:00:10. > :00:13.The NHS needs radical change to cope with growing demand

:00:14. > :00:24.That's the warning tonight to whoever wins the election.

:00:25. > :00:32.They're much more radical changes now needed if we are going to

:00:33. > :00:33.actually stem this demand, and it is about trying to manage that demand

:00:34. > :00:36.at work differently. Also tonight - the former

:00:37. > :00:38.Plaid Cymru leader Lord Dafydd Ellis Thomas upsets his own party

:00:39. > :00:45.by endorsing a Labour Candidate. The family of Private Cheryl James

:00:46. > :00:49.accept they may never know exactly what happened to her -

:00:50. > :00:51.despite two and a half months A convenience for passangers -

:00:52. > :00:55.or or a threat to Cardiff cabbies? The taxi booking app Uber launches

:00:56. > :01:13.in the capital. Welcome to Wrexham on day five

:01:14. > :01:17.of our tour of Wales. This is the largest town

:01:18. > :01:21.in North Wales, just a few miles The traditional steel and coal

:01:22. > :01:27.industries have long gone, and many jobs here now

:01:28. > :01:30.depend on manufacturing. People here have told me

:01:31. > :01:33.that they're concerned about improving the town centre,

:01:34. > :01:37.transport links and of course - Last year the health board here,

:01:38. > :01:47.Betsi Cadwladr, was put into "special measures" -

:01:48. > :01:49.over concerns about mental health , And tonight there's been a call

:01:50. > :01:56.for radical changes right across the NHS in Wales,

:01:57. > :01:58.but what should a modern Our health correspondent Owain

:01:59. > :02:05.Clarke has this special report. The politicians argue about it,

:02:06. > :02:10.we all depend on it. It's no surprise that the NHS

:02:11. > :02:14.is a top election issue but whichever way you look

:02:15. > :02:19.at it, a clear picture emerges, but whichever way you look at it,

:02:20. > :02:23.a clear picture emerges, that of And that has not gone

:02:24. > :02:26.unnoticed by those There aren't the funds,

:02:27. > :02:32.really, these days , to pay for it, so it's a question

:02:33. > :02:35.really of prioritising. I feel that the not doers and nurses

:02:36. > :02:40.are under great strain. In a way, the NHS is

:02:41. > :02:44.a victim of its own success.

:02:45. > :02:46.Since it was established in 1948, technology mean we are living

:02:47. > :02:50.longer, it also means the NHS has to There's much more radical change now

:02:51. > :02:54.needed, so it's about spreading that good practice

:02:55. > :02:58.and doing it on a much larger scale, and the danger is if we don't

:02:59. > :03:00.do that, we won't be able

:03:01. > :03:04.to have an NHS that sustainable and fit

:03:05. > :03:05.for She also says more

:03:06. > :03:09.resources needs to be moved from hospitals to community

:03:10. > :03:13.services, and more staff needs to be recruited to areas of

:03:14. > :03:16.shortages like large parts of north Wales,

:03:17. > :03:18.but crucially, she argues the public

:03:19. > :03:20.should be at the heart of the debate But that doesn't always

:03:21. > :03:28.happen, and you don't have to rewind the clock too far

:03:29. > :03:32.to find a classic example. Out of the blue, early last year,

:03:33. > :03:35.Betsi Cadwaladr Health board announced it would shut

:03:36. > :03:38.the doctor led maternity unit blaming a severe

:03:39. > :03:42.shortage of junior doctors. It led to an almighty row,

:03:43. > :03:45.and eventually the decision was reversed even though

:03:46. > :03:48.the recruitment problem But bosses say they will do better

:03:49. > :03:53.and listen more in future, but to what extent are

:03:54. > :03:55.the politicians listening? All the main parties in this

:03:56. > :03:58.election are promising to put millions

:03:59. > :04:01.of pounds extra into the NHS. Government seem to have this rather

:04:02. > :04:03.unfortunate habit of finding

:04:04. > :04:06.a bit more money down the back of the sofa

:04:07. > :04:07.when the Now, that may appear

:04:08. > :04:13.that it helps the health service. think it's doesn't if it means those

