Wollaston, the MP who first brought to the attention of parliamentary | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
First tonight, a nine`year`old boy is in a critical condition after he | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
fell from a moving coach. It was travelling back to Stamford in | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Lincolnshire from a rugby tournament when the accident happened. | :00:25. | :00:42. | |
The nine`year`old fell from the entrance door halfway along the | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
coach, suffering severe head and leg injuries. Police confirmed they were | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
20 children and ten adults on`board. Nobody else was injured. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
The boy 's parents where in the party, on their way home from | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
playing in a rugby tournament. A police investigation is now underway | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
into the door came open. There were some queueing inside the coach from | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
children waiting to use the toilet. Somehow the door has come open. Any | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
idea how this has happened? At this time, no. The boy was taken to | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
hospital in King's Lynn and he has since been transferred to Cambridge. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
Their parents in the coach, they were devastated last night. They | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
really looked visibly shocked and disturbed and it was a novel | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
experience for them. The coach company have not commented but the | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Confederation of passenger transport, the body that represents | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
coach operators says they have a fund safety record. We're not sure | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
what has happened on this journey yesterday. Before a driver takes any | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
vehicle out of the depot into service, a number of checks are | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
undertaken. A look at the tyres, the safety features, the seat belt and | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
the seats, and also the emergency doors. Police have appealed for any | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
witnesses to contact their investigation team without delay. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
Millions of pounds are to be spent offering a more user`friendly | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
service at GP's surgeries. It could mean some of them are open seven | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
days a week and for longer hours. It is part of a government programme | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
designed to make doctors more accessible to patients but the money | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
is only available for a year. Just how easy do you find it to get | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
to see your doctor? Very difficult. You can ring up for an appointment | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
and you then have to wait three weeks. You have to wait weeks for an | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
appointment. That may change for up to 1 million patients across | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire for one pilot year. The doctors will | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
have access to a new ?5.2 million fund so their patients will have | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
better access to them. For many years we just expected to people to | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
come along in the morning and that is not always convenient for | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
patients to do that, so I'm looking forward to seeing what successes or | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
failures they have so we can plan accordingly. What sort of thing | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
might you see if your GP surgery is taking part? Longer opening hours | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
possibly from 8am until 8pm, and opening at weekend. Consultations by | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
e`mail and even video. That is a very good idea, especially if you | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
are working, you need to be able to access it at all sorts of times. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
When GP says there are not enough doctors to make seven`day working | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
feasible long`term. Our concern is that man is being stalked and we | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
have not got a hope in hell of being able to meet and then patients get | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
frustrated. It is a relationship that will change with those taking | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
part of the next year. It is impossible to know what the outcome | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
will be. He wanted a happy ever after and now | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
he has got it. Ady is a young boy, one of hundreds of children in care, | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
looking for a loving family. Three years after we first featured him on | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
East Midlands Today, he has got his wish and has started a new life with | :04:39. | :04:48. | |
new parents. Like most ten`year`olds, Ady love | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
playing on his computer at home but for him, having parents and a place | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
to call home is new. I last met him three years ago, living in a | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
children's home. Social services took the unusual step of allowing | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
him to be on television in the hope of finding him in the family. It | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
worked. Step forward Leanne and Barney who are now a very proud mum | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
and dad. I know people look at him and see lots of notes but we did not | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
ever really see that. He is so affectionate that you cannot help | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
fall in love with him. It has taken the couple long time to be able to | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
foster Ady. In the future, they hope to adopt him. It has taken us a year | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
for him to move in. It has been a long journey. He has been getting to | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
know as a gradual basis. Since moving in with them, Ady has | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
thrived. Before we came here, on a daily basis he was walking maybe 30 | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
steps. Two weeks ago, he walked a mile for Sport Relief. He has had | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
his feeding tube removed and he's doing it himself. It is great. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Everyone speaks of what we are doing for him at for us, it is what he | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
does for us. He has been brilliant. Sadly, there are more children like | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Ady who need permanent homes, homes that meet such a difference. I would | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
not change him for the world at all. It does not matter what needs he | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
has, I would not change him for the world. You are staying forever, | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
Anju? That's all for now. The weather is | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
next. High`pressure is in charge so it | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
will be staying dry. Plenty of sunshine until Thursday. We have | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
very indie conditions at the moment. The winds were used to night in the | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
cloud will continue to not a way as well and that means it is quite cold | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
tonight with temperatures down to for degrees. A cold start tomorrow | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
but a beautiful sunny start to the day. Most of us holding onto that | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
sunshine with highs of around 14 degrees. That's it from us, I will | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
leave you with a look at the outlook. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
will be fresher than today. 12 degrees along the vestry and 16 in | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
London. More sunshine for Wednesday and clouding over towards the end of | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
the week. Your regional forecast will have offered you another fine | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
day tomorrow. That is the story nationwide. High | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
pressure is plonked on top of us. This evening it has been turning | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
quite chilly quite quickly and it will be cold for | :07:56. | :07:57. |
