Stopping people with mental health problems ending up | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
We have exclusive access to the teams who try to get | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Also: The growing number of apprentices in the NHS | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
and what it could mean for you as a patient. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
How arsenic may have played a part in her poor eyesight. | :00:22. | :00:41. | |
BBC South has been given exclusive access to some of the teams | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
who are trying to stop people with mental health problems | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Across the South there's been a big fall in the number ending | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
up in police cells - down by more than 800 in two years. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
But there's been an increase in mentally ill people being taken | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
to casualty and mental health units - up by more than 800 | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Peter Cooke reports. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
Side-by-side on the front line, Reading's street triage team links | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
up a mental health worker and police officer who attend emergency | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
The team advise those in need about finding suitable care and help | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
them avoid being taken into custody or hospital. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
This man called 999, saying he was depressed | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Yeah, it does, but the thing is, when it goes away, | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
it is still here with me, you know, the mental | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Nobody knows what I'm going through, basically. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
The scheme will soon be operating seven days a week. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
It means that we can do some reviewing in advance | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
We get some instant updates on the background of people and it | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
I am hoping that this is something that is going to be seen | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
as a beneficial service across the whole country | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
because it will definitely make a big difference, | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
as it has made a difference in this area. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
A team of mental health experts are on hand | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
at the Royal Berkshire Hospital to support them. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Everyone is now conscious that we need to work as a team. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Most people's problems cannot be solved by a single service, | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
The team operate 24 hours a day to deal with the ever-increasing | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
The cost of burying a dead child in Oxford has been abolished | :02:31. | :02:41. | |
Parents used to be charged ?340 if they lost a child | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
A small number of councils across the country, | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
including South Oxfordshire, had already dropped the fees. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
A man's been left with back and knee injuries after being | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
It happened near Serpentine Court in the Water Eaton area. | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
The 26-year-old man was stabbed several times after a fight broke | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
out between a group of people on Saturday afternoon. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
An investigation's started into a major oil spill | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
The spill has affected almost two miles of the river. | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
Booms have been put in the water near Grazeley to stop | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
The number of apprentices at the John Radcliffe Hospital | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
in Oxford has doubled in the past year. | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
The health trust says it's now taking on even more to improve | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
patient care and tackle the long-term problem of recruiting | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
17-year-old Olivia has been working at the John Radcliffe Hospital | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
She is one of almost 30 apprentices here who have taken the decision | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
At the beginning it was quite scary because you don't really know | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
anyone, everyone is quite a lot older as well. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
And not a lot of people know what an apprenticeship is. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
But as they have kind of got to know what I can do, | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
you do start to feel part of the team. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Clinical apprentice numbers here have doubled in the last year | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
and Oxford University Hospitals Trust plan to appoint | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
At the moment we have got about 13 clinical apprentices and 13 business | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
administration apprentices, and a couple of | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
But actually, we've had a lot more than that actually move | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
on to permanent positions or leave to go to university. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
So, for a lot of them, it is a real stepping stone into the NHS. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
In yesterday's Budget, the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, | :04:34. | :04:34. | |
pledged an extra ?425 million to the NHS in England | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
Money for plans to improve local services, but critics say | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
this is just a cloak to disguise forthcoming cuts. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
So, as people continue to fight for their NHS, | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
is using cheaper apprentices a quick fix to a bigger problem | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
I do actually want to be a nurse when I'm older, | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
so I'm going to go down and keep pursuing it. | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
So I'm not just going to leave it and go and do something else. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Earlier I spoke to Laura Roberts, who's the managing director | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
of Health Education England - an independent group which sets out | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
to improve the quality of healthcare through better training. | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
I asked her who's signing up to be an apprentice in the NHS. | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
It is a huge variety of people who are signing up at the moment. | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
We have school leavers, as you say, people particularly | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
We have apprentices in their 30s, 40s and 50s. | :05:31. | :05:41. | |
We also, within the NHS, have about... | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Over 70% of our apprentices are women. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
