:00:23. > :00:26.down by an out of hours service in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan
:00:27. > :00:29.that is not fit for purpose. A patient watchdog says, standards set
:00:30. > :00:33.for treating out of hours calls are not being met and in some instances
:00:34. > :00:40.patients have waited more than five hours. Cardiff and Vale University
:00:41. > :00:45.Health Board say, there's been a significant rise in demand and a
:00:46. > :00:57.review is underway. Nick Palit reports. Betty and her partner enjoy
:00:58. > :01:02.the Easter sunshine in their Cardiff garden. A week ago, David who has
:01:03. > :01:07.Alzheimer's became unwell. Betty feared he may have suffered a mini
:01:08. > :01:11.stroke and called the out of hours service and eventually they offer to
:01:12. > :01:17.send an ambulance. As it was a Saturday night, she was reluctant to
:01:18. > :01:25.take into A and wanted a doctor to call at the house. After many hours,
:01:26. > :01:30.she gave up. I was told the urgent cases had been overwhelming them. I
:01:31. > :01:40.thought maybe a stroke would be regarded as urgent. These had a
:01:41. > :01:47.doctor would be out. Nine o'clock and nobody turned up so I rang back
:01:48. > :01:54.again. I was distressed, I suppose. No matter where you live, the
:01:55. > :01:57.standards are the same. 90% of call should be assessed within 20 minutes
:01:58. > :02:02.and that has only been achieved once in Cardiff and the Vale health
:02:03. > :02:07.board. Some patients had to wait even longer with one having to wait
:02:08. > :02:11.for more than five hours. The patient watchdog claims the current
:02:12. > :02:22.system is not working and it is putting a strain on A as a result.
:02:23. > :02:29.Patients are waiting far too long. It is not all bad news. 75% of calls
:02:30. > :02:34.were answered within 60 seconds and 100% of life-threatening calls were
:02:35. > :02:37.dealt with in five minutes. Charlotte Jones is chair of the
:02:38. > :02:48.general practitioners committee in Wales and said the problem isn't
:02:49. > :02:52.just confined to Cardiff and Wales. The health board allocations have
:02:53. > :02:57.risen but in that time has only been a small uplift in the funding to the
:02:58. > :03:04.out of hours services. Last month there were over 11,000 out of hours
:03:05. > :03:10.calls. They say 86% were dealt with in 30 minutes and most of the urgent
:03:11. > :03:15.cases, 81%, had a home visit within the hour. That is of no comfort to
:03:16. > :03:19.Betty who is still fearful that if David is taken ill again, they will
:03:20. > :03:24.have no choice but to wait in an already busy casualties Department.
:03:25. > :03:27.Nick Palit reporting from Cardiff. And in Pembrokeshire, the care
:03:28. > :03:30.received by a well-known businessman has been criticised at an inquest in
:03:31. > :03:33.Milford. 82-year-old Malcolm Green died following routine cancer
:03:34. > :03:43.surgery in 2012. Abigail Neal listened to the evidence. Malcolm
:03:44. > :03:48.Green was a fit and active businessman who at 82 still works
:03:49. > :03:53.for the family run dealership in Haverfordwest. In 2012, he was
:03:54. > :03:57.diagnosed with colon cancer and admitted to hospital for surgery.
:03:58. > :04:02.Following the operation, he developed complications. Internal
:04:03. > :04:09.bleeding was not initially picked up on. He was treated but it was too
:04:10. > :04:15.late and he died a few days later. His sons have investigated the care
:04:16. > :04:24.their father received and discovered lengthy delays. On the 26 -- in
:04:25. > :04:29.June, he went for an operation to remove the Joomla! There were later
:04:30. > :04:35.early indications of a problem as his blood pressure had dropped.
:04:36. > :04:39.Internal bleeding was identified at 10am and although his condition was
:04:40. > :04:46.critical, is decadent -- a second operation did not place -- take
:04:47. > :04:49.place until three hours later. The surgeon was questioned about his
:04:50. > :04:56.movements that day and why he had not operated sooner. He said he saw
:04:57. > :05:02.Mr Green after his operation and had been told he was in pain but
:05:03. > :05:07.confirmed he hadn't examined him or was he informed about the drop in
:05:08. > :05:10.blood pressure. He went on to run a cancer clinic 's was phoned three
:05:11. > :05:16.times to be told that Mr Green was unwell and his condition was
:05:17. > :05:21.deteriorating. The health board have apologised to the family for what
:05:22. > :05:26.they term avoidable and unacceptable delays. They say an internal
:05:27. > :05:31.investigation has been carried out and actions taken to ensure these
:05:32. > :05:34.failings do not happen again. Two of Wales' best young sailors
:05:35. > :05:38.have been cleared of all wrongdoing, after a boat crash in Cardiff Bay in
:05:39. > :05:42.2010 which left a schoolgirl brain damaged. Eleni Morris and Nia Jones
:05:43. > :05:46.were 17 at the time and had represented Great Britain. They'd
:05:47. > :05:50.been cleared of failing to travel at a safe speed, failing to keep a
:05:51. > :05:54.proper look out, and of piloting the boats without lights.
:05:55. > :05:57.A man's been arrested in Newport on suspicion of firearms and drugs
:05:58. > :06:00.offences. The 34-year-old was taken into custody after police believed
:06:01. > :06:05.explosives were being stored in a house in the West of the city. Bomb
:06:06. > :06:10.disposal experts later said the object found was safe. The man is

:06:19. > :06:21.feel they're being unfairly targeted and subjected to heavy handed
:06:22. > :06:26.tactics by enforcement officers, looking for illegal workers.
:06:27. > :06:29.Llanelli MP, Nia Griffith says, the way raids are being carried out on
:06:30. > :06:36.the premises, can damage a business' reputation beyond repair. The Home
:06:37. > :06:38.Office says figures show its actions are successful and it makes no
:06:39. > :06:49.apology for enforcing immigration laws.
:06:50. > :06:52.The point is, it is the way the enforcement officers have been
:06:53. > :06:57.disrupting these restaurants, frightening customers at the busiest
:06:58. > :07:05.times and conducting interviews with staff in the front window. There are
:07:06. > :07:06.ways of doing things which bring courtesy and dignity to the
