found patients at Woodborough Dental Practice in Winscombe, North

Somerset were at risk of injury and infection. Our Health Correspondent

The doors are locked. No ond will be treated here until next month. The

CQC took the step of closing the practice of inspection and was

failing to meet all seven standards. I had no idea of it and I h`ve

always found them to be cle`n and good. I have had operations are my

mouth, it's always been find, and my partner, and daughter. Thesd

patients didn't know that their records were not being kept under

lock and key, instead they were in open filing cabinets in waiting

areas and they were huge gaps in the medical histories of some p`tients,

in one case, more than a decade One look and dentist failed to find out

what medication an elderly woman was taking before giving an anadsthetic.

She collapsed on the floor, they try to set them up three times but she

collapsed each time, before calling the ambulance. The most serhous

failure was over the possibhlity of infection of blood`borne diseases.

After the initial clean, eqtipment should be closely inspected and

sterilised and sealed from contact with air. The CQC say that that

magnifying glasses were not being used to inspect equipment and once

this was clean and sterile, it was left in the open air for up to

several days at a time. There are 3000 patients registered with this

practice, we have written to them because our concern is the

continuity of care. The letter explains how they can access other

practices locally. We have so far been unable to convert anyone from

the surgery. The CQC have rdferred their findings to the Gener`l

medical Council which has stspended Doctor Nigel Smith, one of the

partners. A Cheltenham man has been sdntenced

The Army blew up an unexploded shell in Somerset today that was

The device was buried in a back garden after the second

world war and today led to ` hundred homes in Frome being evacuated.

One of more than 100 homes being evacuated this morning, onlx this is

the one where a suspected ddvice was in the back garden. Fingers crossed

it's covered on the insurance! I'm taking the notes with me to read up

but I'm sure we won't need them A man in his 82 used to live here

recalled his father burying an incendiary device in the back

garden. A survey carried out a few weeks ago established there was what

the experts were calling a ferrous anomaly. They checked it with a

magnetic meter, which discovers various items and they found they

were 16 lumps of iron, of which there were two big lumps whdre this

had the bomb was. Holmes were evacuated, but not everyone

approved. It has been so long, why worry about it now on the hdarsay of

an old gentleman in a home? Before the discovery today, the Cotncil to

fix the defended its role. The idea of leaving it there because it's

been there a long time, you can t take the risk, can you? Within

hours, the army were called in. They found a device about a metrd down,

14 inches long, four inches in diameter, probably a British

artillery anti`aircraft shell which had been fired but didn't explode.

It was taken away to be blown up. Finally, the big hangmen and, as

shell which was named most likely a German aircraft finally exploded

Morten 70 years on. You can see all the metal the bomb squad has had to

deal with as they dug down, looking for the bomb. They have filled in

the hole but it's still a bht of blank canvas, it'll all grow back.

It was government advice at the time, you buried, marked bolbs, and

somebody would come along and deal with it. This programme is `vailable
