Good evening. Health Boards and services across Wales could be put | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
into special measures under new plans to tackle serious failings in | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
the NHS. The changes follow a damning report, which blamed | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
mismanagement of the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board in North Wales, for a | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
catalogue of errors. The new regime will focus on detecting problems | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
earlier and preventing them from getting any worse. James Williams | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
reports. Betsi Cadwaladr was a Health Board | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
under pressure. Financial problems, failure to plan for big hospital | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
changes and an outbreak of the superbug of the C. Difficile. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Publications relating to the book costs Janice Bosley's husband his | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
wife. He had cancer, but after being admitted to hospital died eight days | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
later. His widow says the number of cases of C. Difficile across North | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Wales should have raised alarm bells. I don't understand what has | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
happened, why this has happened to so many people, just -- not just | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
myself. 96 cases reported. Systems were in place but Brian fell through | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
the cracks. New guidelines published today by the health minister aims to | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
fill them. One of the health bodies under scrutiny, as we imported | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
exclusively earlier this week, is the health watchdog. In a report | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
tomorrow the Assembly's health committee will say failing to | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
clearly define its role has undermined its authority. Today's | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
guidelines are all about telling the interested parties what roles they | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
should play in identifying and tackling problems in the NHS. The | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Welsh Government has worked closely with the health Inspectorate to work | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
how -- to work out how we can work in partnership, to share | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
information, to share intelligence and agree what action is necessary. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
So there are three levels of intervention the bodies can use in | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
order to nip potential problems in the bud. Enhanced monitoring, so | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
giving them a watching brief over any problems. Targeted intervention, | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
working on the ground to deal with the problems. And finally in | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
exceptional circumstances, special measures. That is sending in a team | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
to run a particular health service or body. The first time this power | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
has been introduced in the Welsh NHS. It has also been generally | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
welcomed by doctors' leaders but the British Medical Association says the | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
NHS needs to avoid serious problems in the first place, problems the | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
Conservatives say still exist. We have seen mortality rates and death | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
rates in hospitals which are higher than they should be. We have seen | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
worrying aspects of NHS performance as a result of the crippling NHS | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
cuts, which are being imposed by the Welsh Labour government, and we have | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
to get to grips with those issues. And it is whether these guidelines, | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
introduced in April, can stop these issues turning into big problems | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
that will concern patients. A murder investigation has started | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
tonight after the death of a 45-year- old man from Cardiff. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Officers were called to the Grangetown area just before midnight | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
and discovered the body of a man, partially submerged in the River | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Taff. A postmortem examination is continuing to find out the cause of | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
death. A North Wales Police officer has | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
been jailed for 18 months after being found guilty of two counts of | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
indecent assault on a 14-year-old girl in 2002. PC Gary Donnelly, who | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
joined the force in 2003 and is now suspended, denied the offences | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
during a re-trial after a previous jury failed to reach a verdict. | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
Donnelly will register as a sex offender for ten years. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
A teacher, jailed after turning his home into a cocaine laboratory, has | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
been given a lifetime ban by a disciplinary panel. 49-year-old | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Macphallen Kuwale from Cardiff was jailed for three years last year, | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
after being caught with around ?8,000 of the class A drug. He | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
worked at Coleg Cymunedol Y Dderwen in Bridgend while running the drugs | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
operation. Lung cancer rates for women in Wales | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
have risen dramatically over the last four decades - while cases | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
among men have fallen. The figures from Cancer Research UK show the | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
majority are linked to smoking. Since 1975, the incidence of male | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
lung cancer has dropped from 104 cases per 100,000 to 61. But in | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
women, the number of cases has more than doubled. Lung cancer is the | :04:41. | :04:50. | |
second most common cancer in the UK. Unfortunately it is the biggest | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
cancer killer and at the present time we don't have a reliable | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
screening test. The incidence of lung cancer is exactly mirrored | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