:04:14. > :04:15.difficult decisions are I would appeal to any prospective

:04:16. > :04:19.candidates that they don't promise the earth,

:04:20. > :04:21.because invariably a promise to produce one service

:04:22. > :04:23.within the NHS, given the current budgetary constraints,

:04:24. > :04:29.means that somebody else uses out. But despite all the difficulties,

:04:30. > :04:31.most people are very happy

:04:32. > :04:33.with the care they get. And the truth is we could all help

:04:34. > :04:36.the NHS out by looking But according to this

:04:37. > :04:40.leading children's doctor, If politicians become

:04:41. > :04:44.too preoccupied with dealing with the

:04:45. > :04:49.pressures of today, with dealing with the pressures

:04:50. > :04:52.of today, they might not spot We have the highest

:04:53. > :04:55.proportion of children with diabetes, in Wales,

:04:56. > :04:57.and we are spending millions on the management of diabetes

:04:58. > :04:59.in adults, and if we spent that money in childhood

:05:00. > :05:01.on prevention of obesity and development of diabetes, then we

:05:02. > :05:04.would save millions in the long run. Outlining what the NHS in Wales

:05:05. > :05:08.might look like in ten or 20 years' The politicians want your

:05:09. > :05:14.vote so they can be in Addressing the challenges

:05:15. > :05:20.facing the health service and changing today's picture

:05:21. > :05:25.could take a whole lot longer. Owain, the health service

:05:26. > :05:37.really is the dominant Yes, and perhaps in sharper focus

:05:38. > :05:40.here than in many other places, Jamie, because the troubles of

:05:41. > :05:53.etiquette one of the health board have so often recently been in the

:05:54. > :05:57.headlines. Lots of talk in the campaign and around the campaign

:05:58. > :06:02.today about tough choices and difficult decisions, the NFS

:06:03. > :06:05.confederation representing management and the BMA representing

:06:06. > :06:10.doctors pretty much saying that the NHS might not be able to cope in ten

:06:11. > :06:13.or 20 years' time unless big changes like shifting resources from

:06:14. > :06:19.hospitals to the community happen. Changes hard on the NHS, not like a

:06:20. > :06:29.factory that you can shut down and refit. The NHS is popular and people

:06:30. > :06:35.are protective of their services. Conservatives want to reopen minor

:06:36. > :06:38.injury units, plied want a diagnosis services, you did want better

:06:39. > :06:43.training for services. What isn't in that list is any indication of what

:06:44. > :06:47.the NHS might not be able to do or not be able to afford to do in ten

:06:48. > :06:49.or 20 years' time. That is maybe to be expected though in an election.

:06:50. > :06:53.Well, Plaid Cymru's former leader Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas is in hot

:06:54. > :06:56.water with his party this evening, by suggesting people vote

:06:57. > :06:59.for a labour candidate in the upcoming Police

:07:00. > :07:03.Our political editor Nick Servini joins me.

:07:04. > :07:18.Well, Lord Ellis Thomas, Jamie, has said that people should use one of

:07:19. > :07:22.their two votes to support the Labour candidate, David Taylor, now

:07:23. > :07:26.should remind people that the week after next as well as the Assembly

:07:27. > :07:28.elections can we way have elections for the police and crime commission,

:07:29. > :07:34.so people have two votes at first reference. In the second preference,

:07:35. > :07:37.if someone doesn't get more than 50% of the road than the second

:07:38. > :07:42.preference kicks in, so he said something that could benefit David

:07:43. > :07:50.Taylor and is not, crucially, the Plaid Cymru candidates. What have

:07:51. > :07:55.Plaid Cymru said about this this evening to mark well, it is an

:07:56. > :07:57.election in Wales, and they don't tend to happen without Plaid Cymru

:07:58. > :08:02.to having some difficulty with something. Nevertheless, I spoke to

:08:03. > :08:05.a senior figure in the party today who told me that even by his

:08:06. > :08:13.rebellious standards, this is below the belt, and the point is now with

:08:14. > :08:18.timing so close to the election to make this call to get people to vote

:08:19. > :08:21.tactically in these elections, to try to keep out Ukip is really not

