A coroner has said that the North Cumbria Hospitals Trust showed | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
"shambolic implementation" of policy and a "total absence of leadership" | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
following the deaths of two patients, after neglect | :00:21. | :00:21. | |
Michael Parke from Cockermouth died at the West Cumberland Hospital in | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
December 2012 and Amanda Coulthard from Penrith died in the Cumberland | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
Both suffered pneumonia after feeding tubes were inserted | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
into their lungs instead of their stomachs. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Megan Paterson was at Cockermouth Coroners court for us today. | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
Earlier I asked her what happened to these patients. | :00:44. | :00:53. | |
Well, Michael Park and Amanda Coulthard died after what should | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
have been very simple medical procedures went wrong and mistakes | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
were not detected. In the most simple form, nasogastric tubes are a | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
type of feeding tube, said in through a patient's knows, taking | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
nutrients to their stomach. In both these cases, the tubes were put in | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
the wrong place and instead went to the patient's lungs. Both Michael | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
and Amanda contracted pneumonia and later died. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
So, what safeguards did the trust have in place? | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
According to the coroner, the safeguards which were in place were | :01:28. | :01:28. | |
not strong enough. In 2005, there not strong enough. In 2005, there | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
was a death in Carlisle related to was a death in Carlisle related to | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
feeding tubes. In 2011, the NHS issued further guidance for trusts, | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
and here in Cumbria, the trust was supposed to be in fermenting | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
changes, introducing further staff training and making things safer. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
They failed to do that quickly enough. In the weeks leading up to | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Michael Park's death, several e-mails were exchanged calling for | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
greater training, but it never happened. And Michael Park's case, | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
his doctor failed to realise the tube had been placed into Michael's | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
long, despite looking at x-ray which showed that was clearly the case. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
The coroner said directors and managers at the trust were so | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
distracted by the potential merger and acquisition by Northumbria | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
health care trust that day-to-day governance fell by the wayside. He | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
said they were asleep at the wheel. The coroner said Michael died as a | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
result of systemic neglect. So had no improvements being made by | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
the time and a coal-fired died three years later? | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
The coroner today said improvements had been made, policy had been | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
changed, and staff were starting to operate under the new policy. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
Unfortunately, in Amanda Coulthard's case, staff treating her did not | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
argument that properly. Today, the trust which runs the hospital said | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
it would not comment directly on the findings of the inquest, and | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
instead, it issued this statement. I am deeply sorry about these | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
events, and they wish to extend my deepest sympathies to the families | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
and friends of Michael Bach and Amanda Coulthard. The trust fully | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
takes on the inclusion is of HM senior coroner Roberts. Patient | :03:03. | :03:03. | |
safety remains of paramount importance to the trust, and we | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
expect high standards of patient care at all times. These were not | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
met for Michael or Amanda. We sincerely apologise for this. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
And the coroner today paid tribute several times to the families of | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Michael Park and Amanda Coulthard, saying they have conducted | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
themselves with utmost dignity throughout a process which has no | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
doubt been difficult. Thank you very much. | :03:29. | :03:29. | |
A shot was fired by a man who tried to rob a Post Office | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Police said they were called to Hylton Road just | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Two men - one carrying a firearm - demanded money from | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
The shot was fired when he refused to hand over any cash. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Officers believe the men left in a silver Vauxhall Vectra | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
No-one was hurt but police have stepped up patrols in the area. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
The inquest into the deaths of the British tourists killed | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
in a terrorist attack in Tunisia has heard the police delayed | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
66-year-old Lisa Burbidge, from Gateshead, was among those | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
killed in Sousse in 2015. Peter Harris reports. | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
Described as beautiful, a woman of dignity and style, | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Lisa Burbidge was among 30 British victims of a lone gunman. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
A widow and mother of two and with four grand children, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
she'd been on holiday at the resort of Port El Kantaoui near Sousse | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
when the attack began on a beach and at a hotel. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
Today, families of the dead were at London's Royal Courts | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
of Justice, where the circumstances leading up to the deaths of each | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
of the victims will be examined over the course of the hearing. | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
And on day one, a startling claim - that Tunisian law enforcement units | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
deliberately delayed their arrival and that a local investigation | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
criticised some police for wasting time. | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
The court heard an account of how one beach guard opened fire, but was | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
hit by a grenade thrown by the attacker. A member of the public who | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
picked up the gun then found he was unable to work it. | :05:14. | :05:14. | |
One aspect that will emerge are the claims of some families that | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
travel companies had assured their relatives | :05:18. | :05:18. | |
Sousse was safe despite previous terrorist attacks. | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
The inquests are likely to last seven weeks. | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Hundreds of people gathered in York today to release balloons | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
to celebrate what would have been the eighth birthday of Katie Rough. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Katie died after being found with serious injuries last week, | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
and a 15-year-old girl has been charged with her murder. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
The event followed a Facebook appeal to celebrate Katie's life, | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
