To Whom It May Concern:

RE:  WILLIAM FINNERTY, ** **** ******, ******, BT79 8HH

I have been this man's general practitioner for the last five or six months.

Over this period I have met William on eight or ten occasions and I have access to some records from the psychiatric hospital about him and I've also had some communications with Gerry Madden Senior Psychiatric Social Worker at Lissan House in Omagh.

As a result of prolonged conversations I have come to some conclusions and they are as follows:

Firstly that William's symptoms and behaviours are the result of traumas and stresses over years and these traumas and stresses have come at the hands of individuals and public officials and bodies that he has encountered in his struggles to try to correct environmental wrong doings.

He has suffered considerable frustration at not being able to get legal representation and indeed has been refused legal aid as well.

On reviewing the depth and range of his symptoms he has got PTSD Complex as a result of all his traumas.

I think William's mental health is very much at risk and any attempt to produce undue pressure on his mental state will certainly have a detrimental effect.

William has been through enough and needs support and understanding for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and I hope he can be given sympathetic handling by the officials with whom he comes into contact.

Yours sincerely,

Dr McCavert.
