Good evening. for the news where you are. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
A coroner's ruled that neglect and gross failures in care | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
contributed to the death of a teenager from meningitis. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Izzy Gentry, who was 16, died last May at the BRI. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
She'd gone to hospital two days previously but had been discharged. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Our health correspondent Matthew Hill reports. | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
This grief is not something you get over or move on from. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Today's conclusion that Izzy's death could have been prevented was both | :00:35. | :00:44. | |
welcome and distressing to her parents. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
Izzy was taken by ambulance to the BRI emergency department | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
A paramedic suspected she had meningitis as she was vomiting, | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
had neck pains, dizziness, was lethargic and had | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
But by 5am, she had been discharged after being told | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
But her symptoms got worse and she later died | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
The coroner said the junior doctor who discharged Isabel did not take | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
She said his diagnosis of gastroenteritis was inaccurate | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
and his decision was wrong - he should have reached a different | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
diagnosis of sepsis or severe inflammatory response syndrdome, | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
diagnosis of sepsis or severe inflammatory response syndrome, | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
and that he should have referred her case up to a registrar. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Yesterday the hearing was adjourned because Izzy's family were so upset | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
about evidence they heard from an expert witness. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
A paediatrician said if she'd been admitted to her unit | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
she would have been given antibiotics, which would | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
Whilst we acknowledge that the hospital have recognised | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
that they made serious communication errors, their initial | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
approach seemed to be damage limitation rather than saying, | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
a 16-year-old has died in our care, we must learn and improve. | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
The hospital will now revise the way they train junior doctors | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Izzy's death was the catalyst for a study of sixth-formers to find | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
out if it's worthwhile vaccinating teenagers | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
We've now got to do the lab work and look to see if giving | :02:19. | :02:30. | |
them the vaccine drove down the number of bacteria | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Izzy's very sad case was very much the catalyst that got us on to doing | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
this study and got the various people involved on board, | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
the funders, different agencies, the different health workers, | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Her friends have given their support throughout. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
There is now more pressure to reconsider if they, too, | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
should be protected from meningitis B in the same way | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Police have arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
It follows the death of 25-year-old Jordan Taylor, | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
who was stabbed in the early hours of Sunday morning and died | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Earlier today we learnt that police had also arrested a 24-year-old man | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
but he's been forensically eliminated from their investigation. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
A mother whose three-year-old son was killed by a two-tonne trailer | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
has stepped up her campaign for better enforcement | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Freddie Hussey died three years ago after the runaway trailer trapped | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
His mother Donna has called for more rigorous checks | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
A man's been jailed for 14 months after a high-speed police | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Helicopter footage shows his car racing round blind corners, hitting | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Clive Hill from Radstock had failed to stop for police in November. | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
He admitted a number of offences including dangerous driving. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
There was disappointment for lots of West Country racing fans today, | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
as one of the favourites of the big race at Cheltenham fell | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
It was Gold Cup Day, of course, and there were big hopes for both | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
The Irish, irrepressible at Cheltenham. Could they now turned | :04:13. | :04:28. | |
the gold cup green? The money flowed in the direction of the Ruby Walsh, | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
who won four races yesterday. Most experienced horse in the race and | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
he's going to run home. But hopes rested with Cue Card and Native | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
River. Could those give the trainer a piece of history? Come on, Cue | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Card, my son! The Lizzie Kelly, the first woman in the gold cup for 33 | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
years, the dream lasted just two fences. Cue Card's challenge ended | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
three fences from home, just as it did last year... Another Irish horse | :05:08. | :05:21. | |
raced to the line. A Gloucestershire trainer jockey sneaking in ahead of | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Native River. With the build-up we thought we would come and win but we | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
haven't. This is a relief for me. Everyone has got up and is fine, so | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
we take all the positives. A place amongst the greats and another great | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
day for the Irish. Bristol City have tonight moved out | :05:40. | :05:50. | |
of the relegation zone with a 4-0 Lee Tomlin put City | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
ahead before striker Tammy Abraham made it | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
2-0 before half time. Aiden Flint added a third | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
in the second half and David Cotterill's late penalty | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
sealed the win. The West's women's rugby | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
players have helped England secure their title | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
as Six Nations Champions, with their first | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
Grand Slam Since 2012. Five local players | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
started on the pitch with Bristol's Amy Wilson-Hardy | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
getting them off to a winning start. The visitors led throughout | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
the match in Ireland with England That's where I must wish you a very | :06:22. | :06:33. | |
good night and a good weekend. Here is Ian with a look at the forecast. | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
A fairly breezy or windy story through much of the weekend with a | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
lot of cloud around, but many districts staying dry or largely so. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Patchy rain about, more particularly so on Saturday, with most of that | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
getting soaked up over higher ground out towards the west of us. Some | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
patchy outbreaks of rain tonight across parts of Exmoor and some of | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
that through the Bristol Channel. Further eastwards, a largely dry | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
picture with temperatures at eight or nine, so comparatively mild, but | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
staying fairly windy. Heading into Saturday, you will see the signal | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
for periods of occasionally like rain spreading in from the West. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Some of that will be heavy over Exmoor but temperatures will be | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
milder compared to Friday despite the fact it's rather breezy. We | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
should still get between 11 it is rather breezy. Now for the | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
national outlook. It was quite a wet day across many | :07:32. | :07:41. | |
northern and western parts of the UK. This was the view in Lancashire | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
not so long ago. For the weekend we are looking to see further rain, all | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
coming from the west, so the further east you are, it should be drier. It | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
will be quite a windy weekend for all parts. The radar from earlier | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
today showing quite a bit of rain across the North and west. The only | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
rain across the East has been light and patchy, but heavy bursts further | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
west. The satellite sequence shows cloud over the UK at the moment. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Plenty more cloud over the Atlantic, and it's heading our way, most of it | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
rain bearing. Tomorrow night, still wet for most areas. Snow over the | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
hills of Scotland, not much rain in the east, but still some. With the | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
crowd and breeze, temperatures kept up at eight or nine foremost, but | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
northern Scotland will be cold enough for icy patches in the far | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
north. | :08:37. | :08:38. |
