:00:05. > :00:09.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story - selling her mother's house
:00:09. > :00:16.to pay for care home fees. Tonight the hundreds of families who may be
:00:16. > :00:20.paying out unnecessarily. It is not so much the money. It is
:00:20. > :00:25.my mother's house and if it keeps her comfortable and that is what
:00:26. > :00:30.pack -- has to happen then that is it. But it is the principle of it.
:00:30. > :00:40.My father did not have a pension. They lived on what he brought home
:00:40. > :00:47.
:00:47. > :00:50.every month. Our other headlines tonight. The

:01:26. > :01:29.Good evening. Hundreds of families across Wales are being forced sell
:01:29. > :01:34.their homes to pay care home fees, according to a BBC Wales
:01:34. > :01:38.investigation. But a leading health care lawyer says many of those fees
:01:38. > :01:42.should have been paid by the NHS and it's now more difficult to
:01:42. > :01:45.qualify for funding in Wales than England. Graham Thomas reports.
:01:45. > :01:54.Gillian Webb, from Cardiff, is selling her parents' house to pay
:01:54. > :02:01.for the care of her 91-year-old mother Anne who has Alzheimer's.
:02:01. > :02:08.Dad worked jolly hard. He did not have a pension. They lived on what
:02:08. > :02:11.he brought home every month. That's all they've got and it has gone.
:02:11. > :02:14.The law states that if an elderly person's main requirement is to be
:02:14. > :02:17.nursed because they're ill, the state should pick up the bill. But
:02:17. > :02:24.solicitor Lisa Morgan, a specialist in care costs, believes in many
:02:24. > :02:28.cases the law is not being followed. If your primary need is a health
:02:28. > :02:32.need, you should be the responsibility of the NHS but it is
:02:32. > :02:36.a common misconception if someone needs to going to win nursing home,
:02:36. > :02:40.they have to pay the full cost of their care and that can include
:02:40. > :02:45.selling the family home. The first consideration should be whether the
:02:45. > :02:48.NHS should be paying for that individual's fees. Jane Chirko from
:02:48. > :02:50.Newport sold her family home to pay care fees for her father, Harry
:02:50. > :02:53.Denham, who suffered from Alzheimer's. But the charges had
:02:53. > :03:01.been wrongly applied and after his death the family launched a legal
:03:01. > :03:05.battle that eventually recouped �100,000. I look back on it and
:03:05. > :03:09.think, how did I ever let that happen? Why didn't I say to someone,
:03:09. > :03:14.that can't be right, we should be looking at it. I never did. I think
:03:14. > :03:18.it's because my dad was in a nursing home, my mum had just
:03:18. > :03:21.passed away, you do not think logically. BBC Wales has found that
:03:21. > :03:24.almost a thousand families in Wales have sold their homes in order to
:03:24. > :03:27.pay care fees, which commonly start at �2,000 per month. Figures
:03:27. > :03:30.obtained also show a 7% reduction in those receiving NHS continuing
:03:30. > :03:40.care funding in care homes since the assessment system was changed
:03:40. > :03:41.
:03:41. > :03:44.12 months ago. Cardiff and Vale Health Board said in a statement
:03:44. > :03:48.that it assessment process was in line with the Welsh government
:03:48. > :03:51.guidance. Dame June Clark, a former president of the Royal College of
:03:51. > :04:01.Nursing, says the system in Wales, what's known as the assessment tool,
:04:01. > :04:04.
:04:04. > :04:13.is unfair and compares unfavourably with that used in England. Why is
:04:13. > :04:17.the system so complicated? It is usually complicated. There are 11
:04:17. > :04:26.remains to be assessed. And then they need to score that in terms of
:04:26. > :04:32.levels. That is according to three dimensions of complexity, intensity
:04:32. > :04:35.and unpredictability. And that is horrendously complicated for the
:04:35. > :04:40.assessor added is even more complicated of course for the carer
:04:40. > :04:44.and the elderly person themselves, who often does not understand the
:04:44. > :04:48.detail and it is very subjective. If your family is in his
:04:48. > :04:52.predicament, who should be family turn to for independent advice?
:04:52. > :04:57.That seems to be the key, that you are getting the right advice from
:04:57. > :05:01.the right people. I think it is an getting independent advice is very
:05:01. > :05:07.difficult. You should be able to turn to your district nurse or your
:05:07. > :05:14.GP if you wanna Tom or the hospital nurses if you are in hospital. --
:05:14. > :05:19.if you're at home. You can go to organisations that have been saying
:05:19. > :05:23.for some time that we need much more by way of independent advocacy
:05:23. > :05:33.services to help old people but it is a difficult one because
:05:33. > :05:34.
:05:34. > :05:37.It seems that you get a different deal if your family live in England.
:05:37. > :05:42.When sea -- was the assessor has measured the various levels and
:05:42. > :05:47.filled in all the boxes, the things that matters is the cut-off point
:05:47. > :05:51.and it does seem to be that the cut-off point being used in Wales
:05:51. > :05:56.is higher, more stringent, and the cut-off point that is being used in
:05:56. > :06:01.England. This is such a sensitive time. The moment when your elderly
:06:01. > :06:11.relative is going to care, you really are not the most vulnerable
:06:11. > :06:13.time. Yes. Thank you very much. You can see more on that story in
:06:13. > :06:17.tonight's Week In Week Out programme, Selling Up For Mum And
:06:17. > :06:21.Dad on BBC1 Wales at 10:35pm. The BBC and S4C have finally struck
:06:21. > :06:25.an agreement over how S4C will be run in future. Like all good soaps
:06:25. > :06:29.the storyline's had its fair share of twists and turns. But as the
:06:29. > :06:32.main protagonists finally get together, is it a happy ending? All
:06:32. > :06:35.this follows the announcement about how much funding S4C will get from
