Good evening. BBC South has learned that a health trust which looks

:00:08.:00:09.

after more than 2000 adults with learning disabilities in Oxfordshire

:00:10.:00:13.

Southern Health is not expected to continue running the servicds

:00:14.:00:18.

after a string of failings `nd the death of a patient in Oxford.

:00:19.:00:22.

Our Health Correspondent David Fenton has been investigating.

:00:23.:00:30.

Carolann has autism, but she is learning how to look

:00:31.:00:32.

To some people, this is a simple sort of everyday t`sk.

:00:33.:00:38.

But for other people, they lay not have had the opportunitx to

:00:39.:00:43.

Southern Health says this khnd of community care is the future

:00:44.:00:49.

But after just 18 months of its ?6 million project, the

:00:50.:00:53.

county council is looking for other businesses which could take over.

:00:54.:00:58.

I think that we've had 18 months of working incredibly hard to learn to

:00:59.:01:06.

respond and to develop the services, and as we start to see real

:01:07.:01:09.

improvements in the services moving forward, we have a period where we

:01:10.:01:12.

actually don't know what the future looks like.

:01:13.:01:19.

Many families have been unhappy with Southern Health.

:01:20.:01:22.

This woman's son was put in a residential unit in Gloucdster,

:01:23.:01:24.

Plan and look forward to evdry Saturday, but it's

:01:25.:01:30.

Because if Kevin hadn't been sent out of county in the first place,

:01:31.:01:40.

But the biggest failing and catalyst for change was the death of this

:01:41.:01:44.

young man, Conor Sparrowhawk, at an inpatient unit in Oxford.

:01:45.:01:47.

The concerns that have been flagged up by relatives are feeling that

:01:48.:01:51.

they have no voice in the way that the organis`tion is

:01:52.:01:54.

And I think there's a real concern about local

:01:55.:02:03.

For adults with learning disabilities like Carolann,

:02:04.:02:07.

the future is about more help in the home.

:02:08.:02:09.

Earlier I spoke to John Jackson the Director for Social

:02:10.:02:14.

and Community Services at Oxfordshire County Counchl.

:02:15.:02:17.

I asked him if the relationship between the county and Southern

:02:18.:02:20.

The relationship's been badly affected obviously

:02:21.:02:26.

by what's happened, not just Connor Sparrowhawk's tragic death, but also

:02:27.:02:29.

by a series of critical reports by the Care Quality Commisshon.

:02:30.:02:34.

And that's why we've decided to review the services that

:02:35.:02:37.

You want to get out of the agreement now?

:02:38.:02:42.

Well, we're not saying that, what we're saying is we want to

:02:43.:02:45.

And what's really important is we get the right services in place

:02:46.:02:48.

for people with learning disabilities and their families

:02:49.:02:52.

But clearly there have been some significant failings and thdy need

:02:53.:02:54.

Six men have appeared in cotrt in Banbury charged with a string of sex

:02:55.:03:01.

It's alleged the offences happened in

:03:02.:03:05.

The six men from Banbury all appeared in court here charged with

:03:06.:03:15.

a total of 22 child sex offdnces against young teenage girls.

:03:16.:03:20.

They were arrested earlier this week after police were given warrants

:03:21.:03:25.

for a number of addresses hdre in Banbury.

:03:26.:03:27.

More than 50 officers were involved in that operation.

:03:28.:03:30.

It's claimed the offences against five girls,

:03:31.:03:31.

aged between 13 and 15, took place between 2011 and this year.

:03:32.:03:36.

Today in court, the six defdndants who are all aged between 19

:03:37.:03:43.

and 21 are facing a number of charges including rape, sexual

:03:44.:03:48.

activity with a child and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

:03:49.:03:54.

They were named as Ahmed Hassan Sule, Said Saldh,

:03:55.:03:57.

Mohammed Saleh, Takudzwa Hova, Kagiso Manase and Alexandru Nae

:03:58.:04:01.

20 year old Ahmed Hassan Sule is accused of nine counts

:04:02.:04:07.

of sexual activity with a child Mohammed Saleh, who's 21,

:04:08.:04:12.

The court heard some of the men lived in Africa

:04:13.:04:17.

All six men have been remanded in custody and are due to appear

:04:18.:04:22.

at Oxford Crown Court on thd 4th of July.

:04:23.:04:28.

A jury's heard that the man accused of murdering

:04:29.:04:30.

Oxfordshire teenager Jayden Parkinson pushed his ex`girlfriend

:04:31.:04:33.

down the stairs when she was seven months pregnant with his chhld.

:04:34.:04:36.

Jayden Parkinson went missing after leaving a youth hostel

:04:37.:04:39.

She was found buried in someone else's grave beshde

:04:40.:04:44.

Ben Blakeley admits unlawfully killing Jayden in countryside

:04:45.:04:48.

Two people have been taken to hospital after an explosion

:04:49.:04:56.

Four houses were damaged whdn the blast shook homes in Turnberry Close

:04:57.:05:01.

A ?1.5 million cut to a fund for the homeless and vulner`ble

:05:02.:05:09.

in Oxfordshire won't mean any hostels have to close.

:05:10.:05:11.

The County Council has launched a consultation

:05:12.:05:14.

There'd be less support in some hostels and a 40%

:05:15.:05:19.

reduction in the money spent on domestic abuse services.

:05:20.:05:23.

We have to analyse the responses to the consultation.

:05:24.:05:26.

And there will be some people who will be unhappy,

:05:27.:05:29.

but there will be some that will see that we've tried to ensure that

:05:30.:05:32.

these savings are placed in such a way that people are not htrt.

:05:33.:05:38.

An Oxfordshire furniture design company has gone into adminhstration

:05:39.:05:41.

Corndell Furniture, in Witndy, says it's been facing financial

:05:42.:05:46.

The company, which is one of the UK's largest manufacturers,

:05:47.:05:51.

It provides goods for over 700 outlets.

:05:52.:05:58.

The Lord Mayor of Oxford has visited an area of the city with a level

:05:59.:06:02.

of food poverty so serious that it's been described as "alarming".

:06:03.:06:05.

The mayor handed out certifhcates to children in Rose Hill who'vd been

:06:06.:06:09.

involved in a special cooking and sport project.

:06:10.:06:14.

Its aim has been to improve the health of children locally.

:06:15.:06:16.

Rose Hill also has the highest percentage

:06:17.:06:19.

I've learned to make pancakds and salad, absolutely delichous

:06:20.:06:27.

We're learning to cook home`made sweet and sour sauce

:06:28.:06:30.

We've been learning how to cook pasta.

:06:31.:06:35.

Just because they're healthx food doesn't mean they're boring,

:06:36.:06:38.

:07:01.:07:04.

Those showers will become more frequent throughout the course

:07:05.:07:08.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning.

:07:09.:07:13.

There could be some localisdd flooding in places

:07:14.:07:16.
