:00:42. > :00:44.She was immobile after suffering from three strokes and she was
:00:45. > :00:49.severely diabetic but she was told that her health needs were not great
:00:50. > :00:54.enough for the NHS to pay for her fees so she was forced to
:00:55. > :00:56.sell her house to pay for the care. Her brother-in-law battled to
:00:57. > :01:00.get that decision overturned but only after three appeals
:01:01. > :01:03.and two upheld complaints to the Public Services Ombudsman.
:01:04. > :01:06.A process that he describes as traumatic.
:01:07. > :01:12.I asked them on one occasion, how ill does one have to be to
:01:13. > :01:28.qualify for continuing healthcare? They shrugged their shoulders.
:01:29. > :01:30.It's annoying. These people cannot look
:01:31. > :01:33.after themselves anymore but they worked 40, 50 years.
:01:34. > :01:35.They paid their taxes and their National Insurance contributions
:01:36. > :01:38.and were never a burden to society and when it came to their case,
:01:39. > :01:43.for them to be looked after, they had to pay for themselves.
:01:44. > :01:46.If, like Mrs Puc, someone is receiving care
:01:47. > :01:49.for a health need, either in a nursing home or in their own
:01:50. > :01:53.home - the NHS should pay the fees. But many are unaware of the funding
:01:54. > :01:55.or are wrongly denied the money when they are assessed, potentially
:01:56. > :01:58.leading to a retrospective appeal. And now, thousands of people are
:01:59. > :02:01.at risk of missing the deadline to reclaim fees as the Welsh Government
:02:02. > :02:05.says that claims must be made at the end of this month for care received
:02:06. > :02:06.between April 2003 and July 2013. The government was expecting 3,000
:02:07. > :02:11.applicants but so far only 29 have come forward
:02:12. > :02:13.with only two weeks left to apply. It's crucial that people know
:02:14. > :02:16.that the deadline is looming. They need to have all
:02:17. > :02:19.the right information to know whether this information applies to
:02:20. > :02:21.them and whether they will be due money back from the NHS.
:02:22. > :02:24.Unfortunately, this deadline hasn't been publicised
:02:25. > :02:32.as widely as we would like to see it and it's also been
:02:33. > :02:34.announced at quite short notice. The Welsh Government
:02:35. > :02:37.strongly rejects the claims. As part of a publicity campaign,
:02:38. > :02:40.it's given posters and leaflets to GPs, hospitals and Age Cymru.
:02:41. > :02:46.It's also put the information online.
:02:47. > :02:50.It is quite clear the publicity campaign hasn't worked
:02:51. > :02:52.and that is why we need to see an extension of the deadline by
:02:53. > :03:00.at least three months, so that the families have the
:03:01. > :03:02.opportunity to make their claims. But it's too late for people like
:03:03. > :03:04.Mr Roberts and Mrs Puc whose home and belongings have
:03:05. > :03:09.already been sold to pay for care. A man found guilty of shooting

:04:13. > :04:14.a parent's worst nightmare. Thankfully,
:04:15. > :04:16.this time it all ended well. A nine-year-old school girl playing
:04:17. > :04:20.hide and seek got wedged between giant rocks as the tide was coming
:04:21. > :04:24.in at Aberaeron near Aberystwyth. With the lifeboat crew struggling to
:04:25. > :04:27.find a way to free her, the youngest team member, just 17,
:04:28. > :04:30.had to squeeze himself between the rocks and submerge
:04:31. > :04:45.himself in water to free her. This dramatic footage shows the
:04:46. > :04:50.urgency of the rescue for the RNLI. A nine-year-old girl, Eira,
:04:51. > :05:00.got stuck. She slipped while playing hide
:05:01. > :05:08.and seek. Tom, can you fit down there?
:05:09. > :05:12.Take the stuff off. Take your life jacket off...
:05:13. > :05:15.The only way to free her was to send the youngest crew member
:05:16. > :05:20.in to cut off her Wellington boot. 17-year-old Thom Evans was
:05:21. > :05:23.on his first call-out. If you don't think you can do it,
:05:24. > :05:29.don't do it. Slide in and cut off her Wellington
:05:30. > :05:33.boot. It was
:05:34. > :05:46.a tough situation to go through. Tough for your first call-out.
:05:47. > :05:49.What was going through your mind? The first thing that went
:05:50. > :05:53.through my mind is, this is quite a serious scenario for
:05:54. > :05:56.her to be in and I have to do this. The tide is coming in thick.
:05:57. > :05:59.We decided to try and get in and out as fast
:06:00. > :06:02.as we could with her free and safe. Joe Perry welly as much as you can.
:06:03. > :06:05.The urgency of the call-out can be seen from this footage.
:06:06. > :06:10.Within an hour, the girl would have been underwater.
:06:11. > :06:13.I will get down the back. The front is the problem.
:06:14. > :06:20.With some quick thinking, Eira was freed.
:06:21. > :06:26.The nine-year-old helped make this a successful rescue by staying calm.
:06:27. > :06:34.Well done, Tom. Well done.
:06:35. > :06:37.This dramatic rescue made sure that an innocent game of hide and Seek
:06:38. > :06:44.didn't end in tragedy. A charity, which helps young people

:07:52. > :07:56.Glamorgan made 192 for 4 before More sunshine today, but I think
:07:57. > :08:20.there's a change on the horizon. Tonight, clear spells, some cloud,
:08:21. > :08:26.coastal mist and hill fog forming. Otherwise,
:08:27. > :08:29.dry and mild at 10-15 Celsius. We can see from the pressure chart
:08:30. > :08:31.that it goes downhill tomorrow. These fronts push in
:08:32. > :08:35.from the Atlantic, bringing a more unsettled influence to our weather.
:08:36. > :08:38.It should be fine at first, further east, with sunny spells
:08:39. > :08:42.before thicker cloud and mainly patchy rain push in from the west.
:08:43. > :08:47.Tthat rain already across Northern Ireland, the west
:08:48. > :08:50.of England and most of Scotland. Fairly light but
:08:51. > :08:53.although it's drier further east, the air's humid and unstable which
:08:54. > :08:55.could trigger a thunder showers. But warmer where it?s
:08:56. > :08:59.sunnier longest. 24-26 Celsius for the south
:09:00. > :09:01.and east of England. By late afternoon,
:09:02. > :09:04.that rain spreading across Wales. Not huge amounts.
:09:05. > :09:08.The potential for heavier bursts on high ground with winds picking
:09:09. > :09:11.up too. Not as warm further west.
:09:12. > :09:13.17 Celsius in Pembrokeshire. A more humid 21 Celsius in Wrexham
:09:14. > :09:16.and Flintshire. That front continues to moves
:09:17. > :09:20.eastwards Saturday night into Sunday, so the rain easing overnight
:09:21. > :09:23.but remaining cloudy and very mild. Any early showers will clear
:09:24. > :09:28.on Sunday, turning into a brighter but breezier day.
:09:29. > :09:32.More in the way of sunshine by the afternoon and still fairly
:09:33. > :09:36.warm but a fresher feel as we lose that humidity from the Continent.
:09:37. > :09:38.So the weekend starts humid, some rain tomorrow,
:09:39. > :09:41.clearing by Sunday, with a slightly fresher but more changeable regime
:09:42. > :09:49.for the start of next week. We'll be back with our next update
:09:50. > :09:54.at 6.50pm tomorrow evening. From all of us here,
:09:55. > :10:00.have a good weekend.