:08:22. > :08:23.what they are after, but they are too busy to try and do anything

:08:24. > :08:25.about it now. Nick, thank you, and you can find

:08:26. > :08:28.a full list of all candidates in the Police and Crime Commissioner

:08:29. > :08:30.elections on May 5th More from Wrexham later,

:08:31. > :08:35.when we'll be looking at Labour's chances in this election,

:08:36. > :08:39.and hearing from one Wrexham man who's told us what he'd like to see

:08:40. > :08:43.from the next welsh government First, here's Jennifer Jones

:08:44. > :08:52.with the rest of the day's news. The family of Private Cheryl

:08:53. > :08:56.James from Llangollen who died more than 20 years ago say

:08:57. > :08:59.they accept they may never know A fresh inquest ordered

:09:00. > :09:03.into her death at the Deepcut base in Surrey after new information

:09:04. > :09:05.came to light. Our reporter Paul Heaney has been

:09:06. > :09:09.following it What do we know now that

:09:10. > :09:22.wasn't well known before? Well, over 100 witnesses heard over

:09:23. > :09:25.the past two and a half months, but still lots of conflicting evidence.

:09:26. > :09:30.In part because this happen such a long time ago. There has the heart

:09:31. > :09:35.of this, how Cheryl James came to be shot. Two ballistics experts say in

:09:36. > :09:40.their opinion it's likely she was shot at close range, it could have

:09:41. > :09:45.been self-inflicted, it may have been suicide, but in contrast to

:09:46. > :09:50.that another experts, a pathologist, commissioned by private James's

:09:51. > :09:54.family says it's his view that she was shot from distance. Why does

:09:55. > :09:57.that matter? Well, if she was shot from distance then it raises the

:09:58. > :10:00.possibility at least that somebody else had a part to play in her

:10:01. > :10:04.death. It may not have been suicide, and this the army thought all those

:10:05. > :10:11.years ago. And what have we learned about what life was like those years

:10:12. > :10:15.ago in deep cut barracks? Many soldiers painted a picture of

:10:16. > :10:18.bullying and abuse in the camp in 1995. Some allegations that more

:10:19. > :10:23.senior soldiers saw female recruits as sexual challenges. They denied

:10:24. > :10:28.that was the case when this picture the corner, but we've already had an

:10:29. > :10:31.apology for the Army for the kind of environment that private Cheryl

:10:32. > :10:38.James and other young soldiers found themselves in an Surrey 20 years ago

:10:39. > :10:46.than stop all, what happens next? Every single day of evidence thus

:10:47. > :10:50.far has been seen by her father, he wants no stone left unturned this

:10:51. > :10:52.time. The coroner will deliver his verdict on the 18th of May.

:10:53. > :10:55.A ?120 million holiday village and housing development on Anglesey

:10:56. > :10:58.The Land and Lakes project near Holyhead could create around

:10:59. > :11:01.600 jobs, and was agreed after a ?20 million deal

:11:02. > :11:08.was made to mitigate its potential impact on the area.

:11:09. > :11:10.The taxi booking app, Uber, has launched in Cardiff.

:11:11. > :11:13.The system, which has been successful in 16 other UK cities,

:11:14. > :11:17.allows users to book private hire cars through their smartphones.

:11:18. > :11:21.Some rival taxi-firms are worried they'll be

:11:22. > :11:23.pushed out of the market, while others say they

:11:24. > :11:30.The Uber taxi app has been a runaway global success,

:11:31. > :11:32.but it sparked anger among established taxi organisations

:11:33. > :11:37.In London, cabbies protested and in Paris things got

:11:38. > :11:42.Today, it's launched in Cardiff, so how does it work?

:11:43. > :11:48.You simply go to the Uber app, you press the button, and it

:11:49. > :11:52.tells you there will be one along very shortly.

:11:53. > :11:55.Uber already operates in 57 countries

:11:56. > :12:00.The company claimed their success is because they are cheaper

:12:01. > :12:02.and more convenient than their rivals.

