Hello, good evening from Points That's all from me and the team. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Hello, good evening from Points West. The parents of a severely | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
disabled man from Wiltshire say they're shocked after being told | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
he'll no longer be entitled to free physiotherapy. John Morrison has | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
quadriplegic static cerebral palsy and needs regular treatment to keep | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
his muscles working. His parents have been offered training to carry | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
out the physio themselves but don't feel confident about doing it | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
properly. Steve Knibbs reports. John Morrison can't use his arms or | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
legs so needs a grey deal of help. Without specialist neuro | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
rehabilitation physiotherapy, he'd deteriorate rapidly. He has the | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
treatment twice a week and was by the NHS when he was a student but | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
now that John has moved back home, it's costing his parents over ?500 a | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
month. It feels like you be means tested, almost, a way. The nature of | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
the letter was, if you don't like what we are not offering, go and pay | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
for it yourself. The Wiltshire clinical commissioning group won't | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
pay for the treatment long term. Instead, they've offered to train | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
his parents to give him the physiotherapy at home. We were told | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
by the doctor and his physiotherapist in Wales not to | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
stand John on our own because if we heard him, we could break his head, | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
snap his thigh bone, do all sorts of damage. The funding problem isn't | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
specific to Wiltshire. John is also facing a bill for thousands of | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
pounds of treatment he received while living in Wales. It's an issue | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
the Health Secretary recently said needs to be looked at. It is also a | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
false economy not to invest because if we don't help to keep people | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
healthy and happy while they are a home, they will end up in hospital, | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
and that will cost us even more money. The group reiterated that it | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
is their policy to provide 6`8 physiotherapy sessions in hospital | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
before working with the patient and carer to provide the therapy | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
themselves at home. They said should a patient's condition deteriorate, | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
they encourage them to get reassessed. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
Avon and Somerset Police are continuing to trawl through CCTV | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
footage after violence at the Bristol Rovers game at the weekend. | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Six people were arrested after the match, which saw Rovers relegated | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
from the football league. Police horses were used after several | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
hundred fans ran onto the pitch. Officers say they expect to make | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
more arrests in the coming days. Thousands of people on the Somerset | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Levels have been enjoying a May Festival that aims to banish the | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
winter and welcome the spring. After the devastating floods through | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
January and February, today brought a much`needed break from the | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
recovery work and a chance for people to celebrate the area's | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
heritage. Here's Jules Hyam. The traditional May Festival parade, | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
recorded in the now customary way but centered around the village | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
maypole. Tradition is important here in Kingsbury Episcopi and they do it | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
very well. This festival and these dances are about banishing winter, | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
casting off the cloak of the colder months and welcoming the spring. It | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
is about a change in seasons, but also about a change in fortunes, and | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
around here, they would welcome a bit of that. All of us know lots of | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
people who were affected by the flooding but, you know, people have | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
bounced back. Well, I've actually seen loads of those people here | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
today already, so it's really great. Spring's here, summer's coming. The | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
May Lady is a symbol of that but she's not the only one dressed for | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
the occasion, costumes and garlands very much the order of the day. I | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
think one of the best things about Kingsbury May Fair is the fact that | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
you've got this lovely village that, all of a sudden, gets descended on | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
by everyone in Somerset and it's such a real, wonderful celebration | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
of spring coming. And it feels like a real traditional West Country | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
thing to do. Do you agree with your dad? Yes. It's the biggest Kingsbury | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
May Festival yet, run entirely by volunteers and supported by a very | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
large community who do know a bit about pulling together. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
And it's been another busy day on Bristol's harbour`side as the city's | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
food festival enters its second week. Plenty of street food was on | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
offer in the market in Millennium Square, where you could take your | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
taste buds on a trip around the world. Events will continue | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
throughout the week and the city until 11th May. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Let's take a look at the weather as we start another week, and David | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Braine has the forecast for the West. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
Hello. Good evening. Rain setting in overnight tonight. It's quite a big | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
change compared to what we've seen through the weekend and it sets us | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
up for quite an unsettled week ahead. Showers, or if not longer | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
spells of rain, and also quite breezy conditions, with temperatures | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
of around 14 or 15. This line of cloud of rain will give us some wet | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
weather overnight tonight. Moves through fairly fast, though, so | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
after a dollop of rain, towards the morning, it's clearing, so most of | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
us waking up to a bright and dry start. Morning temperatures of | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
around ten or 11 degrees. And for tomorrow, at least for the morning, | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
it's dry with sunny spells, then the showers get going in the afternoon | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
and one or two of those could turn out to be quite heavy with a top | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
temperature of around 14 or 15 degrees for most of us. Staying | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
unsettled for the rest of this week with some more persistent rain on | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Thursday. Have a good night. And that's it for this bank holiday | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Monday. Don't forget Late Kick Off's on at 11:35pm here on BBC One, | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
straight after Match of the Day. They'll be asking what's next for | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Bristol Rovers following their relegation out of the football | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
league. We're back tomorrow morning in Breakfast, but from me and the | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
team, goodnight. If you have enjoyed an entire | :06:01. | :06:12. | |
weekend of fine weather it is highly likely next weekend you will not. | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
The weather is changing, it is turning more unsettled. Breezy this | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
week, especially in the West. Showers but not raining all the | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
time. Occasionally it will be dry and bright. Rain has been touring | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
with part of the UK through the weekend. Some heavy bursts pushing | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
eastwards across the UK for the rest of the night. Some clear spells | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
developing in the west later. Nowhere is particularly cold. The | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
North East Scotland Scotland will push away, though it was still | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
remain in Sheffield in the afternoon -- Shetland. Some of the overnight | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
rain is lingering for a few more hours in the South. They could stay | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
cloudy in coastal Sussex and Kent. Midlands, Wales and south-west | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
England getting off to a fine, promising start. Then it is a case | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
of waiting for the | :07:10. | :07:11. |