It is not just about school leavers, it is not just about kind | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
of traditional manual work, and it is not just for boys. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
What about the view that there is a danger of using apprentices | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
to plug staff shortages, even though they are inexperienced | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Oh, I think that has changed quite considerably, really. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
The NHS is really keen to almost set the benchmark for high | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
We produced over 19,000 apprenticeship starts last year | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
and over 90% of those people carried on working in the NHS at the end | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
of their apprenticeship, which I think is evidence | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
that they both received good quality training and there was a real job | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
From a patient's perspective, in terms of clinical apprentices, | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
how much responsibility are they given in terms | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
Oh, they will be very strictly supervised for those apprentices | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
So they would be ones that are working in, say, | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
rehabilitation or on the wards and there will always be registered | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
But apprentices are about way more than just the direct patient care, | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
we have them in all fields, in admin, in finance, | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
We have them in gardening, plumbing, electricians. | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
A marble flowerpot, used in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, | :07:17. | :07:28. | |
has turned out to be a Roman stone coffin, dating back | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
The container was discovered by chance when an antiques expert | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
visited the stately home in West Oxfordshire. | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
Could this be the most expensive flowerpot in the country? | :07:39. | :07:48. | |
For many years it was tucked away in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
but an expert spotted its historic significance - it dates | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
It's always a lovely surprise to find something like that. | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
In a place this size, we have so many beautiful artefacts | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
but it is always surprising to find something you didn't know special | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
is actually really special, something that you have seen every | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
day but you did not realise what it was. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
It has been valued at ?300,000, but it will not be | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
It is one of the many treasures of Blenheim Palace. | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
It was brought here in the early 1800s, you know, why | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
Visitors to Blenheim can see the sarcophagus but it's not kept | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
It is inside, given the respect it deserves. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
A Harry Potter-inspired sport's tournament is taking place | :08:37. | :08:48. | |
this weekend, involving a team from Oxford. | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
Quidditch is one of the fastest-growing | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
Jonathan Eden has been finding out more. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
From the pages of Harry Potter to the fields of Oxford University | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
parks, Quidditch is fast becoming the most progressive competitive | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
So it was made about 11, 12 years ago now in America and it | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
came to the UK a bit later, but it was some people who had | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
read the books and went, "This would be really cool to try." | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
So they made it and then obviously, being on the ground, | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
you have to change some of the rules, but there are things | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
that are still in the books - both genders playing, | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
same number of people on the pitch, the same sort of aims, | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
but it has just become a sport in its own right. | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
There is basically a new rule book out every year trying to refine | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
the aspects to make it a better spot. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
Each team consists of seven players: A Keeper, three Chasers, | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
My job is to prevent Hoops and I like it because it involves | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
less running than a Chaser and I can use my height to intercept. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
I'm a Seeker, we come on 80 minutes into the game and the job for us | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
The Snitch is worth 30 points and when we catch it, | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
it ends the game, so it is quite make or break. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
I'm a Chaser and I play with a Quaffle, and my role | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
is to throw the Quaffle into the Hoop. | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
This weekend will see the annual Quidditch Cup with over 30 teams | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
The team from Oxford University Quidditch Club, | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
the Oxford Quiddlings, will be battling with clubs | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
from Reading and Southampton for the top prize. | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
I'll have the headlines at 8pm and a full bulletin at 10.30pm. | :10:18. | :10:27. | |
Now more of today's stories with Sally Taylor. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
Hampshire and Sussex border. It happens at Row gate just east of | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
Petersfield. Stay with us to find out | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
about the power behind the Wessex Warriors as the team | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
explains a new style There are calls for the resignation | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
of Surrey County Council leader David Hodge tonight after further | :10:41. | :10:50. | |
twists in the "sweetheart Letters released last night revealed | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
the fury of some MPs who thought the county had been promised | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
40 million pounds of extra cash. The documents obtained after a BBC | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Freedom of Information request detail extensive negotiations | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
to allow the County Council to be the first in the country to keep | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
all of their business rates. But in Parliament today | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
the Local Government Secretary answered Labour questions by saying | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