:12:03. > :12:04.You can see a picture of the driver

:12:05. > :12:07.that is coming to pick you up with their name, the make and model

:12:08. > :12:10.of their car and the registration of a car, say can be absolutely certain

:12:11. > :12:13.that the car that turned up is the one that you've booked

:12:14. > :12:18.Martin Carter has been a cabbie for 17 years and

:12:19. > :12:21.is Cardiff's first registered Uber operator.

:12:22. > :12:23.He believes the system has benefits for drivers to.

:12:24. > :12:26.The fare is safe, there's no chance of a runner,

:12:27. > :12:27.because we have credit card details.

:12:28. > :12:33.If you travel along, you can monitor your journey with your

:12:34. > :12:36.smartphone and when you get to your destination there is no cash to pay.

:12:37. > :12:40.You simply pay your fare with your online bank account.

:12:41. > :12:43.But the competition isn't standing still.

:12:44. > :12:46.Dragon is Wales's largest private hire firm.

:12:47. > :12:48.They've launched their own app and relish

:12:49. > :12:56.Already, we are heading towards 1 million

:12:57. > :12:58.passengers who are booking by app, and that's after five months.

:12:59. > :13:01.More and more people are using applications as I know

:13:02. > :13:03.from my own children, they seem to live off

:13:04. > :13:06.them, so on that basis we had to make sure that we were developing

:13:07. > :13:10.That doesn't mean, of course, that that's the end of the

:13:11. > :13:12.Back at Uber, they're confident Cardiff

:13:13. > :13:16.If it is, they are keen to expand their service to

:13:17. > :13:22.Cheers, drive. Thank you very much, sir!

:13:23. > :13:25.Let's go back now to Jamie in Wrexham.

:13:26. > :13:34.Here and neighbouring constituencies have long had

:13:35. > :13:36.Labour Assembly members, but everything's to play

:13:37. > :13:42.The Conservatives won Clwyd South in last year's general election -

:13:43. > :13:45.and Ukip can't be ignored in this part of the world either.

:13:46. > :13:48.They enjoyed increased support last May.

:13:49. > :13:51.So is a changing political landscape in this part of Wales

:13:52. > :14:01.Where Labour wants for votes on May the 5th, two

:14:02. > :14:06.for the Assembly one for the Police Commissioner,

:14:07. > :14:09.and another for a town council by-election.

:14:10. > :14:16.All we can say is to allay their fears and say

:14:17. > :14:18.that the NHS is safe in Labour's hands, the Welsh NHS.

:14:19. > :14:26.Along the north Wales coast in February last year,

:14:27. > :14:29.protests in Rhyl against changes to maternity care at the

:14:30. > :14:38.The plan was later scrapped, but does that

:14:39. > :14:40.Karen was pregnant with Jackson when she

:14:41. > :14:47.Yeah, I always thought that Labour were there to help and

:14:48. > :14:50.support our families like my own, but they don't seem to be.

:14:51. > :14:55.former Welsh Labour leader Rhodri Morgan used to say

:14:56. > :14:58.that Labour needed to win west of here.

:14:59. > :15:06.And now, the Conservatives in particular

:15:07. > :15:15.are eyeing up Labour-held territory to the east.

:15:16. > :15:18.So, how would Rhodri Morgan conduct this campaign?

:15:19. > :15:20.The key thing is concentration on the

:15:21. > :15:25.marginal seats, and in those marginal seats, it's putting

:15:26. > :15:29.pressure on people who have got perhaps a primary loyalty to the Lib

:15:30. > :15:33.Dems, to Plaid, to Greens, or Ukip or whatever to say look,

:15:34. > :15:37.in this constituency or that constituency,

:15:38. > :15:40.here, the key battle, constituency, your first vote,

:15:41. > :15:45.choose between Conservatives and Labour.

:15:46. > :15:47.The pundits seem north-east Wales as somewhere that has the potential

:15:48. > :15:52.to influence the outcome of this election.

:15:53. > :15:54.The emphasis is on potential, because really, in the

:15:55. > :15:59.last election, these weren't marginals.

:16:00. > :16:01.Seats, like Wrexham, Delyn, even Clwyd South, really,

:16:02. > :16:03.and then of course Vale of Clwyd which was won

:16:04. > :16:06.very narrowly by Conservatives with a really impressive campaign and

:16:07. > :16:08.a strong candidate in last year's election.

