Good evening. The family of a Warwickshire mother of three who | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
died during surgery to remove a huge tumour from her chest have | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
today received an out of court settlement of a hundred thousand | :00:16. | :00:25. | |
pounds. Her family say they were told she had a 98 per cent chance | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
of surviving surgery - but today the hospital said the surgery | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
carried "significant risk". Sarah Falkland reports. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
They were just nine, 12 and 15 when they lost their mum six years ago. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Today, with their grandmother, they went to the High Court in | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Birmingham to hear a judge sanction the settlement for her death. The | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
34-year-old care worker from Bedworth had suspected that what | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
doctors thought was stress was something more serious. She came | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
here to Bedworth Medical Centre. She was seen by two GPs, who are | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
defendants in this case. Neither of them thought to get her a chest X- | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
ray. It wasn't until seven months later that a third GP did refer her | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
to the George Eliot Hospital that St Day, and a tumour was discovered. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
By the time surgeons at the then- Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry came | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
to operate, the tumour weighed 1.6 kilograms. Ms Bailey developed an | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
abnormal heart rhythm and died. still really miss her. We will | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
never get over it. It has been hard for all of us, it is like a | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
grieving roller-coaster. Your thoughts are everywhere. But you | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
just have to stick together. I am angry with the people who were | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
giving us information incorrectly, saying there was only a 2% chance | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
that anything could go wrong. Neither the hospital nor the GPs | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
have admitted liability. No one from the surgery would comment | :01:48. | :01:58. | |

sympathies and condolences to the family. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
A woman has avoided serious injury after a lorry overturned and landed | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
on her car near Walsall. The accident happened on the northbound | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
carriageway of the M6. The woman was treated for a leg injury, and | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
the effects of shock. The driver of the lorry wasn't injured. As a | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
result of that accident, the N six remained closed northbound tonight. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
A year after Pakistan was hit by monsoon flooding, charities in the | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
West Midlands say they're concerned donations have dwindled. 11 million | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
people were forced from their homes, but only 43 per cent of the houses | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
destroyed have been replaced. Satnam Rana reports. | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
I was scared, but I had no choice... Recalling the moment he's swum | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
across the raging river to return to his family and home. The bridge | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
had been washed away. He was on holiday in the Swat valley of | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
Pakistan last July, when the monsoon at least it's devastating | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
rains. -- unleashed its devastating rains. A year on, what is your | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
family telling you? I just find them, saying that this time of the | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
year, the river is rising. So far, nearly $2.5 billion has been | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
donated to the floods appear, but the charity Islamic Relief says | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
there is a shortfall which is slowing down progress in recovery | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
work. 12 months on, there is a largely unnoticed Unitarian crisis | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
on going in Pakistan. -- humanitarian crisis. 8 million | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
people are still without basic needs like Shelter and schooling. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Now the United Nations is reporting up to 6 million people could be | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
affected by floods in the monsoon season this year. My biggest | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
concern would be that in the whole melee of so many things going on in | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
the world, that people would forget about Pakistan. The impact that | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
would have his people cannot look after themselves, they would be | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
relied on charity. The main thing we try and do is help people help | :04:25. | :04:30. |
