The circumstances are as follows:
My brother committed suicide whilst an inpatient at a private psychiatric hospital.
The private psychiatric hospital failed to provide safe and adequate care and breached several of the standards/requirements as provided for in the Mental Health Act 2014.
Immediately after my brother's death, my parents and I received very limited and conflicting information with regard to the details surrounding my brothers death.
After nearly 2 weeks we were finally provided with the opportunity to meet with management and treating medical practioner. Initially, we were told the internal review was complete the meeting was to be provided with a copy / discuss the report which had been finalised. However at the meeting we were told the report would be provided to us, interestingly during the meeting despite being told we would be provided with a document responding to all the questions asked during the meeting neither the CEO or Director of Clinic took or had any notes or documents in front of the during the meeting nor was the meeting minuted.
Given my concerns with regard to the accuracy of information and fraudlent misrepresentation of the facts surrounding my brothers death, I decided to record the meeting on my iPhone.
Anyway as it turns out based upon the clinics records etc the information we were provided during the meeting was selective, false and misleading. I believe consisted of fraudulent misrepresentation and a cover-up
My brothers death is the subject of a Coroners Investigation - likely inquest and investigations by Dept Health and governing bodies
Based on these circumstances can I :
1) Acknowledge / disclose I recorded the meeting and
2) Can the recording be used / realised?