:16:09. > :16:12.It's an uphill struggle, Labour leads the opinion polls, but

:16:13. > :16:14.it's down on where it was before the last Assembly

:16:15. > :16:20.One Labour Party campaigner with plenty of experience of

:16:21. > :16:24.knocking on doors around here told me that six months ago he was

:16:25. > :16:28.pessimistic about the party's prospects in some north Wales seats,

:16:29. > :16:32.but since then the outlook has improved.

:16:33. > :16:34.Throughout this campaign, Carwyn Jones has tried to show

:16:35. > :16:40.solidarity with steelworkers whose industry is reeling from a crisis,

:16:41. > :16:45.but the real battle for Labour isn't in its former industrial heartlands,

:16:46. > :16:49.it's the marginal seats here in the north and in the south,

:16:50. > :16:54.where this battle will be won or lost.

:16:55. > :16:57.Daniel Davies with the first of a series of reports looking

:16:58. > :17:01.at the election prospects of the main parties.

:17:02. > :17:03.The main party leaders have all outlined what they'd do

:17:04. > :17:06.if they get elected - but what would you like from

:17:07. > :17:13.You've been sending us your ideas as part of My Manifesto 2016.

:17:14. > :17:17.Lucy's been to see Ken Mack from Wrexham who got in touch to say

:17:18. > :17:26.what he'd do if he were First Minister.

:17:27. > :17:32.You've been e-mailing, tweeting, and writing to us in droves. Telling us

:17:33. > :17:38.what you would do if you were in charge of Wales. I've come to see

:17:39. > :17:41.Ken Mack. He turned us that nothing is more important to him than making

:17:42. > :17:47.sure the most vulnerable people in society are safe. If I were the

:17:48. > :17:52.First Minister, I would enact a holistic bill of Rights that would

:17:53. > :17:57.protect elderly, disabled and vulnerable people in their own

:17:58. > :18:01.homes, in hospitals, and in care homes. Ken has been campaigning for

:18:02. > :18:05.the rights of older people sent his mother-in-law who has dementia went

:18:06. > :18:10.into a care home. At 75 he is also concerned about the future of two of

:18:11. > :18:14.his three sons, who have intellectual disabilities. The

:18:15. > :18:19.biggest worry for me is what is going to happen to the likes of my

:18:20. > :18:23.sons when they are no longer around, and I'm not sure. Elderly and

:18:24. > :18:27.disabled and vulnerable people, they need reassuring, in my book. They

:18:28. > :18:32.really needed now, and that will only come with adequate legal

:18:33. > :18:36.protection. All of us may need to go into care at some point in our

:18:37. > :18:41.lives. Have you feel about that? I'd be very apprehensive. I'd be very,

:18:42. > :18:45.very nervous indeed. We've got to reassure these people, and I can

:18:46. > :18:49.only be by proper adequate legislation. Well, can will be

:18:50. > :18:53.interested to know that the older people' Commissioner 's also wants

:18:54. > :19:00.legislation to protect the rights of older people. It has cross-party

:19:01. > :19:03.support, and a group of experts is now looking into how it could work

:19:04. > :19:08.in practice, and they will be sharing their findings with the next

:19:09. > :19:12.Welsh government. Carers and the only issues that affect us as we

:19:13. > :19:17.age. I've joined this gentle yoga class to see what matters to the

:19:18. > :19:21.over 65 is here. This leisure Centre stop getting funding from the

:19:22. > :19:24.council 's three weeks ago, and now relies on donations and the work of

:19:25. > :19:30.volunteers. It's mainly used by retired people. If I was First

:19:31. > :19:36.Minister, I would ensure funding for local swimming pools, libraries, and

:20:10. > :20:13.the election campaign feels on the doorstep? Get a macro to things I

:20:14. > :20:16.would pick up on Jamie. There is clearly some worry that it is going

:20:17. > :20:19.to be a low turnout. This is felt right across the parties. The

:20:20. > :20:23.dominance of the European referendum, the question is never

:22:15. > :22:17.as a great surprise. Recent results may also have
