That is all from us. Newsnight is on BBC Two in a few moments, asking | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
what lessons the flood have The Good evening. | :00:00. | :00:25. | |
Two more families who lost children after heart surgery have come | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
forward to express their concerns about their care at the Bristol | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Children's Hospital. This follows Friday's announcement that there's | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
to be an inquiry into several deaths of children over recent years. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Tonight the hospital maintains its results are safe, although it will | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
be co`operating with the review Our Health Correspondent reports. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
This is the only video taken of Harley Pascoe in the days before he | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
died when he was just twelve days old. It's treasured by his parents | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
who to this day his parents are still searching for answers as to | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
why. They say his operation last October was cancelled five times | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
because there was no intensive care bed available at the Bristol | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Children's Hospital. And by the time he was given surgery, his condition | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
had deteriorated. Nobody ever said it was urgent when we were at the | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
hospital. It was not until he had an echo the day before the lead at his | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
operation noticed the duct in his heart was closing up so they had to | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
double his dose of drugs to keep it open. Batters when he became an | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
emergency and was operated on the next day. The guy doing the heart | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
echo said that he wanted him to be operated within a couple of days. He | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
said it was surprised it took 1 days to operate, but he didn't know | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
about it. The family say they have been told by the hospital that in | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
the first operation a device called a shunt had dislodged. So he had to | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
be operated on again. He died eight hours after. The hospital say Harley | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
was not considered urgent at the time, which is why children with in | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
a more serious condition had to be seen first. Another recently | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
bereaved couple joined us. They happen to live just a few miles | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
away. Stephen Snelton and his partner Vicky lost their daughter | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Mia Leigh last July, when she was just 11 days old. But still say they | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
have heard nothing from the hospital about their Child Death Review for | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
several months. I don't know what I should be doing. Nobody has | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
explained to me. They promised us that she would always be one of our | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
patients and they would keep in touch. I have had nothing. The | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
hospital says it has written to the family but not heard back yet. One | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
concern families share is over how the trust has communicated with | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
them. Last Friday the medical director of the NHS announced an | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
inquiry into the heart unit and some of the recent deaths. In the review | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Sir Ian Kennedy will be looking into issues such as communication and the | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
treatment given to children here. But today the hospital told me it | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
always strives to give the best care. And is saddened that a group | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
of families believe they have been let down. It also said a recent | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
survey of parents found 98% said they had received excellent or good | :03:17. | :03:27. | |
care. These families hope the new enquiry he has announced will get to | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
the bottom of what happened. Work to shore up the banks of a | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Somerset river has been going on all day as part of efforts to try to | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
restart the pumping operation to clear the Levels. The high volume | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Dutch pumps had to be switched off after only a couple of days because | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
they were eroding the bank of the River Parrett. Scott Ellis reports. | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
At full blast, two tonnes of water tumbles out of each of these pipes | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
every second. It has dug hole in the banks of this river so big that | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
pumping has had to stop. It is hoped a metal containers will now help | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
absorb the impact. This is a big job to putting crushed concrete and | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
stone amongst other things to do this paper energy coming out. The | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
cranes are here to do that. We hope to resume pumping later today. | :04:20. | :04:32. | |
Crumbling mud banks have meant that the world's biggest mobile pumping | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
operation has had to stop. They cannot afford many more delays. This | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
river has been spilling over its banks for weeks. The need to get the | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
pumps online because this is still all going to take many weeks to | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
shift. The sooner river levels drop, the sooner dozens of other smaller | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
pumps can restart work. And new distribution centre opened today | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
near Bridgwater for flood victims. This man among those able to restock | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
thanks to the generosity of others. Ten of us outside are working under | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
cold and wet. We can't afford to get gale`force this woman helped set up | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
relief effort. Life in temporary accommodation is taking its toll. It | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
is all right until the middle of the night when she wakes up screaming. | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
Then I will be in floods of tears. She doesn't expect to be home before | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
Christmas. And new addition to Bridgwater docs this evening. | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
Another pump from Holland which we are called as precautionary. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Swindon Town have missed out on going to Wembley next month after | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
losing their Johnstone's Paint Trophy Area Final on penalties. They | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
led 1`0 in the first half with a goal from Alex Pritchard. But | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Peterborough equalised late on to take the tie to a penalty shoot out. | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
And when Swindon missed their fifth spot`kick, Peterborough booked their | :06:18. | :06:32. | |
place in the Wembley final. The weather this week is | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
considerably quieter. I am not promising dry weather, but certainly | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
a lot less windy and we will get longer spells of dry weather in | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
between the rain. Tomorrow, a few showers around and generally light | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
winds. Some showers tonight will become more isolated. Towards the | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
morning, a line of frequent showers will cross much of the region. A | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
better chance to see sums me spells developing. As for the outlook, | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
expect a fine outlook on Friday For Wednesday night and into Thursday, | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
that is when we see the next spell of wet weather. Most of Wednesday is | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
try. Then a line of quite persistent rain coming through and telling war | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
`` turning more for the most part on Wednesday, it | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
will turn more unsettled. Whilst across the whole of the | :07:34. | :07:45. | |
country the general weather pattern shows no signs of completely | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
settling down there is some good news. There will be some drier | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
spells over the next couple of days, the wind is not as strong and it | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
will be relatively mild. Cloud tonight, the exception is the | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
Northern Isles. The risk of a touch of Frost. A weakening front sitting | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
through Scotland. Some heavier showers for Northern Ireland and the | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
south-west. A misty and murky | :08:16. | :08:16. |
