:01:02. > :01:05.the company behind two nurshng homes in Northampton has gone into
:01:06. > :01:08.administration. There are now concerns about what will happen to
:01:09. > :01:13.the elderly residents at thd cedar`wood and Redruth homes, if a
:01:14. > :01:21.buyer can't be found. Our rdporter Stuart Ratcliffe is outside the
:01:22. > :01:26.Redruth home now. Good evening, I spent a few hours
:01:27. > :01:30.here at this nursing home today and I spoke to some of the residents and
:01:31. > :01:36.families of those residents and I also spoke to the staff and what was
:01:37. > :01:40.repeated to me was the word family, because they said that this place is
:01:41. > :01:45.like one big family and closing it would be like breaking up that
:01:46. > :01:51.family. Francis has been cldared for here since 2012, care that she says
:01:52. > :01:56.has been at the highest standard. From day one, I had been made to
:01:57. > :02:04.feel at home and I have had absolutely fantastic care. The care
:02:05. > :02:07.that I have had has been, jtst the slightest thing is that it has done
:02:08. > :02:12.for me, I am helped in everx way that I want to be helped. And the
:02:13. > :02:15.news is that it is closing has been greeted with shock and disbdlief but
:02:16. > :02:22.only by the other residents but also by their families. She's 80 years of
:02:23. > :02:26.age, she knows everybody, they are like family and friends, and all of
:02:27. > :02:30.a sudden, you are uprooted `nd you have to try and settle in somewhere
:02:31. > :02:37.else. When you are older it is not the same. It is a lovely falily
:02:38. > :02:43.atmosphere, the nurses are `mazing, you could not do more in yotr own
:02:44. > :02:47.home. Across town, it is thd same situation in the Cedarwood nursing
:02:48. > :02:52.home. This woman is worried about how she will find a new homd for her
:02:53. > :02:57.husband. The nursing homes `re not therefore these people to go to
:02:58. > :03:00.because they need nursing 24/7, and it is just not there. Rather than
:03:01. > :03:07.closing down the homes, the nursing homes, the council should btilding
:03:08. > :03:10.more. The council 's problels began when the Care Quality Commission
:03:11. > :03:14.raised concerns about the local homes, which meant that no new
:03:15. > :03:18.residents could be registerdd, meaning fewer patients, makhng the
:03:19. > :03:21.business unviable. Today, the administrators have said th`t their
:03:22. > :03:26.priority is now to make surd that the needs of the residents `re
:03:27. > :03:30.prioritised and handled in the most sensitive and professional lanner
:03:31. > :03:37.possible. But nobody is unddr any illusion that finding spaces for all
:03:38. > :03:40.of the residents will be easy. It is not great swathes of care home
:03:41. > :03:43.provision is out there, it hs something we are going to h`ve to
:03:44. > :03:51.manage and manage carefully and it will take a period of time to do
:03:52. > :03:53.that in a sensitive manner that we wish to follow. Time is now of the
:03:54. > :03:59.essence. If no buyer is found and these homes close, it will happen in
:04:00. > :04:01.less than a month. We have heard from Northants County
:04:02. > :04:06.Council and they have said they re hoping to double the closurd
:04:07. > :04:10.period, perhaps taking it up to two months, so perhaps that is some
:04:11. > :04:13.small crumb of comfort for the staff and also for the families. What
:04:14. > :04:17.everybody really wants is for a buyer to be found, but at the
:04:18. > :04:20.moment, having spoken to be administrators, that seems
:04:21. > :04:28.increasingly unlikely. Thank you. Ian Turner, Chairman from
:04:29. > :04:32.the Registered Nursing Home Association, he joined us now, just
:04:33. > :04:35.listening to the report, it is the fear of disruption and the fear of
:04:36. > :04:41.change, I know that you run six nursing homes yourself, how damaging
:04:42. > :04:45.can that be? It can be very damaging and upsetting to all those concerned
:04:46. > :04:50.and to the relatives, of cotrse What we really need to do in these
:04:51. > :04:55.situations is to yes, ask for more time to start with, but really, for
:04:56. > :04:59.everybody to be reviewing the reasons for the closure. Th`t means
:05:00. > :05:02.asking the Care Quality Comlission to look at how serious the
:05:03. > :05:07.allegations and deficiencies are in the service, if there are any, to
:05:08. > :05:12.ask the County Council to look at supply and demand and if thdse homes
:05:13. > :05:15.are needed in the medium and long`term asking the administrators
:05:16. > :05:18.to actually prolong that period whilst the discussions go on. Does
:05:19. > :05:25.have the big question is, what practical advice can you give to the
:05:26. > :05:30.relatives at the moment at those care homes? The best thing that they
:05:31. > :05:33.can do is approach those three bodies, the regulator, the local
:05:34. > :05:39.authority, approached the administrators, and basically give
:05:40. > :05:44.their views as to what they think should happen. How common is this?
:05:45. > :05:50.This is happening quite quickly isn't it? Distancing to be puite
:05:51. > :05:52.quick. It happened in a big way last year with one of the major
:05:53. > :05:58.operations when everybody got involved, and none of the homes were
:05:59. > :06:03.closed in these periods of time The system managed overall to m`ke sure
:06:04. > :06:06.that nobody actually had to move out and find new accommodation, and in
:06:07. > :06:12.the ideal world, that is wh`t we would try to do in all of these
:06:13. > :06:18.situations. Is this down to a lack of long`term planning? A lack of
:06:19. > :06:23.strategy for an ageing population. The shorthand is, yes. The care bill
:06:24. > :06:29.that is currently going through its Parliamentary process, that should
:06:30. > :06:33.come in next year. That places a duty on the local authoritids to
:06:34. > :06:36.actually create a market for services and one of the things that
:06:37. > :06:40.is happening at the moment hs that we are developing, the local
:06:41. > :06:43.authority is developing market position statements so that the
:06:44. > :06:48.providers and the local authority can have guidance on what sdrvices
:06:49. > :06:51.should be there now and in the future. Thank you.

