Good evening. The NHS Trust running That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Good evening. The NHS Trust running Stafford Hospital has been fined | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
over ?200,000 following the death of a diabetic patient seven years ago. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Gillian Astbury died after staff at the Mid Staffordshire trust failed | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
to identify she needed insulin. Gillian died on the 11th of April | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
2007, simply because she wasn't given insulin. She was failed by | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
nurses on a shift is, conducting 11 drug rounds. Unusually, the high | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Sheriff sat next to the judge, who said responsibility lay firmly at | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
the door of management at the highest level. Every hospital | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
patient has the right to expect more. Serious safety management | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
flaws were identified by our investigation. We expect lessons to | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
be learnt across the NHS, to prevent this happening again. The carer | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
fought for seven years for someone to be held responsible for taking | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
everything from him. He has described the whole prosecution to | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
me as Monty Python but he said after seven years of talking common sense, | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
to those forced to defend the nonsensical, enough is enough. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Ultimately, a trust which is ?21 million in the red has to pay | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
?227,000. This was about getting messages out there, in the hope that | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
it will send some shock waves through the boardrooms of other NHS | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
trusts. So, why didn't the Health and Safety Executive prosecute | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
individuals? I said my statement, thank you. The judge talked of | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
accountability but family and friends feel no senior executive has | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
been held accountable. Our reporter Liz Copper is in | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Stafford. Liz, do you expect there to be any more prosecutions? | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
Gillian's family have made it clear. They see this as the end of a long | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
and distressing process and in its statement, the trust said this was | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
the final stage of the investigations into her death. As | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
for other prosecutions, we know that prosecutors are looking at one other | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
case, that is the name `` that is the case of ivy. They are looking at | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
173 cases but we have no idea, if any, of those cases might lead to a | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
prosecution. There has been a second inquest into | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
another patient. What more can you tell us about that? | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
That is the case of John Robinson. He was 20 when he died in April | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
2006. The inquest into his death today, we heard from the coroner who | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
said the findings of the first inquest into his case had been | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
quashed and this was to be a fresh inquest, looking at fresh evidence. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
Tributes have been paid to two Midlands servicemen who died in a | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Lance Corporal Oliver Thomas and | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
Flight Lieutenant Rakesh Chauhan were on board a Lynx helicopter | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
which went down 30 miles from the border with Pakistan on Saturday. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Three other servicemen on board were also killed, bringing the number of | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
British casualties in the Afghan conflict to 453. | :03:35. | :03:48. | |
Lance Corporal Oliver Thomas and Flight Lefttenant Rakesh Chauhan, | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
both servicemen in the prime of their lives, and both described by | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
the army and their families as bright, and gifted with a passion | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
for life. Oliver Thomas was 26 and from Kington in Herefordshire, where | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
he was head boy at Lady Hawkins school, voted into the job by both | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
teachers and pupils. The first day of term today was quiet as teachers | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
had planned a training day. Instead they mourned. We are absolutely | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
devastated today. We had a break to let the staff cleared their thoughts | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
and share their personal memories of Oliver. Oliver's former history | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
teacher remembers several trips to the First and Second World War | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
battlefields. You could see from an early age, he was interested in the | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
Armed Forces. He always showed the utmost respect for the war dead. He | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
would have a joke but he took his studies seriously. It is a double | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
blow for the school because all the's mum is a member of staff here. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
I spoke to her earlier on the phone and she said a statement released | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
sums up her son. It said, all seized every opportunity and achieved in | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
all that he did. The pain of the Thomas family is matched by the | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
other family. I was concerned for his safety. It overshadowed the | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
pride we had for him and all he achieved at such a young age. And | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
another Midlands school is left to remember a fallen people with pride. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
He was delighted to have been assigned the task in which he could | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
use his intellect and training to make a real difference to the world. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
He was in the Royal Air Force. Oliver Thomas was in the | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
intelligence corps. Both were passengers on the helicopter when it | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
crashed in Kandahar. The bodies of both men are due to be flown back to | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
the UK next week. Within the next hour MPs will vote | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
on the proposed High Speed Rail link between London and Birmingham. | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
Around 30 backbench Conservatives have said they'll be voting against | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
the ?50 billion project, claiming it's too costly and will damage the | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
environment. Among them is the Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant who | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
was sacked as the party's Vice Chairman over outspoken opposition | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
to HS2. The Government won't be defeated, as Labour has given its | :06:10. | :06:19. | |
backing to the project. The remarkable fundraising campaign | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
by cancer patient Stephen Sutton has now topped the ?3 million mark. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Stephen's initial target was to raise ?10,000 for the Teenage Cancer | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Trust. But the Staffordshire teenager's story has received | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
worldwide publicity and tonight the total stands at ?3,000,580. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
That's all from me. Manish Bhasin will be here with Late Kick off at | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
11.25pm. I'll leave you with the weather from Shefali. | :06:38. | :06:45. | |

cooler as we go into the bank holiday weekend. | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
Hello, I am going to throw some numbers at you first of all. 22 | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Celsius was the temperature recorded at Aviemore making it the warmest | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