:06:35. > :06:43.the BBC to make programmes. Our Welsh Affairs Editor, Vaughan
:06:43. > :06:48.Roderick, is with me now. Why has it been so difficult to get to this
:06:48. > :06:53.point, to reach this agreement? Basically, the broadcasters have
:06:53. > :06:56.been trying to square a circle. The BBC had been largely funding --
:06:56. > :07:01.will be largely funding S4C in the future and they needed to make sure
:07:01. > :07:05.that licence-fee payers money was being spent well. They needed to
:07:05. > :07:10.make sure that they had not been shenanigans as there had been in
:07:11. > :07:15.the past. S4C wanted to ensure they had continued editorial
:07:15. > :07:21.independence. They have basically come up with that -- a system where
:07:21. > :07:27.the S4C and authority will be appointed with input from the BBC
:07:27. > :07:31.and the was government. Objectives will be set up but then it will be
:07:31. > :07:38.up to S4C, to their management and authority, how they deliver on that.
:07:38. > :07:46.That is a pretty good deal for them. In day -- every day terms, there
:07:46. > :07:51.will not be any BBC suits in the building, if you like. We think
:07:51. > :07:55.this is a very good agreement which respects the principles which are
:07:55. > :08:00.important to both organisations, in particular for S4C the principle of
:08:00. > :08:04.establishing that S4C retained its operational and editorial
:08:04. > :08:09.independence, that has been safeguarded in the arrangements in
:08:09. > :08:13.the agreement. And also for the BBC, there is the very important line of
:08:13. > :08:17.accountability for the use of funds which come from the licence fee. I
:08:17. > :08:27.think we have managed between us to square quite a difficult circle.
:08:27. > :08:32.Wall of watch excites people in the television industry and politics --
:08:32. > :08:36.all of which. The agreement says that managers should meet regularly
:08:37. > :08:40.to discuss co-operating. I think that you may see a convergence of
:08:40. > :08:47.online services in the Welsh language, for instance. And there
:08:47. > :08:50.is a way for S4C to claw back a little bit of the huge cuts that
:08:50. > :08:54.they are facing. There is an agreement that if any savings are
:08:54. > :08:59.made, S4C keeps that money to invest in the programmes. In that
:08:59. > :09:02.sense, it may mean the diminishing of original, as content on the
:09:02. > :09:09.screen which was inevitable with the cuts as Fozzie was facing could
:09:09. > :09:12.be a little bit less. -- S4C. nurse who allowed schoolboys to
:09:12. > :09:16.drive the car she was given for work will be allowed to return to
:09:16. > :09:19.nursing but will have a caution on her record for one year. Victoria
:09:19. > :09:23.Horsley of Benllech on Anglesey was found guilty of misconduct by a
:09:23. > :09:25.nursing panel. She had also been accused of having sex with a 15-
:09:25. > :09:30.year-old boy, but that allegation was thrown out.
:09:30. > :09:33.Who owns your house? Perhaps you, a mortgage company or a landlord?
:09:33. > :09:37.When you ask that question in Cardiff Bay tonight, the answer is
:09:37. > :09:40.a little more complex. The National Assembly spends millions of pounds
:09:41. > :09:44.of taxpayers' money renting a red brick office block, but who is the
:09:44. > :09:47.secret landlord? The rather muddied answer involves an off shore tax
:09:47. > :09:51.haven. Our Political Correspondent, Tomos
:09:51. > :09:57.Livingstone, can tell us more. I'm outside Ty Hywel, the building
:09:57. > :10:00.where Assembly Members have had their offices since 1999. We've
:10:00. > :10:04.been trying to find out who owns the building, and how much it costs
:10:04. > :10:13.to rent. And the answer lies off the English coast, on an island
:10:13. > :10:20.known for being a tax haven. The main public home of the National
:10:20. > :10:24.Assembly. The Centre for democracy and devolution in Wales. But then
:10:24. > :10:28.you have Ty Hywel, the red-brick building where Assembly Members
:10:28. > :10:34.work and the First Minister has his office. We know who works in a
:10:34. > :10:37.house like this but what we are not so clear about his who owns it. We
:10:37. > :10:46.asked the Assembly commission, the body responsible for the day-to-day
:10:46. > :10:52.running of the -- body. But it is a body based on Douglas on the Isle
:10:52. > :10:55.of Man. The company's managing agents have not returned our calls.
:10:56. > :10:59.I am very concerned about it. The National Assembly for Wales has
:10:59. > :11:05.always claimed to be a beacon of transparency and debt -- yet this
:11:05. > :11:12.is very muddy. The people of Wales deserve to know who Lord's this
:11:12. > :11:17.building. We pay an awful lot of money in red. -- owns this building.
:11:17. > :11:23.We need to know who we are paying back money to. In 1998, the
:11:23. > :11:29.Secretary of State for Wales, Ron Davies, bought the land for the
:11:29. > :11:37.Senedd building for just �1. When Ty Hywel went on the market, the
:11:37. > :11:41.authorities balked at eight multi- million-pound price tag. It could
:11:42. > :11:51.be a pension fund, it could be a property company, a family trust.
:11:51. > :11:55.How much rent as the Assembly have to pay each year? -- Des. It has
:11:55. > :11:59.been �1.7 million recently. It is roughly the market rate for a
:11:59. > :12:06.Cardiff office. But from next year, it is going up for two -- to �2.3
:12:06. > :12:16.million. The Assembly commission say the deal is going up because
:12:16. > :12:17.
:12:17. > :12:20.the deal negotiated four years ago has come to an end.
:12:21. > :12:25.We've had a statement tonight on the Assembly commission. They say
:12:25. > :12:29.they are unable to comment on the ownership. Plenty of questions
:12:29. > :12:32.tonight as to whether this is a good deal for the taxpayer and
:12:32. > :12:41.whether it is in the spirit of the new politics that we were promised
:12:41. > :12:44.at the time of evolution. -- Much more to come before 7 o'clock.

