05/10/2011 South Today

Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's

programme: Personal and confidential information of more

than a thousand patients is lost. Recognition for its role in

honouring military personnel, but who will pay for Wooten Bassett to

become Royal? The Queen, she should pay it.

Freedom in the forest. The first adventure trail for people with

disabilities. And a final resting place. A

memorial for the crew of a D Day The personal details of more than a

thousand patients in the South have been lost after two data blunders.

The East Surrey Hospital has admitted losing a memory stick

containing the confidential medical details of 800 patients. Meanwhile,

in Poole, two diaries containing the personal details of around 240

patients were stolen from the boot of a midwife's car. And what makes

the situation worse is that Poole Hospital NHS says it doesn't know

exactly which patients have been affected. Roisin Gauson has been

following the story and has this report.

Poole hospital is the main port of call for expecting mothers in their

area. It deals with patients from Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset.

Those who use its services between September 2009 and December last

year may have had details:, but this is not an isolated case. The

confidential medical details of a further 800 people in Surrey are

also missing following the loss of a memory stick. It went missing

from the East Surrey Hospital in September last year. Both hospital

say there is no evidence that the missing information has been used

by anyone else. Poole hospital bills of around 6000

patients each year and each midwife around 240. The diaries were the

only records of who had been seen so the hospital cannot pin down his

details have been stolen. The diaries contained information

including names, addresses and contact numbers as well as details

of previous visits. The hospital took the decision not to warn any

of them that the breach in Data Protection had occurred.

Dengie have a duty of care to let patients no? The issue we had is

identifying people. We did not want to alarm people unnecessarily.

Richard Drax represents a number of people who use the hospital. He

feels the management should have been more open. I always believe

honesty is best. Albeit an accident or very bad luck, I think if that

is the case, it then I would like to know. Although the nurse his

diaries were stolen did not do anything wrong, security measures

have since been tightened up. All midwives are encouraged to use

electronic diaries and told to make sure any additional information

written down is kept to a minimum. Roisin Gauson is with me now.

Roisin, what reassurance is being given to the patients tonight?

Poole NHS Trust has told me that any information carried around by

the nurses only a man has a small amount of information. In addition,

electronic diaries are encrypted so a thief cannot access personal

information. Those diaries are only an offer, some nurses are still

using a paper diary, but are being told to keep them close at all

times. Elsewhere, Surrey and Sussex NHS Trust says it is now using

encrypted memory sticks to transfer the information and that the member

of staff concerned has been disciplined and recede further

training. Police have arrested two members of

staff at a care home in Crawley on suspicion of ill-treatment and

neglect. Orchid View in Copthorne specialises in dementia care. A 54-

year-old woman from Godstone and a 48-year-old man from Burgess Hill

have been released on bail. It is not yet known whether they're still

working at the home. Residents have been given the option of moving

elsewhere. A man has been arrested for the attack of a teenage girl.

If 57 year-old man from Salsbury is being held on indecent assault and

possessing a firearm. As you may have seen on the

national news, the Prime Minister has rounded off the season of

political conferences with a big speech in Manchester. Did he do

enough to win over his supporters here in the South? Our Political

Editor, Peter Henley, is in Manchester. What did party members

make of Mr Cameron's rallying call? I think they were quite rallied. It

was a speech about having a can-do attitude. "Energised not

paralysed." difficult to do when the economic news is so challenging.

There was praise for the South's contribution to the motor sports

industry and the way Berkshire's Wellington College is partnering

with academy schools. This was the reaction afterwards. We have a

small business and her urbanisation has made a big difference. He is

fantastic. Very inspirational. was getting going. He was

definitely pressing some buttons. Very sombre with the way the

economy is. I thought he came up to the end of it with a good crescendo

and an uplifting message to us all. It hasn't been all smooth sailing

with his supporters though, has it? There have been controversies over

the council tax freeze and house building?

It's been difficult for all three parties to present new ideas

against a background of such bad economic news, hasn't it? A long

section on house building. David Cameron saying I live in the south

of England and will protect the countryside. For anyone who

proposes -- opposes Development says -- he said it you can take

your opposition to the JobCentre. House building in the south-east

will be stimulus for growth in the economy. It is important for all

parties to create a stimulus in bad economic times. Absolutely. Labour

laying foundations for the future. As a coalition, they are very

United. Over the years the Wiltshire town

of Wootton Bassett has paid tribute to the many military servicemen and

woman from the South. Now, in less than two weeks, the town itself

will be honoured by becoming Royal Wootton Bassett. A special naming

ceremony is being planned in celebration. But the town is

worried about the cost and who will pay the �65,000 bill. Steve Knibbs

explains. Nearly 350 fallen soldiers have now

passed along this famous High Street. Support was unwavering and

that support has led to a royal status. It is an honour that has

come at a cost. Some of the cost are additional because we are

expecting people from out of town. If it was just how people, the cost

would be lower. We have to put on parking for about 4000 cars. All of

these things cost. The bill and �65,000 has to come from the

council. An appeal has already brought in �10,000, but people are

clear about who they think should pay. The Queen. She should pay it.

