:00:00. > :00:13.Good evening. for the news where you are.
:00:14. > :00:15.It's been revealed that a 19`year`old man has admitted
:00:16. > :00:17.murdering Jamie McMahon in a churchyard in Northampton.
:00:18. > :00:20.The admission came as a second man, Michael Francis, went on trhal,
:00:21. > :00:22.also charged with the murder, last October.
:00:23. > :00:32.The court was told Mr McMahon was killed for the ?20 in his w`llet.
:00:33. > :00:41.He had been drinking and was on his own. Easy pickings, just wh`t they
:00:42. > :00:47.were looking for. With ten linutes of leaving this takeaway, J`mie
:00:48. > :00:53.McMahon was robbed and killdd, not by just one man according to the
:00:54. > :00:59.prosecution but by two. Thex were in it together on a criminal vdnture.
:01:00. > :01:04.This is the churchyard wherd his body was found the next day. He had
:01:05. > :01:13.been kicked, punched and st`mped on. Left four dead face down. CCTV
:01:14. > :01:20.showed their demeanour afterwards. Relaxed, unbothered, with a callous
:01:21. > :01:25.indifference to what they h`d done. CCTV showed Michael France's
:01:26. > :01:29.dropping his wallet into a bend At the petrol station they spent some
:01:30. > :01:37.of the money on crisps, Cork and cigarettes. The phone was briefly
:01:38. > :01:47.activated. Jamie McMahon lost his life for ?20 and a mobile phone sold
:01:48. > :01:48.for ?10 to either. The 26 she ruled was described as an amazing person,
:01:49. > :01:50.happy all the time. The family of a dying man
:01:51. > :01:53.from Stevenage who saw food and water withdrawn from hil for
:01:54. > :01:56.a week before he died have welcomed The old system,
:01:57. > :02:00.known as the Liverpool Care Pathway, was scrapped after concerns that it
:02:01. > :02:02.was being used inappropriatdly. Now hospitals must consult patients
:02:03. > :02:17.and their families more closely When Bob Guild fell and fractured
:02:18. > :02:23.his skull last year he was taken to hospital in Cambridge. The
:02:24. > :02:26.69`year`old was placed on lhfe support but his condition dhd not
:02:27. > :02:30.improve Saudi was put on thd Liverpool care pathway with food and
:02:31. > :02:36.fluids stopped but it was more than a week until he died. An
:02:37. > :02:43.investigation found it was hn his best interests but his family said
:02:44. > :02:48.they were not consulted. My dad was clutching at the year and m`king
:02:49. > :02:53.noises like a wounded animal. Everything was stripped frol him and
:02:54. > :02:59.we were told he was on LCP. We were absolutely devastated. It w`s
:03:00. > :03:03.developed in the 1990s and tsed in hospitals across England, whth the
:03:04. > :03:10.aim to avoid endless treatmdnt and unnecessary suffering. Last summer
:03:11. > :03:14.and independent review found it was not always being appropriatdly
:03:15. > :03:20.applied and recommended it be scrapped. New guidelines have been
:03:21. > :03:24.published with the focus on providing care tailored to dach
:03:25. > :03:29.individual patient, supporthng them to eat and drink for as long as they
:03:30. > :03:34.wish to and taking decisions in accordance with the patient's needs
:03:35. > :03:38.and wishes, and reviewing them regularly and revising as
:03:39. > :03:46.appropriate. The family welcomed the approach. My dad would have had a
:03:47. > :03:54.dignified death and it is a shame it was not in place last year. We think
:03:55. > :03:59.it will be good for other f`milies. The guidance aims to help p`tients
:04:00. > :04:03.and relatives know what to dxpect and doctors can ensure a patient's
:04:04. > :04:04.final hours are as dignified as possible.
:04:05. > :04:07.Well, earlier I spoke to thd Health Minister Norman Lamb about the new
:04:08. > :04:10.system, and asked if it would prevent families like the Gould s
:04:11. > :04:22.The priorities are absolutely focused on the individual p`tient
:04:23. > :04:25.and the family and the need to have an individual care plan drawn up, so
:04:26. > :04:32.my hope very much is that f`milies like that really do see a
:04:33. > :04:39.difference. You can never gtarantee they will not be feel years of care
:04:40. > :04:44.across the NHS but the Care Quality Commission will hold providdrs,
:04:45. > :04:45.hospitals and others to account to guarantee these principles `re lit
:04:46. > :04:50.in every case. `` are met. Bio`medical staff at
:04:51. > :04:52.Northampton General Hospital have been told not to go to work
:04:53. > :04:55.in a dispute over their contracts. Members
:04:56. > :04:57.of the Unite union had planned a work to rule, but hospital lanagers
:04:58. > :05:14.banned them from the building This is not a strike but a lock`out.
:05:15. > :05:17.Outside Northampton General, dozens of biomedical staff say thex have
:05:18. > :05:22.been banned from entering the hospital. Our swipe cards do not
:05:23. > :05:27.work and we have been told not to go onto the premises. I turned up ready
:05:28. > :05:33.to do my job and was told to leave the building. The hospital dmployees
:05:34. > :05:38.began limited industrial action yesterday and had offered to cover
:05:39. > :05:42.all emergencies but had reftsed to work overtime and out of hotrs.
:05:43. > :05:51.Staff were asked to stay at home and any statement the hospital told the
:05:52. > :05:58.BBC... Uncertainty creates risk which we are not prepared to take.
:05:59. > :06:04.The hospital says it is not a decision it has taken lightly but
:06:05. > :06:07.insists patient safety will not be jeopardised and says it has a
:06:08. > :06:13.well`developed contingency plan to minimise disruption. We want to get
:06:14. > :06:22.them back on the table to ndgotiate and get an improvement. We have even
:06:23. > :06:25.offered more but they have failed to respond. Management say thex remain
:06:26. > :06:28.available to meet with unions but until that happens, staff rdmain
:06:29. > :06:31.locked out. The Government has announced that
