There are calls tonight for care homes to be run by the Government

after a dementia sufferer from East Yorkshire

was forced to move four times in the last year of his life.

Pat Maguire from Beverley says his father-in-law's condition

worsened significantly because of the moves.

A number of privately run residential homes in the area have

closed in the last year and now Mr Maguire says adult social care

More from our political reporter, Sarah Sanderson.

Pat Maguire has spoken out after he and his family chose

to find residential care in Beverley in East Yorkshire for his

But because of issues surrounding closures and suitability,

his father-in-law had to be moved four times after initially settling

While we can't ever prove it, we honestly believe that the moves

that he had to undergo affected him and made his condition worse.

Yes, they give money to local authorities

but it's the Government, through taxation, that ought to be

caring, just as we expect them to do for small children,

the young, we ought to be providing the same level of care

Funding issues have been blamed for a number of care homes

And earlier this month, Jeremy Corbyn said a Labour

Government would take failing private care homes into public

ownership in order to maintain social care protection.

But the Conservative MP for Beverley and Holderness says

The Government's absolutely committed to getting this right.

If you look on the ground in Beverley, despite the current

problems, in the next few weeks we're going to see new places coming

forward and over the next years I expect to see a much improved

situation and the Government is playing its part in doing that.

In a statement, the Department of Health says...

Meanwhile, for those who are dealing with current adult

social care problems, that long-term solution

Plans to improve one of Hull's busiest roads have gone on display.

The proposal for the A63 includes sinking the main road into a deep

cutting to improve the flow of traffic around the city.

There'll also be a footbridge between the city centre

Because the design is sinking the road seven metres in very,

very poor ground conditions, we are quite rightly concerned

with the history of schemes that have failed in the past but we've

spent an awful lot of time with the contractors carrying out

very detailed ground investigations and that has

A dog rescued from a designer puppy farm has given birth to four puppies

Ruby, who's a chihuahua cross, was kept in squalid conditions,

with no health check ups with 48 other dogs for breeding.

Designer cross breeds can earn criminals up to ?300 a time.

Healthy and friendly, these puppies were saved

Their mum, Ruby, was rescued from a puppy factory.

If they had been born there, they would have had no health checks

and the breeders would have seen them as breeding machines.

People get them and they come here and say I've got Jackahuahua

and you're thinking you've got a cross breed dog.

They don't see them as that, they market them as being

Now a look at the weather forecast with Keeley Donovan.

After a bitterly cold week it's set to get much less cold over

the weekend but with that some cloud and rain, much more

So through this evening and overnight, further spells

of rain and drizzle, a lot of cloud holding temperatures

up higher than they have been over the last few days,

down to two or three degrees and all of this is much milder air

which will continue to affect us through tomorrow.

Through the morning cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle.

A slow improvement through tomorrow, drier conditions gradually

developing, the rain becoming more light, patchy and tending to peter

out through the day but I don't think we'll get very much

brightness, I think we'll have to wait until after dark for these

On Sunday, a fine start to the day, clouding over, the risk of rain.

Goodbye. Good evening. Not many would argue

that January hasn't been dry, but today, many of us had our first

significant rain for some time, because the transition is on from

cold, Continental dry air to milder Atlantic air, but the transition is

a slow one. So we have had ice today, and freezing fog, in northern

England. We had a little sunshine as well in Norfolk, but we still have

the cold air around and about in the north. All this rain you can see,

which is giving is a wet day in some areas, 10-15 millimetres of rain has

fallen, as it comes north there could be some winter it issues. Snow

already falling over Scotland, possibly over northern England,

possibly some sleet over lower areas and fog. Not particularly nice, and

some icy conditions to contend with late in the night across Northern

Ireland, as the rain clears away. Again, a word of warning there could

be some ice around in the morning if
