This case raises some big qtestions about the nature

It does. We were hoping for more enters tonight. We contacted the

Department of Health and thdy told us it is down to local clinhcians to

make decisions about spending. As for the Nottingham city clinical

commissioning group, they s`id no one was available to do an hnterview

tonight. They did a bus a written statement.

And how does it explain the situation?

This statement says they ard unable to comment publicly. And th`t they

have a finite budget for Nottingham. They have to judge the needs of the

whole population of the citx. They are following local policy to make

sure there is equity across the region.

There is a glimmer of hope. They said they will review the policy and

look at any new evidence th`t is available.

So where does this all leavd Ian then?

They think there may be a hhp replacement but he thinks that is to

Derbyshire police admit that all of their efforts to trace them have

So they're asking for help from the public.

They are the dirty dozen. 12 inmates who either fled or failed to return

to prison. That was between 199 and 2006. It was a time when thd

authorities didn't issue public appeals to help them trace people.

Among them this man. Last sden in 1997. He was convicted of mtrder at

Leicester Crown Court in 1977. The police say they haven't givdn up

hope of tracing all 12 men. We appreciate their appearances will

have changed. It is whether somebody out there has an idea of whdre they

might be. We have concentrated on some of the contacts we knew they

had at the time they will h`ve new contacts now. The government says

open resins are vital to rehabilitating long`term offenders

and that the national rate far outstanding inmates has reached a

record low. A further 13 inlates since 2007 are outstanding. That

security of this prison and the inmates which are brought hdre is

purely a matter for the Minhstry of Justice. But that the force will do

all it can to recapture those who have gone on the run from hdre.
