Non Responders

In my efforts to obtain support for this campaign (to get compo for users of A-Typicals who contract Diabetes), I wrote to the following leading politicians and mental health academics, campaigners and journalists. All but one (now two) failed to acknoweldge my letter. Even a follow up letter was ignored:

Professor Appleby (DoH) – no response.
Zac Goldsmith MP – no response.
Ron Coleman (Campaigner) – no response.
Prof Fulford (University of Warwick and Oxford) – no response.
Richard Bentall, University of Manchester – no response.
Ed Milliband – responded - has written to MHRA (09/11/11).
Lord Jones – no response.
Paul Farmer (Mind) – responded and are helping me.
Marjorie Wallace (Sane) – no response.
Paul Jenkins, (Rethink) – no response.
Ben Goldacre - The Guardian - no response.
And just today leading psychaitrist Dr Alex Mitchell said he would be happy to help (see http://www.psycho-oncology.info/). Still waiting for the others...