and it took place near the school she attended in the Woodthorpe | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
Her family wanted balloons of every colour of the rainbow to represent | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
the "exuberance" of Katie, and the hundreds who turned | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
up celebrated her life with a respectful silence. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Members of an anti-fracking group in North Yorkshire have set up | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
a protest camp close to the site where permission has been given | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
The camp is on private land but has attracted well | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
over 1,000 visitors, as our Business Correspondent | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
They call it a protection camp, but they call themselves protect doors. | :06:21. | :06:34. | |
What they want to do is try to prevent fracking in this part of | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
North Yorkshire. After exactly a month here, they claim is that the | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
camp has been welcomed locally and further afield, with 1300 visitors | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
coming to hear their message. We always knew that a camp would | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
have some opposition. It is a scary thing to suddenly find a new | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
community and your doorstep. But we're hoping that the people who | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
still might have concerns will come and visit us, see that we are normal | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
people, and we just want the same things as them, and we are the To Be | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
Missed Camp, because we're here protect. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Hello. Nice to meet you. Thank you very | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
much. What have we got here? Locals have donated clothes and food | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
to the camp. Sue even cooked Christmas lunch. I just felt that I | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
couldn't in all conscious sit at home with my family in a lovely warm | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
house, having Christmas dinner without at least giving them a | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
semblance of Christmas celebration. However, there is undoubtedly a | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
degree of local goodwill towards this campus so-called protectors. | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
But are there any local dissenting voices? | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Non-, Albion in a nonscientific way, Non-, Albion in a nonscientific way, | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
that I could find. Of course, in the villages around, there will be | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
people who object to the camp, but its inhabitants say it is here to | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
stay. Their best bet is that test fracking could start in September. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
Eight long months, then, to garner more support and deflate criticism, | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
plotting a way to thwart the perceived enemy. | :08:08. | :08:08. | |
Well, Third Energy - the company planning to frack | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
at Kirby Misperton - said that it hopes those who object | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
to its plans respect its rights, and those of Ryedale residents, | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
to go about their business lawfully and peacefully. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
That's it from me this evening, time now to take a look | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
at the weather for the week ahead with Paul Mooney. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Definitely much less bitter this morning? | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
Yes, altogether more quiet this week. This time last week I promised | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
you snow, ice, gales, the lot. This week, things are much quieter. High | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
pressure dominates, meaning things will stay fairly settled, lots of | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
cloud around, and patchy rain for a time as well. But we will have frost | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
free nights, and a milder feel generally. Cloud around tonight, and | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
some outbreaks of rain, especially in the West and north. Fairly light | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
drizzly rain which it shouldn't cause any problems, and the further | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
south and east you are, the more dry you will stay. It will stay cloudy | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
everywhere, and the cloud and southern breeze. The temperature | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
dropping much below five Celsius. Cloudy start tomorrow, some patchy | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
rain around, especially through the morning. The rain becomes more | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
intermittent and patchy through the day but stays mostly cloudy. | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
Temperatures will climb up to 9-10 Celsius in the southerly breeze, so | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
much milder than it has been. A lot of low cloud sitting down on the | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
hills, so poor visibility and higher ground. Into tomorrow evening and | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
overnight, we keep the cloud. Still a fuse box of rain here and there, | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
but generally drying up through the night. A mild night, temperatures no | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
lower than six or seven as we head into Wednesday morning. Wednesday | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
starts off grey, cloudy, Misty in places, but with a better chance of | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
cloud breaking. We will start the season sunny intervals breaking | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
through, generally brighter skies through the middle of the working | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
week. Similar temperatures again, highs of around ten on Wednesday | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
afternoon. High-pressure in charge, as I said. This weather front just | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
sinks away to the south, allowing the cloud to break midweek, and the | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
high really becomes established over the top of us as we had through the | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
second half of the week. Nothing changes a great deal. Light winds as | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
well, and things stay fairly quiet. For Thursday, mostly dry, generally | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
cloudy skies, a a few breaks appearing here and there. | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
Temperatures up to 8-9 C on Thursday afternoon. Friday, perhaps a bit | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
cooler. The cloud more broken overnight. Allowing temperatures to | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
climb up to 6-7 for most of us on Friday afternoon. Staying fine and | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
dry as we had through the working week. Into next weekend, we will | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
keep you updated on your BBC local radio station. I will leave you with | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
a summary. perhaps a little milder. If you like | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
the mild weather, you'll have to head elsewhere in the country. Find | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
out more in the national weather forecast. Our weather is going | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
against normal expectations this week. In Highland Scotland some snow | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
to be seen on the hills. Temperatures as high as 12 Celsius | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
today. Over the next few days the coldest air is in the far south-east | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
of England where there is sunshine to be had. Four or five Celsius in | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
Kent. Differences remain over the next few days and here is why. I | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
pressure | :11:34. | :11:34. |
