:00:00. > 3:59:59There is more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. We are back
:00:00. > :00:14.Good Evening. The parents of a with the latest
:00:15. > :00:17.Good Evening. The parents of a severely disabled man from Wiltshire
:00:18. > :00:21.say they're shocked after bding told he'll no longer be entitled to free
:00:22. > :00:24.physiotherapy. John Morrision has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and
:00:25. > :00:30.needs regular treatment to keep his muscles working. His parents have
:00:31. > :00:33.been offered training to carry out the physio themselves, but don't
:00:34. > :00:40.feel confident about doing ht properly. Steve Knibbs reports.
:00:41. > :00:43.John Morrison can't use his arms or legs so needs a great deal of help.
:00:44. > :00:48.Without specialist neuro`rehabilitation physiotherapy
:00:49. > :00:52.he'd deteriorate rapidly. Hd has the treatment twice a week and was paid
:00:53. > :00:56.for by the NHS when he was ` student. But now that John has moved
:00:57. > :01:00.back home to Wiltshire, it's costing his parents over ?500 a month. It
:01:01. > :01:07.feels like you're being means tested almost. In a way the nature of the
:01:08. > :01:14.letter was if you don't likd what we are offering, go pay for it
:01:15. > :01:17.yourself. The Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group won't p`y for
:01:18. > :01:20.the treatment long term, instead they've offered to train his parents
:01:21. > :01:25.to give him the physiothearpy at home. We are told by the doctors and
:01:26. > :01:29.his physiotherapist in Wales not to stand John on our own because if we
:01:30. > :01:38.hurt him, we could break his hip, we could snap his thigh bone, we could
:01:39. > :01:42.do all sorts of damage. The funding problem isn't specific to Whltshire.
:01:43. > :01:47.John is also facing a bill for thousands of pounds of treatment he
:01:48. > :01:50.received while living in Wales. It's an issue the health secretary said
:01:51. > :01:55.recently, needs to be looked at It is also a false economy not to
:01:56. > :01:59.invest in out of hospital c`re. If we do not help to keep people
:02:00. > :02:03.healthy and happy while thex are at home, they will end up in hospital
:02:04. > :02:06.which will cost us even mord money. The Clinical Commissioning Group
:02:07. > :02:08.reiterated today it is their policy to provide around 6`8 physiotherapy
:02:09. > :02:11.sessions in hospital before working with patients and their cardrs to
:02:12. > :02:16.provide the therapy themselves at home. However they did say, should a
:02:17. > :02:19.patients condition deterior`te, they would encourage them to get
:02:20. > :02:22.reassessed to make sure that the therapy, either that they'rd doing a
:02:23. > :02:30.home themselves or within the NHS, is still appropriate.
:02:31. > :02:34.Thousands of homes in part of Gloucestershire have been whthout
:02:35. > :02:38.water today. A pipe burst underneath a stream in Cinderford which caused
:02:39. > :02:41.a loss of supply to homes there Severn Trent said it brought it
:02:42. > :02:46.specialist machinery to pump water back into the main supply.
:02:47. > :02:48.Avon and Somerset Police ard continuing to trawl through CCTV
:02:49. > :02:53.footage after violence at the Bristol Rovers' game at the weekend.
:02:54. > :02:57.Six people were arrested after the match which saw Rovers relegated
:02:58. > :03:01.from the football league. Police horses were used after several
:03:02. > :03:06.hundred fans ran onto the phtch Officers say they expect to make
:03:07. > :03:09.more arrests in the coming days Thousands of people on the Somerset
:03:10. > :03:13.Levels have been enjoying a May festival that aims to banish the
:03:14. > :03:16.winter and welcome the spring. After the devastating floods, tod`y
:03:17. > :03:19.brought a much needed break from the recovery work, and a chance for
:03:20. > :03:26.people to celebrate the are`'s heritage. Here's Jules Hyam. The
:03:27. > :03:29.traditional May Festival Parade Recorded in the now customary way,
:03:30. > :03:36.but centred around the vill`ge maypole. Tradition is important here
:03:37. > :03:40.in Kingsbury Episcopi and they do it very well. This festival and these
:03:41. > :03:45.dances are to banish winter. Casting off the cloak of the colder months
:03:46. > :03:51.and welcoming the spring. It is about the change of seasons but also
:03:52. > :03:55.about the change in fortunes. Around here they would welcome a bht of
:03:56. > :03:58.that. All us know lots of pdople affected by the flooding but ,you
:03:59. > :04:02.know, people bounce back and I've seen loads of those people here
:04:03. > :04:06.today already so it is really great. Spring is here, and summer hs
:04:07. > :04:10.coming. The May Lady is a sxmbol of that but she's not the only one
:04:11. > :04:14.dressed for the occasion. Costumes and garlands, very much the order of
:04:15. > :04:17.the day. With so much local craft and culture being celebrated, it is
:04:18. > :04:19.understandable some of them didn't want there day interrupted by
:04:20. > :04:28.annoying news reporters. How much fun are you having today? Ul, Quite
:04:29. > :04:35.a lot of fun. I like the man who was cooking. I think one of the best
:04:36. > :04:38.things about Kingsbury May Fair is that you have this lovely vhllage
:04:39. > :04:42.that all of a sudden gets ddscended on by everyone in Somerset. It is
:04:43. > :04:45.such a wonderful celebration of spring coming and it feels like a
:04:46. > :04:53.real traditional West Country thing to do. Do you agree with yotr dad?
:04:54. > :04:56.Yes. It is the biggest Kingsbury May Festival yet, run entirely by
:04:57. > :05:03.volunteers and run by a comlunity who know a bit about pulling
:05:04. > :05:06.together. It's been another busy day on
:05:07. > :05:10.Bristol's harbour`side as the city's food festival enters it's sdcond
:05:11. > :05:13.week. Plenty of street food was on offer today and on tomorrow night's
