Tonight's headlines: Claims Welsh patients' lives will be at risk

if an A department in England is moved further away

And a man is in a serious condition after slitting

his throat in the dock at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court.

Welsh lives could be put at risk if an Accident and Emergency

department is relocated from Shrewsbury in Shropshire

to Telford, which is further away from the Welsh border.

That's according to the MP for Montgomeryshire, Glyn Davies.

He's taken part in a debate in Westminster tonight

It's a short walk for Joy Jones from Newtown to her local cafe but

getting to her nearest accident and emergency department is not easy.

She knows the journey to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital too well. Person

has epilepsy. Even though it's a 45 minutes away there is no nearer

department for her in Wales so like many others in this area she has to

travel over the border. During Joshua's childhood she made many a

junior in a Amblin 's. It is terrifying because you are very

frightened for his life and what's going to happen. You start counting

down the miles and trying to work out where you were on the road. It's

very frightening in the night and it feels even more frightening. Joy

believed in the event of an actual emergency time as a critical factor

and people could end up dying on the road trying to reach the AMD

department in Telford. I headed out to see how long the journey would

take. I have just driven past Welshpool and 17 miles from screws

buddy. It's all single track road so it's slow journey. If the AMD

department was moved to Telford my sat nav tells me I would have 34

mile journey. So it will effectively double the distance. The two main

hospitals in Shropshire service only around 400,000 people and they have

been problems recruiting consultants so and plans it has to be

reorganised. The trust says when emergency department would put

specialist consultants in one place improving patient care. But a

recommendation to downgrade services in Telford in favour of one

emergency department basis Roseberry was rejected by the commissioning

group for the area last month. This evening debate was held in the House

of Commons on services in Shropshire and mid Wales. The MPs gone Richard

described his constituents as being flabbergasted by the latest

decision. All I want is up for them in give us an idea how we can move

forward from what is a shambles which is putting the interests of my

constituents, to put their care at the centre of the plans we have in

structure. Tonight the minister announced that the joint

commissioning group will meet next week to start the review of the

options which could last up to three months. He also stated a new

independent chair would be appointed with the casting vote to help decide

on a favoured location. It will then go to public consultation.

Paramedics and the court. He lost consciousness and a lot of lead and

was flown to Morriston Hospital. It's not clear what he used to how

he gained access to the weapon. Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court has

been closed all day and questions are being asked about security. The

whole community in Pembrokeshire and the staff working via found the

whole incident shocking and disturbing. Serious questions now

need to be asked of how is it that in a Magistrates' Court room a

defendant was there to plead guilty was able to commit a serious act of

violence against himself and potentially against other people.

This court does have a pull style metal detectors and security guards

at both entrances who check peoples bags" as they head into the

building. A spokesman for the Court service said nobody else was injured

in the incident but added it would be inappropriate to comment further

because of the ongoing police investigation.

who has 105 caps for Wales, is the favourite to take

up the position. Alun Wyn Jones is a superb choice

because of his consistency of performance. He is always up for the

game. His performance level never drops and you would hope the

captaincy would not affect him. He is a senior International and the

burden of captaincy should not affect his performance. He is an

obvious candidate. Football and the former

rain in the South. Snow on the Brecon Beacons. Northern counties,

some dry weather but showers as well. Snow warnings in force across

many parts of the UK tomorrow including Scotland, Northern

Ireland, parts of Wales and southern England. Windy in the north tomorrow

with lots of snow showers for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Snow

on bail is and we could see some snow in south-east England and East

Anglia. Close to home in Wales, some rain, sleet and snow in parts of the

south and south-east. They could be a few centimetres on the heads of

the valleys before it clears away. The wind is picking up again

night is gale force on the north and west coast and it will blow lots of

wintry showers across the country. A risk of ice with temperatures close