no deal was done. The BBC has now published a letter | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
from DCLG officials showing they did in fact offer Surrey more cash | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
in a unique deal. Did the Secretary of State | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
know about that letter Surrey approached the department, | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
as do many other councils before a financial settlement asking | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
for more money and they made a request being considered | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
for business rates retention plan There's been a rise in the number | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
of babies and very young children At Southampton General | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
there are currently five children under the age of five | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
who are waiting for transplants, Many will need regular dialysis | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
while they wait for surgery. Our health correspondent, | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
David Fenton reports from inside the special unit that | :12:11. | :12:11. | |
helps keep them alive. Suleman spends three hours a day | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
three times a week on a dialysis machine. He was given just a 1% | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
chance of survival as a baby, but he If he didn't have this piece | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
of equipment here, I don't know, we would really be struggling | :12:31. | :12:44. | |
with him, so we are very fortunate he has responded | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
well to this treatment. The team here sees many children | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
with serious kidney problems. Within 48 hours he was sitting up | :12:50. | :13:11. | |
and eating and his denial and since then has been astonishing. | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
Day-to-day, you wouldn't know to look at him. | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
But the number of patients under the age of four is growing, | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
The number under the age of four is increasing | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
because we are diagnosing them better, looking after them better. | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
Babies and toddlers can take a full adult kidney and thrive if they can | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
find a donor. Sometimes that is the hardest part. | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
Growing up in Hampshire, he was constantly bullied | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
Later, when Daniel Gray was training to be a teacher, he was advised | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
to hide his homosexuality being told it would give his students | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
But now the 32-year-old secondary school teacher is hoping to become | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
the positive role model he never had. | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
He told our reporter Nikki Mitchell about his nerve-wracking decision | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
This assembly hall was packed with students having their daily | :14:15. | :14:27. | |
assembly. On the big screen was a video of me talking about LGBT | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
history month and I came out to my students. The build up was | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
nerve-racking, it was tense. As a gay man, I know how important it is | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
to grow up with positive role models who support you, understand you and | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
help you see it gets better. We have set up the culture club... There | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
were shrugs and smiles and a couple of mouths fell open the generally | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
the reaction was muted, only after the assembly did the reaction | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
becomes stronger and more positive. I was relieved it went so well. I | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
sat in the assembly going, oh, my God. He has come out, what is the | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
reaction going to be? We are the most accepting generation, people | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
are fine. I was shocked at first but not in a way, oh my God, she is gay | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
but he came out and in confidence and I thought it was quite | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
fantastic. Everyone talked about it but everyone reacted positively. It | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
is a good feeling to know someone else is different and they are OK. | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
Because I had such a horrendous experience at school, it has been | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
important to me to come out to the students because I think I want to | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
be the role model that I never had. My secondary school experience in | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
Basingstoke I was bullied everyday for being gay, I did not know I was | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
and they called me names and push me around in corridors. I was upset | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
every day going home. The schools did not know how to deal with it but | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
now the schools know how to deal with it. Our job as teachers is not | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
just back curriculum but about building young people into | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
competent, strong and individuals and that is why I have done it and I | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
hope other teachers will see what a positive impact it can have. He is a | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
role model. How popular is live music | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
and is there still an appetite Today there's a big effort under way | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
to try to check up on the health Southampton is playing a major role | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
and our reporter Chrissy Sturt has been sampling what | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
the city has to offer. With these incredible vocals, it is | :16:41. | :17:02. | |
no surprise this student band loves going to gigs in Southampton. It is | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
a vibrant, it is always happening, there was always something going on. | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
The engine rooms by the docks so I knew Southampton would be a great | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
place to study music. But they need help, if it was cheaper to hire | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
venues, this band could perform even more. That is the kind of | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
information the survey is after, who is listening to live music and why? | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
We have a team of students from Solent going out to survey the live | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
music scene looking at several venues and they are collecting data | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
from the venues so we can get an accurate data picture of what goes | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
on in the live music scene in Southampton. | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
Let's go live to Chrissy now at The Engine Rooms in Southampton, | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