smoking habits in the UK after the last 40 years. Men over the years | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
have gradually given up smoking, but the incidence of smoking has | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
increased in women. Business rates are likely to be | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
devolved by the start of next year, with stamp duty and landfill tax to | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
follow in 2018. The UK Government has published the Wales Bill to | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
devolve financial powers to the National Assembly, including income | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
tax powers, subject to a referendum. Former Olympic cycling champion | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Nicole Cooke has called on the BBC to give women's sport the same | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
amount of coverage on TV as men's. It comes as millions of pounds of | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Lottery money is expected, aimed at getting more girls to take up sport. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Here's our sports news correspondent Gareth Lewis. | :05:41. | :05:50. | |
Nicole Cooke is a rare breed, one of only three Welsh women to win an | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Olympic gold medal and her passion for sport remains deep a year after | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
retirement. These days she has swapped the bikes for books and a | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
business degree at Cardiff University. In the United States, | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
the law requires University sport to be funded equally for men and women. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
She thinks the same idea could be applied to TV coverage here. You | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
could do the same, as the BBC is paid for and funded partly by the | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
public, then maybe the equality could be brought in. In a statement | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
the BBC said about 1000 hours of women's sport is broadcast every | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
year on TV, around 20% of its coverage. In her old school in | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
Bridgend, changes under way. This is the best place to hit, it makes your | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
eyes water and nosebleed, I can hit him under way. This is the best | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
place to hit, it makes your eyes water and nosebleed, I can fit into | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
the throat for the The senior girls have been put in charge of what they | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
do in PA, with a grant of ?800, and they are applying for charitable | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
status to raise more funds. They have refurbished the gym and | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
changing rooms but it is about more than just the money. It is all about | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
innovation and thinking differently, about trying things that perhaps | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
make us feel uncomfortable before. The old image of school PE is | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
starting to change. There is a big drop-off after year nine. What are | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
the main reasons? Low self-esteem and confidence and PE is an issue | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
with girls. Also they like to have a PE lesson with their friends. | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Trousers are the main thing, when you are made to wear shorts, some | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
people don't suit shorts so it is an issue. Will any of this work? TV | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
coverage might be a slow burner but this school is hopeful of positive | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
results in two years' time. Football - Wrexham have appointed | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
Kevin Wilkin as their new manager. The 46-year-old, who's enjoyed three | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
promotions in four years with Nuneaton Town, succeeds Andy | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
Morrell. He's signed a two-year deal at the Racecourse. | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
The Spring Equinox today, at the Racecourse. | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
The Spring Equinox but not very springlike. Derek is here with the | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
details. Yes, it will feel more like winter | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
over the next few days as temperatures dropping. It will feel | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
colder than recently, tomorrow and over the weekend. Wintry showers as | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
well and watch out for some frost if you are a gardener. Dry and clear | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
for many of us tonight. A few showers turning up in the west later | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
in the night under colder night than last night. A touch of frost in | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
parts of mid Wales and powers. Tomorrow, a case of dodging the | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
showers but I can promise you some sunshine as well. The driest and | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
brightest start, sunshine in Rhyl and Welshpool, for example. There | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
will be a few showers dotted around, the breeze picking up. Across the | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
rest of the UK tomorrow, icy patches from Northern Ireland and Scotland, | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
together with some wintry showers and significant falls of snow on the | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
Scottish mountains. Elsewhere a mixture of sunny spells and showers. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
The showers heavy in places with hail and thunder. Parts of southern | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
and eastern England will stay largely dry. It should be dry in | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
London and Edinburgh tomorrow. Showers the Cardiff and Belfast. | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Some heavy showers for us in Wales tomorrow afternoon. A chance of hail | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
and thunder. Wintry on higher ground as well, with a little slow. A gusty | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
south-westerly wind will make it feel chilly. Further wintry showers | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
on Sunday. A dusting of snow on some of the hills and mountains. Some dry | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
weather and sunshine as well. Fewer showers on Sunday. Chilly, | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
north-westerly breeze, in the way of dry weather. On Sunday night, watch | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
out for a widespread frost. Temperatures as low as minus three | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Celsius. A cold snap over the next few days. | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
