Dear Ms Pearce, 12-07-19 11.45 am
This is a preliminary response. I first asked Mrs Leslie Darke, Executive Director of Estates and Commercial Development at TSDFT, in October 2018 whether staff leaving before retirement were asked in a kindly way their reasons for leaving. She was a board member. She was obliged under the Freedom of Information Act to reply to my simple question within 20 days, and without a need for me to cite this STATUTE and her obligations under it. I asked her again and received this -
21-12-18 Dear David, Thank you for your question. Via this e-mail I will ask my colleague the Director of Workforce to respond to your question. Happy Christmas to you too. Kind Regards Lesley
I heard nothing from the 'Director of Workforce'.

I woke early, for a usual visit, and with a sixth sense and sensitive antennae of the natural sort, switched on that which the Foreign (and Commonwealth/Colonial Office/Windrush) Office was pumping trough the World Service which it funds from our taxes. It calls itself ‘The world’s radio station’. It is a canny mix of the excellent broadcast and obvious propagandare nero (PN). It is switched from BBC Radio 4 just after the beguiling lullaby Sailing By and a ‘’News’’ clip.
There was ‘news’, around 4am of the Dictator, and ‘Crown Prince’, Mohammad Ben Salman – MBS to you.
Every citizen of Britain, be they either asleep or outraged by a country lowered by design, should see and hear every word of this comedy for tragedy

I joined PSC in Nov 2002, having decided to ACT against the crucifixion of the Palestinian people. (My quote - Dr Abulafi - whilst I was closing up an operation - some years before in Torbay Hospital. 'You know what they are doing to us in Palestine Mr Halpin?' 'I have a fair idea 'Issa' { = Jesus} ' YOU HAVE NO IDEA, NO IDEA'' I had more time and the energy in spite of a drug I had been prescribed 1992 >)
My cheque, for the meeting + a generous donation to funds, and letter sent to the PSC in October 2002 - chairman Betty Hunter and secretary Hilary Wise. I turned up at the Institute of Education, Malet St on the date in November 2002 for a big and good meeting. Heard that UK doctors with antibiotics for children in Gaza had been turned back by the Gestapo. I was incensed. Me - I will take a ship so large that these most evil, life denying people will not be able to stop me reaching the people of Gaza.

Dear Colleagues,
Slept short last Friday - of course. Just missed 'Sailing By' - a peaceful, synthetic music lullaby, the best of the BBC. Shipping forecast - recalling the exquisite science of meteorology, the skills of the merchant marine and the courage of fisher folk.
Woke to World Service, funded still by the execrable FCO, 'The Real Story'. Excellent. Ecological scientists patched in from Norway, Germany, Spain, Britain and the US - Richard Roberts Nobel what? the stain. The most informative and stolid - Doug Parr, Chief Scientist of Greenpeace.
Then the switch at 5.20am BST to the black propaganda. Houthi 'rebels' withdrawing from the 3 ports - Hadeida + as per a peace agreement forged in December!! No mention of £4+billion BAe arms sales to the current decapitators of 47 dissident voices. A UN woman spokesman - in tune with prop. But later, the great uplift. A black bird's song at dawn -
