Andrew Barker, Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Hospital Group, needs to investigate Marcus Carpenter’s behaviour. It does not seem to me consistent with employment in healthcare.
MHN editor Sam Smith had a disturbing experience this week when a local Facebook group took a deranged, murdery, turn, including threats of criminal violence supported by the group’s unpleasant administrators. The person in charge is called Markus Carpenter (real name Marcus Carpenter) – a WGC man who tries to subtly conceal his identity, perhaps because there have been allegations against him previously, but who I have positively identified as a Phoenix Hospital Group employee – he claims the title of “Group IT Services Manager”. Based on his behaviour, no one in their right mind would deal with this company – if this is the sort of character Phoenix hire, that is a significant safeguarding concern, no one should go near it and NHS commissioners need to investigate whether this person has access to patient records or any sensitive information.
I do not use Facebook much. I keep in contact with close friends and family as well as occasionally read local groups. Recently, I found a lost wallet and handed it in to the police station. I reunited it with its owner via a Facebook group. A few days ago I saw another post in the same group, a group founded and administered by Markus Carpenter (real name Marcus Carpenter) of Welwyn Garden City. Members were accusing a local man of being a convicted paedophile. I will call him, “Bob”, a made up name, to avoid worsening the situation. A brief Google search could not find evidence of his conviction so I asked for proof. The reason for my concern was the threats of violence.
A local builder plans to assault an alleged paedophile, Bob. The poster, Ryan Reynolds, himself has prior drugs convictions including a year-long driving ban.
In the post to the right, local residents talked of their desire to harm the alleged offender, Bob. A ‘renovator’ called Ryan Reynolds said he was going have his hand, “slip across his face” a few times before others talked about how the alleged offender needs, “putting down”.
Ironically, Reynolds himself is a drug offender. He received a 12-month driving ban after being caught driving whilst weeded-up (archive). Such behaviour endangers other road users, including children and the elderly. I recommend people never hire Ryan Reynolds as a builder or renovator, or anything really. Not only is he a convicted drug user, but he is also, if he is to be believed, violent. Imagine hiring a violent drug user to work on your home and then having an argument about his bill.
