taken ill at a dance event tonight. There is also a first

:00:00.:00:09.

Good evening. A GP in Oxford says he's prepared to take the NHS to

:00:10.:00:16.

court if it forces him to hand over his patients' confidential medical

:00:17.:00:20.

records without their consent. The NHS is planning to automatically

:00:21.:00:23.

take the data from every practice and hospital and store it on a

:00:24.:00:26.

central computer. But Dr Gordon Gancz says he's worried the

:00:27.:00:29.

information could end up in the wrong hands. Tom Turrell has the

:00:30.:00:38.

story. It goes without saying, your medical records are confidential,

:00:39.:00:42.

between you and rour doctor, or does it? The NHS in England is, from

:00:43.:00:46.

April, planning to start storing your records on a vast database and

:00:47.:00:52.

anl ising, unless you tell it not to. It says it is to help to were

:00:53.:00:57.

tekt the country's healthcare needs in the future, but one Oxfordshire

:00:58.:01:02.

doctor said that he is worried that the information could be sold to

:01:03.:01:07.

private companies without patient's permission. He says he will not let

:01:08.:01:10.

that happen. I am not against research. I could

:01:11.:01:15.

not work in a research university unless it was so, but it must be

:01:16.:01:21.

with express consent. No, I am not prepared to release that information

:01:22.:01:25.

without written permission from individual patients.

:01:26.:01:29.

But the NHS won't stand for that. It insists that he is in breach of the

:01:30.:01:32.

Government guidelines. It claims that this is not about selling your

:01:33.:01:37.

medical records on, either but rather, it is about conducting

:01:38.:01:41.

research to improve the healthcare of all.

:01:42.:01:44.

If somebody wants to find out why you went to see your GP last

:01:45.:01:48.

Thursday, they will not be able to do that, but they can identify

:01:49.:01:52.

trends. If lots of people are turning up in general practices with

:01:53.:01:57.

conditions, if that is then spilling over to A departments, resulting

:01:58.:02:02.

in unplanned admissions, we will be able to spot the trends and

:02:03.:02:05.

anticipate them and intervene earlier.

:02:06.:02:09.

So, how do the people of Oxfordshire feel about the plans? I think it is

:02:10.:02:13.

private information. There is enough information out there. I don't know

:02:14.:02:17.

that it bothers me. If they are not getting my name or anything. I would

:02:18.:02:21.

not like it to be shared with a third party, but I have no

:02:22.:02:25.

objections with it being from GP to hospital.

:02:26.:02:30.

The public may be divided but George Ganswein `` Kamal al`Ganzouri say ``

:02:31.:02:34.

Dr Gordon Gancz says he will take the matter to court if pushed.

:02:35.:02:40.

Emergency abdominal surgery is unlikely to return to Banbury's

:02:41.:02:43.

Horton Hospital ` according to health managers in Oxfordshire.

:02:44.:02:46.

People from the town attended a meeting last night about the future

:02:47.:02:49.

of the hospital. Nearly 30 people a week are sent from the Horton to the

:02:50.:02:52.

John Radcliffe for abdominal assessment ` due to a lack of

:02:53.:02:56.

emergency treatment facilities. A 68`year`old woman's died in a crash

:02:57.:02:59.

in South Oxfordshire. Two cars were involved in the crash at Hadden Hill

:03:00.:03:03.

between Didcot and Wallingford on the A4130 during this morning's rush

:03:04.:03:06.

hour. A 20`year`old man suffered minor injuries. An inquest's heard

:03:07.:03:12.

how an Oxford University student who found dead in his student

:03:13.:03:15.

accomodation block had probably fallen down the stairs after a night

:03:16.:03:18.

out drinking. 21`year`old Conor Robinson died last October. Here's

:03:19.:03:24.

Jessica Cooper. Described as a popular and a promising student,

:03:25.:03:27.

conor popular and a promising student,

:03:28.:03:31.

or in his second year at Magdalen College, studying English. The

:03:32.:03:35.

inquest was told as a child he had suffered two brain tumours. On the

:03:36.:03:40.

8th of October, Connor had been for a meal with college friends to a you

:03:41.:03:44.

curry house where they could take their own alcohol. They were then

:03:45.:03:50.

off to a nightclub, but Connor left early as he was drunk. He was walked

:03:51.:03:55.

home by a college friends, who said he was not as bad as some of the

:03:56.:04:01.

others. She left Connor on the an ex`, less than an hour later he was

:04:02.:04:05.

found on the ground floor at the bottom of the stairs with a pool of

:04:06.:04:09.

blood around him. Connor's family were in court today. In a statement,

:04:10.:04:12.

his sister Grace said: Today the coroner recorded a verdict

:04:13.:04:27.

of accidental death, saying he died from a traumatic head injury.

