:04:56. > :04:56.over Welsh Government grants in recent months.
:04:57. > :05:10.There have been some stories. Last week we did a story on a conflict of
:05:11. > :05:17.interests in Carmarthenshire. The fact that there have been a number
:05:18. > :05:22.of stories like this implies that the public spending watchdog should
:05:23. > :05:27.take a look into the entire system. We've had critical stories about
:05:28. > :05:32.grants to companies over the years, usually the accusation is that the
:05:33. > :05:37.public body, the Welsh government in this case, took on too much risk.
:05:38. > :05:40.Different dynamics with this one, because we have a very successful
:05:41. > :05:45.businessman with a proven track record. That has played in two
:05:46. > :05:50.different claims and counterclaims with this story. The broader and
:05:51. > :05:55.final point on any of the stories that we cover in relation to grants,
:05:56. > :05:58.inevitably gets tied up in the debate of whether it's better to
:05:59. > :06:04.support companies through grants or loans. In Wales we have yo-yoed
:06:05. > :06:09.between the two. The argument is grants are more competitive against
:06:10. > :06:13.other parts of the country, some say loans are better to develop
:06:14. > :06:15.home-grown talent. That debate, I suspect, is going to continue.
:06:16. > :06:19.Wales is "leading the way" in efforts to increase the number
:06:20. > :06:22.of lives being saved by organ transplants, after a new law came
:06:23. > :06:25.That's according to the Chief Medical Officer for Wales.
:06:26. > :06:28.It comes as new annual NHS figures show that almost a quarter more
:06:29. > :06:31.patients here have benefited from organ transplants in the year
:06:32. > :06:42.Our health correspondent Owain Clarke has the details.
:06:43. > :06:49.Transplanting organs from one person to another, one of the most
:06:50. > :06:54.remarkable achievements of modern medicine. This teenager is getting a
:06:55. > :06:58.new kidney, and a new lease of life. Many more are waiting for the same
:06:59. > :07:02.chance. This is Wales's only transplant unit
:07:03. > :07:08.at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. Around 120 patients come
:07:09. > :07:12.here each year for a new pancreas or kidney. There are not enough organs
:07:13. > :07:18.to meet the demand. So how do you increase the number? Nine months ago
:07:19. > :07:23.Wales became the first, and only country in the UK, to introduce a
:07:24. > :07:25.new law, with the aim of increasing the supply for them and others
:07:26. > :07:29.across the UK. It means if you are an adult living
:07:30. > :07:33.in Wales you are now considered to be willing for your organs to be
:07:34. > :07:37.donated after death and lest you make your objection clear. New
:07:38. > :07:43.figures show that in the 12 months up to March this year 214 people
:07:44. > :07:48.received transplants compare it to 174 the previous year. An increase
:07:49. > :07:53.of almost 25%, much higher than that across the UK.
:07:54. > :07:58.The number of deceased donors in Wales increased by just four, in
:07:59. > :08:03.line with the rest of the UK. But the Welsh government's top doctor,
:08:04. > :08:08.is cautiously optimistic. We have to be careful about looking at when
:08:09. > :08:13.you's data in anything. I think we are on the right track. We are
:08:14. > :08:18.seeing more donations and transplants on people's lives are
:08:19. > :08:22.being transformed. Lori knows all too well wide
:08:23. > :08:29.transplants matters. She knew Sherwood need a new heart,
:08:30. > :08:33.inheriting her father's condition. But as her husband explains last
:08:34. > :08:37.September, just five months after their wedding, her heart stopped and
:08:38. > :08:43.she never recovered. But who organs saved the lives. I'm
:08:44. > :08:48.sure, with time, I'll appreciate that she lives on in many ways.
:08:49. > :08:57.She's always around me. But I also believe that, and her memory, but I
:08:58. > :09:01.take comfort in that quite literally she has given three other people
:09:02. > :09:07.life. They are living thanks to someone so wonderful. Someone who
:09:08. > :09:11.was such a wonderful person to me. The stark reality is that despite
:09:12. > :09:17.all the efforts to increase donor numbers those on the front line say
:09:18. > :09:22.too many still die waiting. We are seeing patients die every
:09:23. > :09:28.other week in Wales. As a result of the shortage of organs. We need to
:09:29. > :09:33.make some changes, if we can increase the number of donors by a
:09:34. > :09:38.relatively small amount, we can go a long way to solving that problem.
:09:39. > :09:43.Nobody expected the new Welsh law to lead to a really big increase in the
:09:44. > :09:45.number of donors, but what effect it has had will become clearer next
:09:46. > :09:49.A guard of honour has been provided for a body discovered in the ruins
:09:50. > :09:51.of the collapsed Didcot Power Station.

:11:12. > :11:17.involving indecent images of children here had significantly
:11:18. > :11:21.increased. Gwent Police provided figures for 2015, but the other
:11:22. > :11:30.three forces in Wales, showed an annual treble. The charity says it
