that Hanlon had died in the February, aged 51.

The term I was struggling to recall is "domestic extremist". Guardian article from 2011: Are you a 'domestic extremist'? How to ask if you are on police databases Rob Evans and Paul Lewis explain how the Data Protection Act can open up police files. Plus a step-by-step guide to making your...

"Wessely lists his tormentors, who cannot be named for legal reasons. Convictions, for harassment or threatening behaviour, are difficult to obtain. The person who telephoned him to say, “We will come and get you soon”, did not leave a name or address, nor did the man who said he was going to...

I think Hanlon wrote, in the article, that he could not get hold of a copy of this list, but then later he was shown a copy and the "same names kept coming up" or words to that effect. But he fudged who had shown him this alleged list, ie he did not clarify whether it was a copy of an official...
