The family of 73-year-old Sonia Powell, who died | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
in the back of an ambulance outside a Swansea hospital, say they've been | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Today the Health Minster admitted the Welsh NHS is under pressure. | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
These scenes are more common in mid winter than in mid-September | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
This was Morrison Hospital yesterday afternoon, with ambulances queueing | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
outside A in the back of one ambulance yesterday | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
afternoon, Sonia Powell, mother of five, grandmother of 14 and | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
She'd been transferred from nearby Neath Port Talbot | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
Hospital after a heart attack that no bed could be found for her. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
The doctor was in there and he was facing my auntie | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
and my auntie then said to him, "She's gone, she's died." | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
And they turned then and then they checked and said, | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
It's the worst feeling ever because she | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
Nobody deserves to die outside hospital. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Both Abertawe Bro Morgannwg health board and | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
the ambulance service launched an investigation and the health board | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
insists Mrs Powell was assessed by a doctor in the ambulance three | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
They said a doctor also stayed with her until | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
The family said that wasn't the case. | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
Nobody came to see my mum till four minutes after she passed away. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Last winter, the senior A doctor at Morriston spoke of having to | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
treat patients in the hospital car park and yesterday, the BMA in Wales | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
warned that the whole of the Welsh NHS could soon be in meltdown. | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
Our problem is that there is a danger in not listening to front | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
All the reports have raised concerns about patient safety | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
and highlighted not listening to doctors, not listening to nurses | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
The BMA joins a growing list of organisations and individuals | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
calling for an independent enquiry into the state of the Welsh NHS. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
The Welsh Government maintains that type of investigation isn't needed | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
because it argues it has enough safeguards when things go wrong | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
but the Health Minister does admit, there's a huge amount of strain | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
The NHS in Wales is a system under pressure. | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
The age of austerity is absolutely real. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
In it, demand goes up or ability to meet | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
the dmeand through matching that demand with resources compromised | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
Nevertheless, the big picture story is | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
Before Mrs Powell died, this family was already grieving. | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
Her sister died of cancer some hours earlier. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Now they say they are devastated again and in this case, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Things are being cut back in the hospitals all the time. | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
And the ambulance drivers that were with my gran that day, they couldn't | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
The impact plain to see of an emergency care system, yesterday | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
The votes are being counted and tomorrow we will know if Scotland | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
The outcome of the referendum is being closely watched here in Wales. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Our political correspondent Daniel Davies is at the Senedd | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
The polls closed about half an hour ago but it will be near a breakfast | :04:03. | :04:16. | |
time on Friday before we know the result and 412 that's results mean | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
in Wales, for the politics it's conducted in this building, that's | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
the key question for Welsh politicians who are watching and | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
waiting to hear what Scotland decide. The first minister says the | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
old union is dead. The Welsh Secretary says there is an appetite | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
for change and the nature of the debate in Scotland as a certainly | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
shaped the debate here in Wales. More tax-raising powers potentially, | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
some are already being devolved. There are further proposals on the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
table to give the assembly new powers over areas like policing. All | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
the political parties are trying to decide to what extent and when that | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
they'll devolved those powers and the influence this decision in | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Scotland will have on those decisions in Wales. We are all eager | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
to find out. We'll be contributing to the BBC's results service | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
overnight but like everyone in Britain, it's out of our hands. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |

Six women have been convicted of operating a pyramid scheme | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
in which thousands of investors in South Wales and south | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
Investigators say more than ?20 million was invested. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Run mainly from people's homes at meetings like this, the scheme | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
But it cost those same friends and family thousands. | :05:56. | :06:05. | |
The lady was like asking all these questions to get your money back but | :06:06. | :06:18. | |
I just gave this ?3000 in a little brown envelope and that went. | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Starting with one person at the top, they bring in two friends, | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
they recruit two friends, and they in turn recruit two friends. | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Now the eight at the bottom each paid ?3,000 to the one at the top. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
That person gets more than ?20,000 but if the people | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
at the top are to get the money, you need millions of new members or | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
Members were told it was safe and legal. | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
It became the first pyramid scheme prosecution and a new consumer laws. | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Today, the last of six women from the Bristol area were convicted for | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
For so many, the lure of money for nothing seemed like a golden | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
opportunity, but thousands across Caldicot, Chepstow, Caerphilly | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Conwy Council has voted to discuss a voluntary merger with Denbighshire. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
The Welsh Government wants to reduce the number of local authorities here | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
from 22 to around 12 and is urging voluntary agreements | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
But Wrexham Council says it is not keen on joining up with Flintshire. | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
A difference in philosophy - that was the reason given for | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
Cardiff City parting company with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer today. | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
He resigned from the job, with the club 17th in the Championship. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Tonight, former Cardiff City striker Craig Bellamy has ruled him | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
There's one thing you can say about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. | :07:43. | :07:54. | |
The results in the performances show that things went well under his | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
leadership but it's been a difficult time for him and the Premier league | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
underfoot at the time he was the wrong appointment. Time for the | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
weather now. I know some of you wouldn't mind a drop of rain for the | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
garden. A few have recent storms and showers are expected in the next 24 | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
hours but very hit and miss. Tonight, showers will spread | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
northwards across the country and some of them could be heavy with | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
rumbles of thunder, some low cloud and mist and another warm, met the | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
night. Tomorrow morning, very hit and miss. Some places will start | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
strike with showers around, heavy and tenderly in places, brighter and | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
part of the West. Across the rest of the UK, scattered, thundery showers | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
moving northwards. Elsewhere, a grey, misty start, the best of the | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
sunshine in the south and south-west with rain in the North of Scotland. | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
Temperatures, 18 Celsius in Glasgow, 21 in London. Still a few showers | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
tomorrow afternoon with the rumble of thunder but a lot of places will | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
miss them and stay dry. Some hazy sunshine in parts of the south and | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
West and once again, temperatures above average for this time of year, | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
feeling humid. Tomorrow night, further scattered showers and low | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
cloud and Mr swell, some health park and another most night. Saturday, | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
further showers, heavy and tenderly in the South during the afternoon, | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
however, the north, west and mid Wales should become dry and | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
brighter. Sunday, high pressure back in charge, so Sunday, the best day | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
of the weekend with sunny spells and cool and fresh with lower humidity. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
I wish you a good night. | :09:52. | :10:01. |
