upheaval of August 1914. That is all from us,

:00:00.:00:17.

Good evening. More than 7,000 patients were asked to rate the

:00:18.:00:21.

quality of their cancer treatment - and the vast majority thought their

:00:22.:00:26.

care was excellent or very good. In Wales, more than 18,000 people are

:00:27.:00:28.

diagnosed with cancer every year, with 24 people dying every day. But

:00:29.:00:34.

the study also found there were variations between hospitals and

:00:35.:00:37.

treatment for some types of cancer. Here's our health correspondent

:00:38.:00:49.

Owain Clarke. We've had your test results back

:00:50.:00:53.

from the lab and it is cancer. It's the news nobody wants to hear. In

:00:54.:00:58.

2009, this card if one face the shock of a cancer diagnosis. She

:00:59.:01:03.

noticed a lump on her neck and assumed it was just a swollen

:01:04.:01:06.

gland. It turned out to be a cancer that had spread. -- this Cardiff

:01:07.:01:13.

woman. The first thing I thought when I was told the diagnosis, apart

:01:14.:01:17.

from that I was going to die, was that I would be dreadfully

:01:18.:01:21.

disfigured. I had very good care from the physiotherapy service after

:01:22.:01:26.

surgery. Following her treatment, she was asked to rate her treatment

:01:27.:01:30.

as part of a Wales wide survey. The early 7500 patients took part.

:01:31.:01:36.

Overall, nine out of ten of them rated their care as excellent or

:01:37.:01:41.

good. But not every health board or hospital performed as well as each

:01:42.:01:44.

other. Patients were happiest with their care at a specialist cancer

:01:45.:01:50.

centre in Cardiff and also at a nearby hospital. A hospital in

:01:51.:01:59.

Bangor also scored highly. The hospitals in red had the least

:02:00.:02:02.

positive scores compared to the average. We need to make sure that

:02:03.:02:07.

the variance between health boards and hospitals is considered

:02:08.:02:12.

carefully. We need to make sure those key commitments in the Welsh

:02:13.:02:20.

Government's plan are implemented. There are also differences with how

:02:21.:02:22.

satisfied patients with different types all forms of cancer were with

:02:23.:02:28.

the care they got. Breast cancer patients, for example, had by far

:02:29.:02:33.

the most positive experiences. Those with lung cancer or bladder cancer,

:02:34.:02:39.

meanwhile, as well as patience with the rarer forms of cancer, tended to

:02:40.:02:44.

give the poorest scores. 68% of patients said they had been given

:02:45.:02:49.

information about the impact of the disease would have on their work or

:02:50.:02:54.

education, but just over half were given information about how to get

:02:55.:02:58.

financial help or benefits. According to the Welsh Government,

:02:59.:03:02.

this survey proves that the NHS in Wales can, at times, perform well

:03:03.:03:07.

and deliver for patients - even when services across the board are under

:03:08.:03:12.

intense pressure. The deputy head teacher of a Cardiff

:03:13.:03:15.

secondary school has been charged with three offences of voyeurism.

:03:16.:03:18.

47-year-old Gareth Williams has been suspended from Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg

:03:19.:03:21.

Glantaf in Llandaff North. Police say the offences are alleged to have

:03:22.:03:26.

taken place in a house. Two people have been jailed for

:03:27.:03:29.

trafficking women to Cardiff to work as prostitutes. Ladislav Kurina from

:03:30.:03:32.

the Czech Republic and Angelika Bacan from Romania pleaded guilty at

:03:33.:03:36.

Newport Crown Court to arranging for a 25 and 26-year-old to come here to

:03:37.:03:44.

work in the sex trade. The women were later left destitute and

:03:45.:03:55.

desperate. Paul Heaney reports. 29 euros Ladislav Kurina and

:03:56.:04:00.

26-year-old temp two. In September last year, they brought two and from

:04:01.:04:05.

the Czech Republic to Cardiff. -- 29-year-old Ladislav Kurina and

:04:06.:04:11.

26-year-old Angelika Bacan. They had subtle control over their victims

:04:12.:04:17.

and kept the money they earned. In desperation, the women turned to an

:04:18.:04:20.

abuse charity and spoke to the police. Because of the coverage of

:04:21.:04:26.

the women, we've been able to work with them and with the authorities

:04:27.:04:30.

to bring the perpetrators of these crimes to justice. Anybody involved

:04:31.:04:35.

in that area of work, it you cannot imagine the in terms of what it does

:04:36.:04:41.

to you as a person, what it does to you in your ability to feel that you

:04:42.:04:49.

value yourself. The judge described it as a Republican crime but

:04:50.:04:52.

although both girls agreed to come to the UK willingly, to take part in

:04:53.:04:57.

the sex trade, she said they felt they had me misled. -- a Republican

:04:58.:05:13.

crime. -- disgusting crime. 26-year-old Angelika Bacan, an

:05:14.:05:16.

engineering graduate from the University of Bucharest, was a

:05:17.:05:19.

willing accessory to Ladislav Kurina. This is a modern day slavery

:05:20.:05:25.

understood all -- totally unacceptable. Those who seek to deny

:05:26.:05:32.

people of their most basic human rights should be in no doubt that we

:05:33.:05:35.

will do everything in our power to bring them to justice. The women

:05:36.:05:39.

have since returned to the Czech Republic, just one of 34 suspected

:05:40.:05:43.

cases of human trafficking in Wales last year. Charities say not

:05:44.:05:47.

everybody is able to escape so quickly.

:05:48.:05:49.

Members of the royalties agency Eos, which controls the broadcast rights

:05:50.:05:52.

to thousands of Welsh-language songs, have voted to continue talks

:05:53.:05:56.

with the BBC over a new deal to play their music. It follows meetings in

:05:57.:05:59.

Caernarfon and Cardiff tonight. In December a copyright tribunal ruled

:06:00.:06:03.

the BBC should pay ?100,000 a year for the right to broadcast the Eos

:06:04.:06:06.

songs - significantly less than the ?1.5 million they'd hoped for.

:06:07.:06:18.

Routine operations have resumed in North Wales after being postponed

:06:19.:06:21.

last week. The action affected hospitals across the Betti Cadwaladr

:06:22.:06:24.

Health Board area - officials blamed increased pressures on A

:06:25.:06:33.

departments. The airline CityJet say they are

:06:34.:06:36.

open to expanding services at Cardiff Airport in future. CityJet,

:06:37.:06:39.

which is part of the Air France group, has begun flights to

:06:40.:06:42.

destinations such as Glasgow and Paris following the withdrawal of

:06:43.:06:44.

Flybe from Cardiff. Charging for plastic carrier bags,

:06:45.:06:47.

free prescriptions and the foundation phase in primary schools

:06:48.:06:50.

are all policies made in Wales. Now, finding out weather policies like

:06:51.:06:54.

these actually work will be the task of a new think tank called the

:06:55.:06:57.

Public Policy Institute for Wales. The group will report directly to

:06:58.:07:00.

the Welsh Government. The First Minister explained what it'll do. In

:07:01.:07:15.

the civil service, a vital services provided but we need people to look

:07:16.:07:18.

at what works and, on occasion, what doesn't work. Traditionally in

:07:19.:07:23.

Wales, we haven't had that. It has existed in other parts of the UK and

:07:24.:07:27.

it's important we make sure we have the right evidence base when we make

:07:28.:07:29.

United tomorrow, while the loan deal for Wilfried Zaha could be completed

:07:45.:07:51.

:07:55.:07:58.

Nations. A decision will be made on captain Sam Warburton's fitness in

:07:59.:08:01.
