Good evening. That's

:00:00.:00:12.

Grieving families of some of the children who've died on Ward

:00:13.:00:15.

32 in Bristol are claiming that the inquiry into their deaths does

:00:16.:00:19.

The youngsters were being treated on the controversial ward at

:00:20.:00:24.

Bristol Children's Hospital, which has received some serious criticism

:00:25.:00:26.

Here's our health correspondent Matthew Hill.

:00:27.:00:49.

Why was she sent up to Bristol hospital? And then she wasn't

:00:50.:00:59.

operated on for two weeks. The operation was cancelled thrde times

:01:00.:01:05.

within those two weeks. She had severe immune deficiency. They

:01:06.:01:07.

didn't find that out until they operated on her. Jasmine 's death

:01:08.:01:22.

won't be looked at pro. One of the family who do fall into the

:01:23.:01:26.

timescale are the Turners from Warminster, who lost their son Sean

:01:27.:01:33.

in 2012. A coroner ruled thdy lost opportunities in his care. Families

:01:34.:01:41.

before 2010 will be excluded from the review. One of our strong

:01:42.:01:46.

concerns is that they are only going to look at the clinical notds, as we

:01:47.:01:52.

know from our case. A lot of these notes were missing. It just won t

:01:53.:01:57.

work. There are test results within the results that we know didn't take

:01:58.:02:01.

place. There are too many retrospective notes. Sean 's

:02:02.:02:08.

critical period of notes is missing. It's turning into a farce rdally.

:02:09.:02:13.

It's not just about the card of individual patients that thhs

:02:14.:02:18.

enquiry will be looking at. Although the enquiry will only look back to

:02:19.:02:22.

2010 in terms of the familids experience. It will be lookhng at

:02:23.:02:27.

things like the original Brhstol enquiry, and how those things were

:02:28.:02:32.

responded to. It has to be remembered that this is not a full

:02:33.:02:36.

public enquiry, those can go on for years. In fact the four`year period

:02:37.:02:39.

they are looking at is one xear younger than the Staffordshhre

:02:40.:02:45.

enquiry. Matthew Hill, BBC Points West, Bristol.

:02:46.:02:47.

70 football fans in the Avon and Somerset area are

:02:48.:02:50.

among those having to hand hn their passports ahead of the World Cup.

:02:51.:02:53.

It's because they've been involvdd in

:02:54.:02:55.

violence or hooliganism at latches, including the Bristol Rovers versus

:02:56.:02:57.

The fans have until tomorrow to give police their passports

:02:58.:03:01.

Figures obtained by the BBC show students at the

:03:02.:03:06.

University of the West of England are lodging more appeals and

:03:07.:03:09.

complaints about their educ`tion than almost any other university.

:03:10.:03:13.

In fact, only two other universities had more grievances last ye`r.

:03:14.:03:17.

There was a time when a university education was free

:03:18.:03:23.

So perhaps it's no surprise that complaints have risen.

:03:24.:03:31.

At UWE, roughly 2.5% of students complained or appealed last year.

:03:32.:03:36.

The university's minister says it shows undergraduates

:03:37.:03:40.

There are large numbers of students who have not, historically,

:03:41.:03:46.

in English universities, had the quality of teaching they

:03:47.:03:48.

But I actually think that trends are now going in the right direction,

:03:49.:03:53.

not least because students `re far more demanding than ever before

:03:54.:03:56.

But some of the complaints and appeals

:03:57.:03:59.

Students who had hayfever in their exams, for example,

:04:00.:04:05.

Also those who can't park their cars can complain.

:04:06.:04:11.

I think that's really posithve and I think it's good that students are

:04:12.:04:15.

looking at their education in that way.

:04:16.:04:18.

For UWE to actually listen to students, to act on those appeals,

:04:19.:04:21.

I think is brilliant and thdy should continue to do so.

:04:22.:04:24.

Even so, UWE's complaints and appeals are much higher than

:04:25.:04:27.

some similar`sized universities suggesting its students are now

:04:28.:04:31.

Earlier, we asked Julie McLdod from the University of the West

:04:32.:04:43.

of England if she was worridd about the number of complaints.

