Doctors and nurses across the west are being abused bx angry | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
patients ` and the NHS is allowing many of them to get away with it. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
An inquiry's begun into why so few attackers are being brought | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
This report from our health correspondent Matthew Hill starts | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
with a very graphic description of an attack on a doctor. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
I had just seen a patient who was convinced they had HIV. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
He said, "I've got all the symptoms." | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
I said, "What symptoms have you got?" | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
He said, "You tell me what the symptoms are and I will tell you." | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
After the clinic closed, he came up behind me and trhed to | :00:44. | :00:53. | |
The scars may have healed btt for this doctor the memory | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
of an attack more than 20 ydars ago is still vivid. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
It's only when you see the knife you know you have been cut. | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
I put my hand into the hole and screamed and ran away | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
I sat down next to the sistdr and doctor and say, I need pressure | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
In Dr Greenhouse's case, thd assailant was sent to Broadloor | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
But according to data seen by the BBC most hospitals in the West | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
are failing to find out if justice is being sought for their staff | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
All our hospitals are required to compile the number of assaults | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Those can include cautions, fines and imprisonment. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
NHS figures show that for the past five years North Bristol Trtst has | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
had more than 1000 reported assaults on staff, yet in not one single case | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
has there been a declared s`nction recorded by the hospital. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
Great Western Hospital in Swindon has also declared no sanctions | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
The one Trust with a far better record is | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
The past 12 years, a police officer has been stationed here | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
They had 757 reported assaults over the same period, but in 100 of those | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
I think it does make a diffdrence on the basis that I'm here to be | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
able to respond to incidents that are happening, but also to support | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
It is reassurance for the p`tients and visitors who come here. | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
No other hospital in the West was prepared to be interviewed, | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
but in a statement Great Western in Swindon said we will not tolerate | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
violence against staff and that managers will follow`up inchdents. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Both they and North Bristol Trust say it's ultimately down to | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
individual members of staff as to whether they contact the police | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
Of course, many assaults involve vulnerable patients with conditions | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
like dementia, but some hospitals still seem to have questions to | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
answer about how seriously they take attacks on staff. | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
A third man has died followhng the crash on the M4 on Monday morning. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Two men were pronounced dead at the scene when a van | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
and a lorry collided near the Chippenham turn`off. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
Another man is still in a critical condition in hospital. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
A 37`year`old man from Aberdare has been arrested on suspicion of | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
A fire which destroyed two homes in Bath yesterday may have been | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
started deliberately, according to the police. | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
Detectives say that a cannabis factory was discovered | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
Police are trying to trace two men seen leaving the house. | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
One of the region's worst trunk roads looks set for improvelents. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
For decades there have been calls for sections of the A303 in Somerset | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
and Wiltshire to be upgraded ` and today the Secretary of State | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Here's our political editor, Paul Barltrop. | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
Patrick McLoughlin wanted to see the A303 for himself before making | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
I have been in some terrible situations, | :04:08. | :04:19. | |
near accidents, where it has been diverted through the villagds. | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
That sooner it is dual carrhageway the better it will be for everybody. | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
After many years of frustration ministers got the wheels rolling. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
It's a year since the government announced the feasibility study | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Holiday traffic will emphashse the need and this past winter's floods | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
on the railways reinforced calls for better transport links. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
At Taunton Station the minister acknowledged the region is not | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
There is a study going on to the A303. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
There is a big debate about where you improve and how much yot spend, | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
how much projects are going to cost and that is why I am looking at it | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
so I have a first`hand view when I come to look at the recommendations | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
For the local politicians who for decades sought change, | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Mr Cameron has been down, Patrick has been down, | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
these things are pushing it and saying, OK, let's do solething. | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
I think the fact he was herd today, the fact he has driven the road | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
The Secretary of State left for his return trip up the @303 | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
He will decide what money it gets in the autumn. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
The biggest bus operator in the West is cutting | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
First Bus is introducing half`price tickets for children and yotng | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
people, flat fares for travdl across Bath and Weston`super`Mare | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
and the introduction of a new family`first day thcket. | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Bus fares in Bristol were ctt last year, leading to a 9% rise | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
you're probably aware the World Cup got under way in Brazil tod`y. | :05:59. | :06:10. | |
Football fever already gripping the region ` this is | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
Well, tomorrow on Points West we'll be following Italians in | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
the region ahead of England's first match against Italy on Saturday | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
But will the weather here m`tch the soaring temperatures in Brazil? | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
London was warmer than Sao Paulo today. In the West Country, the sea | :06:22. | :06:43. | |
breezes keeping the coastal fringes morph and south clear of cloud. The | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
fair weather cloud in betwedn. Tomorrow warmer day, a good deal of | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
strong sunshine. A low chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm late | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
in the evening. Under clear skies tonight we see temperatures between | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
nine ` 12 Celsius. Some shallow mist around. In the Somerset Levdls, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
quickly burns out of the wax. Tomorrow morning, under strong | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
sunshine, light winds, the sea breezes setting up a gain and much | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
like today you will see the Fairweather cloud around as you come | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
further inland. The dry conditions will prevail. As we get latd into | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
the evening there could be ` chance of an isolated shower or | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
thunderstorm, particularly hn the north or east. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
turn pressure with temperatures easing back and here is my colleague | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
with the rest of the weekend forecast. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
A day of contrast today. In the Northwest we saw cloud moving in | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
which brought a little bit of rain but it also stopped temperatures | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
from rising too far. 16 or 17 degrees typical, contrasted with 20 | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
degrees in London. We will see the skies clear across the southern half | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
tonight. Some rural spots might dip into single figures and there might | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
be showers, mist and fog in rural spots, but that's about it for | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
England and Wales. Further north, heavy bursts of rain on the west of | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Scotland. Not too much on the eastern side, and some rain getting | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
into Northern Ireland by dawn. In the rush hour across central and | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
western Scotland, not | :08:17. | :08:17. |
