Welcome to the programme. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
Tonight's headlines: | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
A major review finds the Health Service here is no better | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
or worse than the rest of the UK - but needs to raise its game. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
And Margaret Hiorns died from a blood clot after being | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
treated in hospital. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
A coroner says there were shortcomings in her care. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, says David Cameron should apologise | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
for consistently attacking the NHS in Wales. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
It comes as a major new report says the care we get here is no better | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
or worse than in the other nations of the UK. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
But experts from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
and Development say the NHS in all four UK countries | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
needs to improve. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Here's our health correspondent, Owain Clarke. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
What's a fair reflection of the state of the Welsh NHS? | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
What's the true story beyond the headlines? | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
The only thing that's clear is it's a complicated picture. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
Without this, Kenneth Jones' shattered leg bones | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
wouldn't heal. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
He fell 15 feet from a wall last summer. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
His injuries were so severe he had to be | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
transported by air ambulance straight to Morriston Hospital. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
Experts in trauma and plastic surgery worked together to get him | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
on the mend. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
Years ago I would have probably lost my leg. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
But the Professor has been very good. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
He's taken me through all the procedures | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
I have gone through, explained everything to me. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
Everything that's happened and what they intend doing. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
The NHS across Wales saves and rebuilds lives everyday, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
but the spotlight often falls on days cases | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
where care hasn't been up to scratch. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
But do they reflect deeper problems? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
18 months ago, the Conservative Health Secretary at Westminster told | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
MPs the patients in Wales were getting | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
a second-class health service. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
The Welsh Labour health Minister hit back, saying Jeremy Hunt's | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
claims were a tissue of lies. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
So who's right? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
This 300-page report, put together by experts from the OECD in Paris, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
looks at quality and safety of NHS services in Wales, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
It's arguably the most comprehensive analysis ever made. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
And when the OECD has something to say, people tend to listen. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
It suggests no-one of the four nation's health systems appear | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
to outperform the others, but argues they all must improve | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
and learn from each other, given that survival rates | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
across the UK for certain types of cancer are average or disappointing. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
But there are concerns that health boards in Wales, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
established seven years ago, have failed to change and improve | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
care enough locally. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
The review calls for the Welsh Government to take more | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
direct control of the way the NHS here is run. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
The centre has a very general view on what should be | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
happening, but then leaves it to the health boards to decide, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
in each little authority, how you actually improve | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
health care, how you structure health care. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
It should be, let a thousand flowers bloom. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
But when we look at the results, we don't see much | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
change since 2009. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
But this review didn't look at waiting times foir treatment, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
for example, and critics claim they're too long in Wales, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
and a particular problem. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
Nevertheless, the Welsh Government feels vindicated. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
We have seen a report today that shows that, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
unlike what David Cameron has said, the Welsh NHS is not worse | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
than the NHS in England. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
After what he said last year about our doctors and nurses | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
in Wales, I think it's time we had an apology. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
At one point Kenneth Jones thought he | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
would lose his leg, but due to the care and expertise | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
of the Welsh NHS, he is on his way to recovery. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Kenneth is doing well. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
But the OECD message is clear - the NHS could do better. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
And not just in Wales, but across the UK. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
A friend of a Welsh soldier who died at Deepcut barracks in Surrey has | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
told an inquest senior staff were "trying to keep us quiet". | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
Private Cheryl James, from Llangollen, was found dead | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
at the army base in 1995. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Helen Miller said she'd been pressured to say her | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
friend was happy. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
The inquest continues. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
Cardiff Council says it will cut 138 posts as part of plans to find | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
?32 million in savings from next year's budget, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
following a month of consultation. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
Their budget proposals will go before the cabinet on Thursday, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
before they're considered by the full council. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
Welsh graduates who stay in Wales or come back here to work | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
after university would have part of their debts written off | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
if Plaid Cymru came to power after May's Assembly Elections. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
The party says it would pay off ?6000 a year of tuition fees. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:55 | |
An inquest has found there were shortcomings in the care | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
of an elderly patient who died from a blood clot | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
after being treated at Glangwili hospital in Carmarthen. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
85-year-old Margaret Hiorns suffered complications, | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
after being treated with a blood-thinning drug. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