:13:09. > :13:12.primary and secondary schools to merge to form one super school. The
:13:12. > :13:20.two schools are already working together in a pilot scheme with a
:13:20. > :13:24.final decision been taken in Is it a primary school? Is it a
:13:24. > :13:26.comprehensive? No, it's a super school. For more than a year now,
:13:26. > :13:29.pupils of Ffynnonbedr primary and Lampeter comprehensive schools have
:13:29. > :13:34.been sharing the same campus, the same sports facilities and the same
:13:34. > :13:39.headteacher. According to independent advisers the
:13:39. > :13:42.arrangement is working well. They say the pilot scheme shows there
:13:42. > :13:46.are benefits to pupils making the jump from primary to secondary
:13:46. > :13:48.education. It also said Ffynnonbedr pupils had already benefited from
:13:48. > :13:54.being able to use specialist facilities and equipment on the
:13:54. > :14:04.secondary site. Other benefits included better management and

:14:05. > :14:11.improved efficiency. To benefit pupils with sea is in the education
:14:11. > :14:17.transition stage from primary to secondary. Hopefully, through this
:14:17. > :14:20.new project, it will be smoother. This morning Ceredigion Council
:14:20. > :14:23.Cabinet decided to press ahead with a proposal to make the arrangement
:14:23. > :14:25.permanent and create Wales' first school for three to 19-year-olds.
:14:25. > :14:35.There are similar plans for Llandysul but they are more

:15:17. > :15:21.school and she has enjoyed it. means they have more resources to
:15:21. > :15:24.share and that can only be a good thing. The response to the
:15:24. > :15:27.experiment here in Lampeter has been positive but if there is any
:15:27. > :15:30.objection to the council's plans then the final decision will rest
:15:30. > :15:39.with the Welsh Government. A new school with a new name of course
:15:39. > :15:42.It was the most important feat of civil engineering in Wales. It took
:15:42. > :15:46.five years to build and was one of the largest road building projects
:15:46. > :15:50.ever seen in the UK. Conwy Tunnel was opened 20 years ago to ease
:15:50. > :15:58.traffic congestion in the town. The unique tunnels sit beneath the
:15:58. > :16:01.estuary and Matthew Richards is near the entrance tonight.
:16:01. > :16:05.It would have been easier to build a bridge over the estuary rather
:16:05. > :16:08.than a tunnel underneath it. But that was ruled out because it would
:16:08. > :16:14.have spoiled the view of the 12th Century castle, a World Heritage
:16:14. > :16:17.site, and Thomas Telford's bridge. So a massive feat of engineering
:16:17. > :16:27.got underway to relieve the pressure on the narrow streets

:16:29. > :16:39.This is Conwy BCT or before the Long jams and lengthy journeys made
:16:39. > :16:46.life tough for local residents and businesses. There was an abattoir a

:16:52. > :16:57.could be anything up to three hours. It was problematic for us when we
:16:57. > :17:00.were busy back at the shop. But we had to get on with it. So there was
:17:00. > :17:03.relief all round when construction began on the 1000 metre long
:17:03. > :17:06.tunnels in 1986. Built in several sections over five years, it was

:22:45. > :22:50.what is in front of him. I think maybe he thought it was a little