She has more money than any of us. I do not think we should have to

pay at all. Why bestow and on I knew and then say you have to pay

�65,000 for it. I suppose we will all contribute, but especially the

government because it is a royal thing. The many things aside, there

is still great pride in this town. We were not doing this for any

reward, we were doing it to show our respect for what soldiers have

done. That was it. We did not expect to be rewarded for what we

have done. It is just a natural thing that we should do. Welcome to

Wootton Bassett! Soon to become England's third Royal Town. One on

toper 16, the Princess Royal will be here to bestow royal status.

Still to come in this evening's South Today: Weather and sport with

Reham and Kris. I will be here with this bought.

And autumn returns tomorrow, but is Police are hunting a man who

attacked students on Tuesday night's consecutively last month.

He is seen here following one of his victims before assaulting her.

The man is described as being in his early twenties.

Explosives dating back many years and discovered in a lay-by on a

busy Dorset road were safely detonated today. The explosives,

with wires attached, were found inside a boulder alongside other

rocks on the road between Wareham and Wool. It's thought the device

was left over from construction clearance work, possibly from as

long ago as the 19th century. Campaigners concerned for the

future of a historic Sussex lido have staged a demonstration there

this afternoon. They believe the leaseholder of Saltdean Lido is

deliberately letting the business fail, so the site can be

redeveloped. But he insists that's not the case. Chrissie Reidy

reports. It was hailed as the most

innovative design of its kind in Britain and after -- and

architectural treasure. Campaigners insist Saltdean lido is purposely

being run down so the site can be redeveloped. We definitely feel

that this building has been forgotten. We want the council to

start legal proceedings to get the lease back. Dennis Audley he took

over the lease says campaigners have no need to worry. It is my

intention to restore the building in the future and to maintain it

permanently. To do that, we have to have some development on a lot less

a scale and it will not pick on the front of the building. In 2010,

plans were put forward to fill in the outdoors Paul unbilled 40 flats.

Campaigners formed the save Saltdean lido group to says the

site. Rumours that we are going to not the place down or fill the ball

in all build a block of flats... That is not happening? That is

definitely not happening. If anybody knows about planning

regulations, you cannot knock down a great to building. The people are

sending a clear message, we will not let flats be developed on this

site. The city council say they will do

whatever is necessary to ensure the future of this building is safe and

remains a complete -- community facility.

Lollipop men and women in Dorset are set to lose their jobs. The

county council has reduced crossing patrol from 51-61 -- and 61-51.

Patrols have been their subject of conversation by parents.

One of the Isle of Wight top tourist rest could be run by a

community group. It will save �300,000. The gardens were founded

in 1970. An ancient mill pond in West Sussex,

which supports a rich bird community in the area, could be

drained. The large pond in Crawley needs repairs which could cost up

to �8 million. Now the council is asking residents if it should pay

The cheapest option would be to train the pond. That would cost

three or �4 million. Alternatively for 68 million it could be

there for donkey's years, they should keep it. Spend the �8

make a decision next spring, but it will be two or three years before

work gets under way here. The UK's first interactive forest

adventure trail for people with disabilities opened today at Alice

Holt Forest in Hampshire. The project is a joint effort between

the Forestry Commission and the Treloar Trust, which provides

specialist care for young people with disabilities. Sarah Holmes

reports. For the students, this was a rare

opportunity to experience the Forest up close. The trail allows

the user to get really close to the trees and vegetation. Particularly

this Ben, we are so pleased with that. It enabled disabled people to

do what able-bodied children love to do. I think I can see and

knobbly nose. Before the trial was hard work for wheelchairs, but now

it is easy to negotiate so people can move around independently. The

staff have also designed a communication book so users can

talk about their experience. It is a dream come true that my kids have

come back and they have enjoyed the trail. I can quite clearly see that

they have put in a hard FO into making it accessible. I think that

it is a lovely place to be. Forestry Commission says it hopes

the work will be used as an example for other trails so that more

people with disabilities can have access to the UK woodlands.

