Good evening. After a week travelling across the country, the | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
batons journey in Wales ends here in the | :01:13. | :01:25. | |
The man in charge of a Welsh hospital where people were said to | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
be regularly dying while waiting for heart surgery says cardiac | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Last year, the Royal College of Surgeons told BBC Wales heart | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
patients at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff were waiting too | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Now it says there's still some way to go, but services have improved. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
forests Anthony is recovering from a triple bypass operation at the | :01:49. | :02:07. | |
University Hospital of Wales. He waited eight months. Within the | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
nine-month target. He is happy with his treatment. That was worried. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Last year, senior surgeons said people were regularly dying while | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
waiting for is heart surgery at the hospital. It did play on my mind, | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
yes. It does play on your mind. You are waiting for a bypass. It does | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
play on your mind. Last year, the Royal College of surgeons told BBC | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Wales it was concerned that in five years, 152 patients died while | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
waiting for heart surgery in South Wales. The figure was later revised | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
down to around 100. It also said cardiac waiting times at the | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
University Hospital of Wales were a serious patient safety issue. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
Welcome to Wales today. Our top story, services are dangerous, | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
according to surgeons. The story was headline news across the country. | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
And a hot topic in Parliament. There are people on NHS waiting lists who | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
are dying in Wales because the waiting lists are too long. But now | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
the Royal College of surgeons says while there is still substantial | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
work to do, there have been improvements. We have also reduced | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
the number of people waiting much longer than they should. The 36 | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
weight lists have dropped by a half. Our plan is to secure a pathway for | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
patients so that they have surgery much more quickly. The Royal Oak | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
says there still are concerns about delays in cardiac patient care, with | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
some operations being made more competent to do two patients' | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
conditions getting worse. I am concerned that I think everyone is | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
concerned about the length of the waiting lists. But we are waiting | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
with -- working hard to reduce waiting lists. Cardiac surgery is | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
now being carried out on the weekend. Old surgery equipment has | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
been replaced. The Royal College of surgeons says it will continue to | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
take an interest in the health board surgical services. The board accepts | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
it has a long way to go but says it is moving forward. | :04:41. | :04:41. | |

A yacht club has been fined ?40,000 after an 11-year-old girl | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
suffered brain damage when two boats crashed in Cardiff Bay. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Two teenage instructors who weren't qualified | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
for night driving were carrying 13 girls when they collided, throwing | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Cardiff Bay Yacht Club admitted two offences, and their chief | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
instructor has been ordered to carry out community service. | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Matthew Murray is in the Bay for us tonight. | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
This accident happened nearly four years ago. | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
A sailing instructor has narrowly avoided going to prison | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
after breaching health and safety regulations | :05:17. | :05:17. | |
which led to two high-powered motor boats crashing in Cardiff Bay, | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
Nicholas Sawyer must now undertake 180 hours of community work. | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
While the owners of the boats, Cardiff Bay Yacht Club, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
Cardiff Bay yacht club had an unblemished record until this | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
accident. Today, the judge said the club should have prohibited the use | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
of the boats that were involved in the collision. The club were fined | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
?40,000. This was an isolated lapse at a club with an excellent health | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
and safety record. We have made a number of improvements to ensure | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
that such an incident could not happen again. The club was pleased | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
that the judge accepted the incident had been taken very seriously by the | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
club, that we had commended all the recommendations of the various | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
enquiries that were made. The boats were being used to return a group of | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
children home after attending a course. It was here at Cardiff Bay | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
yacht club where the boat set off on a relatively short journey but it | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
was night-time and the boats did not have navigation lights. Two of the | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
vessels were also being operated by 17-year-old girls who did not have | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
the correct modifications. Those boats collided and an 11-year-old | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
girl was thrown into the water. She suffered brain damage and two other | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
children were also injured. The two girls were cleared of any wrongdoing | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
in a previous hearing. Today, a judge ruled it was a responsibility | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
of the chief instructor of the group, Nicholas Sawyer. He had | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
arranged for the boats to be used and allow the girls to operate the | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
vessels. He was ordered to undertake 180 hours of community service. | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
Nicholas Sawyer is relieved that this matter is now concluded. He | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
accepts the sentence arising from a regrettable accident which he has | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
always accepted responsibility for and will always regret. It was | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Nicholas Sawyer 's reputation and record is in a structure which saw | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
him narrowly avoid prison. The court heard today that Nicholas Sawyer 's | :07:29. | 3:22:55 | |
career has seen him teach thousands of children | 3:22:56 | 0:00:37 |