:04:44.:04:46.

The main areas that our students are putting forward their compl`ints

:04:47.:04:49.

in are around some areas financial, which we have seen an incre`se in,

:04:50.:04:54.

covering car parking, accomlodation, but also the largest majority are

:04:55.:04:58.

students telling us or informing us of personal circumstances that

:04:59.:05:01.

they feel affect the abilitx to succeed and progress.

:05:02.:05:04.

Compared to other universithes these are really high numbers

:05:05.:05:10.

Against the sector we are a large university,

:05:11.:05:15.

and therefore proportionately it is less than half a percent

:05:16.:05:18.

But more importantly for us is that we are open `nd

:05:19.:05:22.

transparent about capturing that student voice and their complaints

:05:23.:05:25.

and appeals, and effectivelx making sure that we learn from those

:05:26.:05:30.

We take that satisfaction vdry much by the fact that we have such

:05:31.:05:37.

a small number of those complaints going to

:05:38.:05:39.

the independent adjudicator, for which we have been commdnded.

:05:40.:05:42.

In an essence, with high sttdent fees you are a business.

:05:43.:05:45.

You must be worried about ctstomers, i.e.

:05:46.:05:47.

students, looking at these figures and saying

:05:48.:05:49.

Well certainly there are hehghtened expectations

:05:50.:05:54.

But we have to be very clear that in many cases these aren't formal

:05:55.:06:00.

These are students informing, they're going through

:06:01.:06:02.

a formal process, but as far as dissatisfaction we are

:06:03.:06:08.

talking about 142 complaints, of which we need to have lessons

:06:09.:06:11.

One example is the reduction by 50% of the complaints

:06:12.:06:17.

around accommodation this ydar from what we learned last ydar.

:06:18.:06:20.

There's more news on the BBC website, but for now i'll ldave you

:06:21.:06:27.

Thank you. We still have a few showers lingering around. The main

:06:28.:06:37.

story is rain pushing northwards later tonight. That will very much

:06:38.:06:41.

be a feature through good p`rts of Wednesday. Through the course of

:06:42.:06:48.

tonight temperatures dropping to nine to 12 Celsius. Rain pushing

:06:49.:06:54.

northwards towards midnight. In rush hour that could be heavy in places.

:06:55.:07:02.

East of the M5 or so. The ddtail still very elusive as the d`y wears

:07:03.:07:09.

on. You will find the edge of that rain goes into eastern areas.

:07:10.:07:13.

Through the evening there whll be an erratic but steady improvemdnt with

:07:14.:07:16.

some brighter weather coming through. A good part of the day will

:07:17.:07:23.

be wet or cloudy until that stage. Temperatures will struggle, 12 or 13

:07:24.:07:30.

Celsius. But it will feel cool. On Thursday a day of

:07:31.:07:33.

outlook, we have some thunderstorms this Saturday.

:07:34.:07:42.

Interest ring aggression of weather for the rest of this week which

:07:43.:07:49.

could end up as a crescendo on Saturday involving heavy rain. Rain

:07:50.:07:54.

in the shorter term forecast, heading in from the south. It is

:07:55.:07:58.

knocking on the door already and will make a miserable day tomorrow.

:07:59.:08:03.

Rain pushing up Rahm Northern France and get into southern part of

:08:04.:08:09.

England and Wales by the end of the night. Showers ahead of that. A

:08:10.:08:12.

relatively mild night except in the northern half of Scotland.

:08:13.:08:15.

Temperatures will get down into single figures. But that is the area

:08:16.:08:21.

that ends up with a dry start tomorrow. Across most of the

:08:22.:08:28.

country, it is a mass of rain. It will ebb and flow, but there will be

:08:29.:08:32.

heavy bursts and the some places it could rain on and off all day. By

:08:33.:08:38.

the afternoon the rain has din Scotland as well, except in the

:08:39.:08:41.

West. Dry conditions here and maybe hang onto sunny conditions. Western

:08:42.:08:49.

parts of Wales and south-west England will be drier

:08:50.:08:50.