:07:21. > :07:29.a knife. The RSPCA has started an investigation.
:07:30. > :07:34.I was walking around couple of weeks ago past year, and this is where we
:07:35. > :07:39.found the first severed head here. That was the first four grudsome
:07:40. > :07:42.discoveries in the past month. Stephen, an officer at the @ngling
:07:43. > :07:47.club, has discovered three severed heads and one body. Almagro I
:07:48. > :07:56.believe it is somebody that has taken the head clean off, bdcause no
:07:57. > :08:02.animal was taken. It looks like a pure, clean cut, so I believe it has
:08:03. > :08:08.been taken for food or maybd somebody's idea of a sick joke. This
:08:09. > :08:14.is read the decapitated bodx was found, and we have been givdn
:08:15. > :08:18.pictures of the swans, but they are too graphic and distressing to
:08:19. > :08:22.broadcast. The RSPCA says that most cases like this are natural cause by
:08:23. > :08:26.other predators, and they confirmed that the RSPCA would be looking into
:08:27. > :08:30.these attacks, but until thdy have seen the bodies they cannot comment
:08:31. > :08:34.on the exact cause of death. The area is popular with Angers, parents
:08:35. > :08:39.and children and since then, patrols have increased. It has been very
:08:40. > :08:43.distressing, you would not want any child to see it, because it would be
:08:44. > :08:47.very distressing, like it would be for any one. We would like to say
:08:48. > :08:51.that assembly actually comes across somebody doing this, what c`n
:08:52. > :08:58.actually happen if they are disturbed? What is to stop them
:08:59. > :09:01.turning the knife on a membdr of the public? You can see just how tame
:09:02. > :09:06.these Swans are here, and it is against the law to kill or hnjure
:09:07. > :09:11.them and it carries a maximtm fine of ?5,000 and up to six months in
:09:12. > :09:16.prison. Any body with inforlation is asked to contact the RSPCA.
:09:17. > :09:19.If someone collapsed in front of you ` would you know what to do? Well,

:09:26. > :09:30.medical charity Magpas says more of us need to be better equippdd. It's
:09:31. > :09:39.now urging people to take up the offer of training in how to perform
:09:40. > :09:44.CPR. Louise Hubball reports. CPR, compression is 100 timds a
:09:45. > :09:48.minute, in the centre of thd chest. The question is, if somebodx that
:09:49. > :09:53.you knew had a heart attack, would you know what to do until
:09:54. > :10:03.professional help arrived? Do you know how to do CPR? No. What is it?
:10:04. > :10:07.First aid? I probably would if I had to. I did when she was about nine
:10:08. > :10:14.months, I did learn, and for small children as well, why probably could
:10:15. > :10:18.remember. If pushed. And as any medical telemetry, you never know
:10:19. > :10:25.when you might need CPR. `` and as any medic will tell you. If somebody
:10:26. > :10:29.is showing no signs of life, we recommend that you start CPR and if
:10:30. > :10:33.you call 999, the ambulance service will talk you through how to do that
:10:34. > :10:37.while you are on the telephone, but that is not necessarily the best
:10:38. > :10:41.time to learn, it is better to come and do some training beforehand so
:10:42. > :10:49.you are prepared for that eventuality. The basics are simple,
:10:50. > :10:53.even a young child can learn, this man would like to see it tatght to
:10:54. > :10:59.every teenager. I have taught a lot of young people, 14, 15, life`saving
:11:00. > :11:03.type scenarios in a swimming club environment, and they are more than
:11:04. > :11:08.able to do CPR or certainly on people of the same age as they are.
:11:09. > :11:15.Ideally, somebody at that age in school as part of the curriculum,
:11:16. > :11:18.that would be perfect. Six`xear`old Aiden has a special reason to learn
:11:19. > :11:23.the technique after his mother saved his dad's life when he had ` heart
:11:24. > :11:27.attack at home. My wife did not allowed to do CPR, so she tdlephoned
:11:28. > :11:33.999 and they talked through it and it saved my life. Red the ahm here
:11:34. > :11:37.is to save more lives and so medical charity Magpas will be holdhng a

:12:56. > :12:59.Sinclair. The venue was a church in the centre
:13:00. > :13:03.of Cambridge, the turnout is not brilliant but the greens ard going
:13:04. > :13:08.into this campaign feeling very confident. Last time their top
:13:09. > :13:13.candidate came within 1% of winning a seat. This time his party leader
:13:14. > :13:17.thinks he can do it. The grden message is proving popular with
:13:18. > :13:22.young people and supporters of other parties, she says. There is a lot of
:13:23. > :13:28.disillusionment with the Lib Dems over the issue of tuition fdes and
