A mother who raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for cancer | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
services in Pembrokeshire is asking the NHS to pay the money back. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Chris Evans-Thomas lost her son, Adam, to Leukaemia in 2004 | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
His dying wish was to improve facilities at Withybush Hospital, | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
but 10 years on, his legacy has not been spent. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
She's been speaking exclusively to Abigail Neal. | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
Adams Evans Thomas achieved remarkable things in his lifetime. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
He campaigned for the government to pay the costs of DNA tests the bone | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
marrow donors and persuaded 3000 people to sign up to donor register. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
But as Adams illness progressed he decided he wanted to give something | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
back. He began raising money through his charity to refurbish the cancer | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
ward at Withybush Hospital and to build a new chemotherapy day unit. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
In 2004 when he died his mother took on that legacy. We had been told and | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
we were discussing purple lockers and all of this and it went on for | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
another year and we were still enthusiastically fund-raising and | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
it's been going on now for ten years. And still no unit. Through | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
the high-profile nature of his appeal his mother has helped raise | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
nearly ?700,000 for cancer services in temperature. She says she has | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
repeatedly been given dates for when the work will start at now she wants | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
the money back. I am making the money. People have believed in me so | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
I am carrying the can. If we're not to have this unit and if you are not | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
going to build it, I am going to ask for the money back and if you are | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
not going to make up your mind we will use it to something else. A | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
cancer support charity show us letters they received from the local | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
health board citing recruitment and staffing problems at Withybush | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Hospital. They await this may mean Adam's legacy never gets built. | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
Everyone is assuming it will go to Glangwili Hospital because that is | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
where everything seems to be going. Hywel Dda Health Board told us they | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
are still committed to a new chemotherapy day unit and that | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
?550,000 worth of funds have been committed to the new unit and the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
refurbishment of the cancer ward but they added that capital builder is | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
only part of the challenge and a review of starting a sure it is | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
sustainable in the term. Hywel Dda Health Board have no plans to hand | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
the money back and legal experts say that will be hard to challenge. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Frequently, NHS charities ask you to give money for particular purpose | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
but on the basis that that is an expression of wish. It is not a | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
binding obligation on them to use it for that particular purpose. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Frustrated at the lack of progress, Chris Evans-Thomas has set up their | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
own facility for cancer patients in Pembrokeshire. But she won't give up | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
a mission to see out his sons dying wish. | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
A jealous husband shot his wife dead in the street because | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
he couldn't accept she'd left him for another man, a court has heard. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
Caroline Parry died after being shot twice | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
Her husband, Christopher, was described as a controlling | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Caroline Parry had been married for 27 years, but the court was told | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
her husband, Christopher, was controlling and dominant. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
In March last year, she left him and eventually moved | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
It was here during the morning of August the 8th last year that he | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
waited for her to leave for work in her car, before flagging her down. | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
The prosecutor told the court when Mrs Parry stop this beta is burned | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
you enter the blood of his carpet for the shotgun and shot her twice | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
in the back. It was carefully planned by a man who was in full | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
control of himself when he murdered his wife. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Mr Parry then shot himself causing substantial facial injuries. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
He claimed he'd not meant to kill his wife, but had come to shoot | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
But the prosecution says he planned the | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
attack, as CCTV footage showed his car in the area two days earlier. | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
If you add all of these activities together he was a man who was not | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
repaired to let go, someone who kept his wife in the surveillance and | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
find out -- found that when she was living. He armed himself for the | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
task he was about to carry out. Christopher Parry had admitted | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
manslaughter but the night is murder. The case continues. | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
Roads were closed in Porthcawl this afternoon after a large fire | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
An area of grass and gorse was alight. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
The smoke was visible for some distance and fire crews say | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
The Education Minister, Huw Lewis, is writing to the Home Office to | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
ask why he wasn't given any notice that it was stripping Glyndwr | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
University of its right to sponsor foreign student visa applications. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Applicants must be tested to ensure they can speak English to | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
a suitable level, but a police investigation found that hundreds of | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
The Health Minister has told AMs that he's given ambulance bosses | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
a deadline of three months to deliver "urgent | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
improvements" after it again failed to meet response time targets. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
In May, 54% of ambulances reached life-threatening incidents | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Opposition parties claim response times are a national disgrace. | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
The ambulance service blamed a rise in emergency calls and | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
I expect an urgent improvement over the next three months. I do not want | :06:10. | :06:25. | |
to be in the position of coming before the assembly in September to | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
find the performance we have seen in May has continued into June as | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
well. I don't want to be here having to explain to you by the arm service | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
has not been able to make the necessary improvements. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
It's been confirmed that the Wales rugby player Owen Williams has | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
The Cardiff Blues centre was injured during a match in Singapore | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
and remains in hospital there after surgery to stabilise a fracture. | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
Today his family, who are at his bedside, thanked everyone | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
Every player was devastated at the training ground and everybody has | :06:57. | :07:09. | |
their fingers crossed for him. Hopefully we will hear some good | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
news over the next few days and our thoughts are with him and his | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
family. We have sent as many messages as we can add their and the | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
whole rugby community has got behind them. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
There's been a 2,500% increase in the number of people in Wales | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
registering to become bone marrow donors and it's | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
down to eight-year-old Hollie Clark from Cardiff. | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
She needs a transplant and celebrities like | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
Jonathan Davies have been taking pictures of themselves with pants | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
on their head to encourage people to join the register. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
The Anthony Nolan Trust says more donors are still needed. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Cricket, and Glamorgan lost to Hampshire in | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
the T20 blast at the Swalec Stadium tonight, leaving the visitors to go | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Hampshire posted a score of 170 for six, holding their nerve to win | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Glamorgan remain fourth and are still on course | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Well, there could be a few more showers | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
Here's Derek now with the forecast. We have had a good dose of sunshine | :08:03. | :08:15. | |
this month but the dry spell is on its last legs. That is some rain and | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
heavy showers on the way but it's not going to be a total write-off | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
this began. Dry across the country tonight and a few clouds. A mild | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
night but fresher than recent nights. Tomorrow morning will be dry | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
with some cloud around but some brightness as well. Feeling | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
pleasantly warm. Across the rest of the UK, a few spots of rain likely | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
in Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland but otherwise a lot of | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
places dry. There will be some cloud but some sunshine as well. Some rain | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
spreading into the West Country approaching South Wales later in the | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
afternoon. Top temperatures around 21 Celsius in London and 17 in | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
Glasgow. At three o'clock in the afternoon most of Wales will be dry | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
but rain will spread into the south and south-west later on. Quite warm | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
again tomorrow with a southeasterly breeze. Rain will spread northwards | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
tomorrow evening, heavy in places, turning try in the south and west | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
but with scattered heavy showers. Into Friday, we have a trough of low | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
pressure over southern Britain and that means more unsettled weather. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Cloudy on Friday with outbreaks of rain in the North. Some bright | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
spells for mid Wales and the South but also heavy showers. Enter the | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
weekend, there will be further showers. But I can promise you some | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
dry weather and sunshine as well. Sunday is probably the best day of | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
the weekend. We're back with updates | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
in the morning from around 6.25am. For now though, from all of us here, | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
good night. | :09:58. | :10:00. |