Aldershot Town have announced ticket details for this month's

glamour Carling Cup tie at home to Manchester United. These were the

scenes when the Shots were paired with probably the biggest club in

the world. And there's sure to be a clamour for tickets, with the match

set to be a 7,000 sell-out. It's the biggest game in the re-formed

club's short history. Season ticket holders will be able to buy their

tickets from next Wednesday. And if you went to the win over Rochdale

in the previous round, you can get your Manchester United tickets from

Saturday the 15th. Well, while all eyes are on that

Carling Cup tie, it wasn't a good night for Aldershot in the

Johnstone's Paint Trophy. Here's the pick of the action from last

night's matches. All the action came in the second

All the action came in the second half as Aldershot gave themselves

too much to do. The visitors went in front four minutes after the

interval. Young had no chance with the second three minutes later. A

fine finish doubling Oxford's advantage. The shops were given a

lifeline 14 minutes from the end. A clinical first-half performance

helps the Bournemouth past Yeovil. Two goals sent them on their way.

The second, thanks to questionable defending. It was 3-0 after half-

an-hour. Yeovil rallied to score twice in the second half, but it

was too little too late. Portsmouth are hosting a friendly

Portsmouth are hosting a friendly against Russian side FC Rostov

tonight. It's to raise money for families affected by a plane crash,

in which an entire ice hockey team were killed. Many players and

officials from Lokomotiv Yaroslavl were among the 44 people lost when

their plane crashed on the way to a game last month. A number of those

killed were known to Pompey's Russian owners Vladimir Antonov and

Roman Dubov. Admission at Fratton Park tonight is just two pounds.

Kick off is 7.30pm. The World Cup winner's medal went under the

hammer today. The 72 year-old was a member of the squad when they

lifted the trophy in 1966, but he only received the medal two years

ago. A buyer paid �22,000 for the items today.

Organisers of this month's Great South Run have announced their

first major signing for the event. Double world marathon champion Abel

Kirui from Kenya heads the elite field in the ten-mile race, which

takes place in Portsmouth and Southsea at the end of the month. A

very poignant story we have now. It sank in the Solent more than 60

years ago with the loss of 13 lives. Now a search is on to find the

families of those who died on the D Day landing craft. The idea is to

carry out a special memorial service which is being organised by

the Southsea branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club. Mark Sanders has the

story. The crew were so close to home after being in harm's way, but

in the approach to Portsmouth Harbour, the landing craft was

swallowed by the sea. It was lost in a terrible accident claiming all

13 lives on board. Nearly 70 years on, in the murk of the Solent, the

wreck was identified by the Southsea sub-aqua Club. The divers

got special permission to survey their Rec. People were lost and

this was their final resting place so we have made sure not to disturb

anything. Because it is dark and gloomy, the visibility is not good

at times, but that adds to the atmosphere of it. This is it, they

are on the beach plunging waist- deep. LCD 47 was part of the D-Day

armada. It's she was returning to Portsmouth when disaster struck.

And 7th June, 1944 and four miles from shore, she was in collision

with the battleships. The landing craft was sliced into. Of the 13

crew, only one man was recovered but he died. The divers are

organising a memorial service at sea and are trying to trace

surviving families and comrade of the men who died. He for two months

of the loss of the landing craft was not reported so a lot of

families did not know what happened. This is the first opportunity they

have had in those 70 years to actually played -- paid their last

respects. Some of the families have been found and the nature of the

memorial service is being discussed with the Royal Navy chaplain. It

will be an act of remembrance to ensure that the loss of one landing

craft crew is not forgotten in the sweep of history.

It is very special if they could find the other families of those

who lost their lives so that they could be part of the memorial.

We have the weather now for the next couple of days. It is a cliche,

but it is Batten down the hatches. Bracing yourself. I have been

bracing myself every single day. Better be warned. Shall we have a

Better be warned. Shall we have a look? Of course it is turning

breezy and come through this evening and we have a little bit of

rain on the cards, so wet and windy seen. The talking point, clearer

condition starting tonight. The front to the north-west is slipping

South East would and behind it quite strong winds. As it clears up,

you can see fresher, caller conditions. Temperatures around 10

Celsius for the far north. Tomorrow morning sets the scene, a colder

day to come. We will see stronger wind at and on those winds, we will

have showers through midday into the evening. A dramatic drop in

temp -- in temperature. Into the evening we see the show was eased

away. For the far north, around eight or 10 Celsius. For the far

south, 10 or 12 Celsius. Friday we have high pressure with us pushing

him from the south-west giving bright conditions. How far north a

high pressure will extend remains to be seen. That will be helpful in

keeping a cold front at bay. Dry conditions on Friday, but a little

bit on the breezy side. Not as breezy as Thursday. Temperatures

not as high on and -- not as high as on Monday. A few showers and a

noticeable difference. Autumnal weather, windy conditions, a touch

brighter on Friday, Saturday cloudy and Sunday chilly with the

possibility of rain. possibility of rain.

Repaired, I am prepared. Look at the satellite pictures and it is

quite funny. It's someone is now offering trips to space. Bailey
