A judge jails two nurses for wilfully neglecting | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
A third nurse is given community service. | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
And Labour's heavyweights launch the party's campaign to keep Wales | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Two nurses have been jailed for wilful neglect after | :00:18. | :00:40. | |
they admitted failing to carry out blood tests on patients, | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Rebecca Jones and Lauro Bertalano worked on a specialist stroke ward | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
A third nurse was given a community sentence. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
It was here on Ward 2 at Bridgend's Princess | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
of Wales Hospital that three nurses carried out what the judge called | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
a clear-eyed and calculated deception, resulting | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Most of the patients had suffered strokes and as a result needed | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
regular monitoring of their blood glucose. | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
For a year, starting in February 2012, three nurses made | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Uncontrolled, the stroke patient's diabetes could have led to brain, | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Rebecca Jones, 31, was the most senior nurse involved. | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
She arrived at court today knowing she faced a jail sentence | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
for the wilful neglect of nine patients in her care. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Her colleague, 46-year-old Bertulano admitted the wilful neglect | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
I would like to apologise for what I have done. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Natalie Jones had falsified the records of two patients. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Lillian Williams was one of the patients affected. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
She was 82 when she died in November 2012. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Seen here in happier times on a family holiday, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
she had been admitted to Bridgend in September of that year | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
and her family were immediately critical of the care | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
In total the three nurses based at this hospital made 81 false | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
readings involving nine patients, which included Lillian Williams. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
On one day three consecutive tests of her blood glucose were false | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
entries, meaning she went 26 hours between legitimate testing. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Her family say their claims were met with incredulous silence. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Her son said the nurses were too arrogant to care. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
Her daughter said she had suffered a travesty of neglect. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
To hear all of the witness statements today, from the relatives | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
talking about the way that their loved ones suffered | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
at the hands of these nurses, that's been devastating for us. | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
The health board say a review they carried out once these issues | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
came to light found no evidence that any patient had received actual harm | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
but acknowledged some short-term discomfort. | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
They apologised to the families for any distressed caused | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
and confirmed that internal proceedings are going ahead with 12 | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Now that the judicial process is over, we want to look into this | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
in more detail and I am sure the police will cooperate with us | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
in looking at the evidence they have gathered and we will do a much more | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
in-depth review to make sure that we understand fully and in much | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
If there are any lessons, we will make sure we learn them. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
In sentencing the nurses, the judge said this was a failure | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Speaking to Rebecca Jones, he said she may have been unhappy | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
at work but to put patients at risk, that was not a rational response. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
He jailed her for eight months, with Lauro Bertulano receiving | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
Natalie Jones received a community order. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
As the sentence was handed down there was a round of applause | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
from families and the public gallery. | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
Labour's been accused of making outlandish and ludicrous claims | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
about the threat to Wales if Britain leaves the European Union. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Senior party figures launched their campaign to remain | :04:13. | :04:13. | |
in the EU, warning that Wales had most to lose from a withdrawal | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
because of its reliance on European aid. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Here's our political editor Nick Servini. | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
There could be plenty of turbulence ahead in the EU referendum campaign. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
If the UK votes to leave, Labour warned today there would be | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Senior figures were at an aerospace college near Cardiff Airport | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
to hammer home their claims that up to 200,000 jobs and hundreds | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
This is a wake-up call to every citizen in Wales | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
that we could sleepwalk out of Europe, and that would be more | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
damaging to Wales than any other part of Britain. | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
We are the ones who benefit the most from the European Union. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
This was a series of warnings that was designed to generate | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
full-on fear among the public about the withdrawal from the EU. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
At one stage, the First Minister even suggested that something | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
as fundamental as our system of farming could come to an end. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
If there is concern among people, it could work. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
But opponents are hoping it will just be seen as scaremongering. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
I think this is an opening salvo on behalf of the Ministry | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
These are quite ludicrous statements. | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
It is a crucial time as we edge closer to the referendum. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
David Cameron will be in Brussels this week, | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
trying to renegotiate Britain's membership of the EU. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
The central issue is reform of the benefits available | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
Europe is a potential minefield for the Conservatives. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Their official position will only become apparent once | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
The Welsh Secretary claimed he would be pragmatic | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
in the campaign, before giving this response to Labour. | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
We have heard all of the wild claims made before, 15 years ago, | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
when Labour was trying to bounce Britain into joining | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
15 years on, we are glad we have not because that would | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
Soon, it will not just be the politicians having | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Expect the debate to intensify as speculation grows | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
that the referendum will be held in the summer or autumn, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
The father of a soldier from Llangollen who died | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
at the Deepcut army barracks in 1995 has attacked the Ministry of Defence | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
for failing to disclose information ahead of a fresh | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
18-year-old Private Cheryl James was one of four soldiers to die | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
at the base, amid claims of bullying. | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Lawyers for the MOD say it's dealing with thousands of files | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
and will hand over the documents next month. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
A proposal to build more than 360 homes near Bangor has been rejected | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
by the local authority despite being recommended by planners. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
The land at Penrhosgarnedd is considered suitable for housing, | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
but Gwynedd councillors say the schools nearby couldn't cope | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
with such a large development, and that it could harm the Welsh | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
After 13 years in development Wales's first tidal turbine | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
The Giant Daffodil, as it's been dubbed, was lowered 30 | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
metres onto the seabed near Ramsey Sound, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
It will now undergo tests before it can begin generating power | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
Benhaz has tonight's weather forecast. | :07:48. | :07:57. | |
Yes, but not as much as last week. We have more wet and windy weather | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
to come tomorrow but it will be much milder as we go through the weekend | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
we will start to drag in a much milder air from the South as is | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
demonstrated on this graphic. The air across Scotland is still pretty | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
cold tomorrow but the warmer air is pushing to the north and | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
temperatures well above the average for the time of year. We still have | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
a few shower was will fizzle away and overnight should be dry. We see | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
low-level cloud and mist and fog and it is | :08:27. | :08:40. | |
still a bit chilly but well above the average for the time of year. We | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
have a very unsettled day tomorrow thanks to the area of low pressure | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
bringing wet and windy weather with it from the word go. There is mist | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
and fog around and the wind pick up from the south-east by hints of | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
brightness. Gradually be the rain band coming up from the south-west. | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
This band of rain is spreading to the north-east and bringing much | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
wilder -- milder weather with it. Tomorrow afternoon in Wales it will | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
be a soggy afternoon of that rain band pushes its way through. Gale | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
force winds along the coast and behind the rain band we have more | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
rain coming in. Temperatures in double figures for most of us. Where | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
and windy to come tomorrow night but very mild. The rain will ease by the | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
early hours of Wednesday morning. We hang on to come tomorrow night but | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
very mild. The rain will ease by the early hours of Wednesday morning. We | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
hang onto to cloud and mist and fog temperatures nine to 12. Wednesday | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
is another unsettled day. Wet and windy and the rain will push through | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
with hints of brightness before we see another band of rain coming in | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
from the West. Keep your umbrella to hand. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
From all of us on the programme good night. | :09:51. | :10:05. | |
What do we do with something like this? | :10:06. | :10:11. |