:04:28.:04:31.

Although no`one witnessed what happened after Connor returned from

:04:32.:04:36.

his night out, the coroner said it was likely he fell from the stairs

:04:37.:04:39.

on the first floor. Magdalen College says that everyone

:04:40.:04:44.

is greatly saddened by his death. And a memorial service for Connor is

:04:45.:04:49.

to be held on Saturday before a tree in the college grounds is dedicated

:04:50.:04:57.

to him as a lasting tribute. A West Oxfordshire councillor, who

:04:58.:05:00.

now lives in Thailand, says he won't stand down until the next election

:05:01.:05:03.

in May. Steve Hayward represents Ducklington and Kirtlington ` even

:05:04.:05:06.

though he currently lives more than 80,000 miles away. He'd been

:05:07.:05:10.

claiming an yearly allowance of more than ?4,000 but says he'll only take

:05:11.:05:15.

ten percent of that from now on. A change in the law has been passed

:05:16.:05:19.

which should allow police to step in much more quickly to tackle

:05:20.:05:22.

suspected child sexual abuse. The reform comes in the wake of

:05:23.:05:25.

Operation Bullfinch ` which saw seven men jailed last year for

:05:26.:05:28.

grooming vulnerable young girls in Oxford. It was championed by the MP

:05:29.:05:31.

for Oxford West and Abingdon, Nicola Blackwood, who told me she hopes

:05:32.:05:35.

that children at risk will now be better protected. Well, the

:05:36.:05:41.

Government's new sexual risk orders and sexual harmful prevention orders

:05:42.:05:45.

will make a significant difference to the police on the ground. It will

:05:46.:05:51.

be a new tool. They can step in earlier to protect victims of child

:05:52.:05:57.

sexual exploitation, to disrupt grooming gangs and to make that

:05:58.:06:01.

earlier intervention which up until now, we have seen in too many cases

:06:02.:06:06.

across the country, they have been unable to do.

:06:07.:06:09.

How much difference would it have made in the child grooming case in

:06:10.:06:13.

Oxford? As we know with the case, the case was not brought until trial

:06:14.:06:17.

until after there had been eight years of abuse in Oxford. Talking to

:06:18.:06:23.

the police and in other areas, I know that they lacked the tools to

:06:24.:06:27.

be able to intervene. With this tool, as well as the knowledge that

:06:28.:06:32.

we have now about sexual abuse and different forms of disruption for

:06:33.:06:36.

grooming, they would have been able to act earlier.

:06:37.:06:38.

Thank you. Question Time is coming up after the

:06:39.:06:43.

weather forecast. That is all from everyone here tonight. Good night.

:06:44.:06:51.

A Met Office amber weather warning in force for the first part of the

:06:52.:06:57.

evening tonight. We could see up to an inch of rain from today. The rain

:06:58.:07:02.

will be heavy. Maybe some hail and thunder with the temperatures

:07:03.:07:08.

falling to five Celsius. For some it could abwet start to the day but the

:07:09.:07:12.

good news is, there will be sunshine finally in the afternoon. Maybe one

:07:13.:07:17.

or two showers but most places staying dry during the buck of day

:07:18.:07:21.

light hours with a high of seven Celsius. More rain is expected

:07:22.:07:26.

tomorrow night. That is to continue through the weekend with gales in

:07:27.:07:30.

places. Next up is the national weather forecast.

:07:31.:07:38.

Hello. I think the impact of this wet weather could be felt more

:07:39.:07:44.

widely as time goes on, even in areas which have been unscathed up

:07:45.:07:50.

until now. For now, the focus is on southern England. We have amber

:07:51.:07:53.

weather warnings right through until Saturday. We have another storm

:07:54.:07:59.

heading in. They are queueing up in the Atlantic. The storms will take

:08:00.:08:08.

place of this one which is giving a current spell of what weather this

:08:09.:08:12.

evening and overnight. Wet and windy, particularly through the

:08:13.:08:16.

English Channel. The rain falling snow across higher ground of

:08:17.:08:28.

northern England and Wales. Further north, rather quite a picture across

:08:29.:08:33.

Scotland and Northern Ireland. A touch of frost so icy patches are

:08:34.:08:37.

more of a hazard through the early part of tomorrow morning. Chilly

:08:38.:08:41.

across northern England but cloudy

:08:42.:08:42.