Abigail Neal reports. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Margaret Hiorns went into hospital with just a chest infection, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
but within weeks her condition was steadily deteriorating. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
Her son, Michael, told a coroner today that his mother had suffered | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
an agonising death. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
Mr Hiorns explained to the inquest that when his mother was admitted | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
to Glangwili Hospital, she was | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
put on an anti-coagulant drug, Tinzarapin. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
He alleges she was given this drug for too long and that she wasn't | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
properly monitored in terms of potential complications, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
including internal bleeding. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
A few weeks later Mrs Hiorns developed a haematoma, | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
severe bruising all down her back from internal bleeding, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
and had to have a blood transfusion. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
Her health worsened and she died the next month of a blood clot. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
Her son gave detailed evidence at the inquest today | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
about her treatment at Glangwili Hospital, | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
outlining what he said amounted to a catalogue of neglectful acts. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
No-one else should have to suffer like this. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
There's guidance and there's documentation in place, | 0:06:08 | 0:06:16 | |
people are aware how dangerous this drug is. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
Not dangerous, but how keenly it must be monitored. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
In a statement, the health board said... | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
And having reviewed the guidance, they are satisfied that the dose | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
of Tinzarapin his mother received was appropriate. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
They went on to apologise for the shortcomings in her care | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
once the internal bleeding had developed and said they had taken | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
measures to address these. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
In reaching a narrative verdict, the coroner highlighted shortcomings | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
in the management of Mrs Hiorns' care at Glangwili Hospital, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
and said he would be writing to the chief executive to flag up | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
the importance of monitoring patients and to ask them to look | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
at the issue around the prescription of that drug, Tinzarapin. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Welsh hopes of securing a Grand Slam in the 2016 6 Nations may be over, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
but Wales are still aiming for the Championship title | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
when they face Scotland tomorrow. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
Dan Biggar's fit after suffering an injury against Ireland | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
as Wales aim for nine wins in a row against the Scots. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
If you go into a game against Scotland and you think that | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
you're just going to be going ahead and | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
winning the game, you're going to come up short. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
Because they're improved as a side. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
Even though, under Vern Cotter, they haven't won a 6 Nations game, | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
I hope that continues on Saturday. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
I'm good mates with Vern Cotter, but he can wait for someone else | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
before he wins a 6 Nations game, please! | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
And in the tournament this evening, Wales Under-20s | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
fought back from 15-5 down to beat Scotland. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
Replacement fly-half Billy McBryde added the winning touch with a late | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
penalty at Eirias Park in Colwyn Bay. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
The final score 18-15. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
Time for the weather now, here's Derek. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
Greetings. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
There's been a chill in the air today, and it is going to stay | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
on the cold side this weekend. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:12 | |
A little rain in places, a little snow on the hills and mountains. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
Sunday should be a better day. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
Dry tonight, but a little rain expected | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
in the south overnight. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
Wintry on higher grounds, a little sleet and snow. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
Temperatures generally above freezing, but a few | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
spots may reach zero. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
Tomorrow, low pressure reaching eastwards across | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
the English Channel. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
That will bring rain to southern Britain, | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
with snow and some of the hills. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
Tomorrow morning, cloudy and damp in places. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:43 | |
A little sleet and snow in the valleys | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
and Brecon Beacons. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
Part of the North and northwest dry and brighter. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
Across the rest of the UK, some rain for southern Britain | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
with an easterly wind. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
A little snow on the hills. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
Most of the snow likely in parts of southeast Scotland and northern | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
England, that could cause disruption. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Otherwise, some dry and bright weather in the North. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
And sunshine, only 4 degrees but 10 degrees in Jersey. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:15 | |
Spots of rain in Wales tomorrow afternoon, could be a few spots | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
of snow on the mountains. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
Some dry weather, bright in parts of the north and northwest. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
Temperatures will be cold. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
If you're heading to the rugby, damp at times, but some dry | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
weather, five Celsius. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
One of two showers on Sunday, cold wind | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
but generally turning dryer and brighter with sunshine. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
It stays cold into next week, northerly winds on Monday. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
But plenty of dry weather, sunny spells on Monday and Tuesday | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
with sharp overnight frosts. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Have a nice weekend. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:57 | |
We'll be back with another update just after 7pm tomorrow evening. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
From all of us here, have a lovely weekend. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
A pulsating Six Nations continues. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
As Ireland head to France in search of a first victory, | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
can Wales use home advantage to beat a deflated Scotland? | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
And jubilant England enter the Stadio Olimpico | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 |