where they're preparing to hold a live music event this evening. | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
600 students have bought tickets to be here tonight in the engine rooms, | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
great atmosphere, they have come to see a band. Georgia, you are a | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
student questioning people, what do you want to achieve with a census? | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
The most important thing about the live music census is to raise | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
awareness nationwide of how important these venues are. Are they | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
facing threats? Yeah, there are a lot of things challenging small | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
venues, the rise in business rates, exchange rates decreasing because of | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
Brexit so it is a worrying time. And you want to see them survived? Yeah, | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
it is integral to the music scene to have small venues because without a | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
small stage artists can develop that sounds to play at larger arenas. And | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
also promoters need to start somewhere small. Thank you so much. | :18:58. | :19:07. | |
The Wessex Warriors are one of the newer Powerchair football | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Formed 18 months ago they're already making a big impact. | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
They were named the Dorset FA's outstanding club of the year | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
recently for the opportunities they're providing to disabled | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
I went along to meet the players and have a go myself. | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
They are warriors with heart on the pitch, the Wessex team spans all | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
ages and disabilities. We tried to take out disability because that as | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
it is turning up and playing and throughout the community there are | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
so many examples of this throughout all disabilities. Many youngsters | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
grow up dreaming of playing football. Power chair football has | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
been a life changer for those like Adam. It is a sport I would not be | :19:53. | :20:01. | |
able to do but now I can. I can make new friends and play. Lovely touch. | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
As you can see, I am still getting to grips with using a chair, it | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
takes skill and touch and precision, a tiny movement and you can be often | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
away on the left wing. Each chair costs ?7,000 to buy. The funds are | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
raised through a variety of sources and with every chair is a new | :20:25. | :20:36. | |
player. Here we go. Goal! Not everyone can control the chair with | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
their hands. Keith Harris uses his tongue. I became disabled after | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
contracting an adult strain of flu. I cannot use my limbs. As a | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
consultant said, the best muscle in the body is the tongue. You need | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
many skills, including driving the chair. They are sensitive to drive. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
They are hard to drive and it is the first skill and then you think about | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
the positioning and space and knowing where your team mates are. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
For those volunteers the reward is remarkable. I love it. I love to see | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
them smile and have the opportunity that they would not have and one of | :21:28. | :21:32. | |

The women's lacrosse players... Estate is schools tournament Aogo 20 | :21:51. | :22:01. | |
nations will compete at the event taking place in July for ten days | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
and starts on the 12th. But one of the UK's greatest authors | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
would have had trouble reading and writing towards the end | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
of her life because she may Spectacles belonging | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
to the Hampshire writer Jane Austen have only just been | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
tested by optometrists. And thrown up some surprising | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
results that cast new light Ben Moore has taken an exclusive | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
look at the evidence. She may have been one | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
of history's greatest writers, but for Jane Austin, | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
just reading her novels would have Her spectacles have been | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
at the British library in her writing desk for 20 years, | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
but only now can they bring Back in the early 19th century, | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
there were prescription similar to what we have today, | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
so what we did was have somebody bring in a portable lens meter | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
so that we could very, The first pair of glasses | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
have a low prescription. Her second pair show her vision | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
deteriorated before the final pair showed she lived | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
in a very blurry world. This could explain why | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
she died so young. The possibility of her being | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
poisoned accidentally We know that arsenic can cause | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
cataracts now and arsenic was often put into medication for other | :23:27. | :23:41. | |
illnesses, like rheumatism. The spectacles are 200 years old and | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
made from natural materials like tortoiseshell and glass but one | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
thing we don't know is whether they were specifically prescribed for | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
Jane Austen or whether she just bought them from a travelling | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
salesman, the same way we do when buying reading glasses off the | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
shelf. Luckily, using modern optometry we can see just what Jane | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
Austin's eyesight was like. That is plus one. Quite blurred. But you can | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
cope. This is plus three. Yeah, that is pretty blurred. Getting | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
difficult. That is 475. I cannot see your face. I can only see my hand. | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
So, one of the worlds greatest novelists would have had trouble | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
reading and writing. She would have noticed the difference when the | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
light was poor and overtime as she aged it would be have been more | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
important to have a stronger prescription because your eyes need | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
more help for reading as you age. The British library 12 in | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
