Good evening, as the boss of two hospitals on Merseyside - | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
he was in charge of providing health care for more than a quarter | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
But today Jonathan Parry was sacked as the Chief Executive | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
of the Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Mr Parry had been suspended - along with other senior | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
members of staff - more than a year ago and had | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
But we still don't know exactly what he did wrong. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Earlier, I spoke to our Social Affairs Correspondent Clare Fallon | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
and asked her what more we know about what's happened there. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Earlier, I spoke to our Social Affairs Correspondent Clare Fallon | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Not a lot, we simply have | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
a statement that has been released by the trust today telling us that | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
the chief executive Jonathan Parry has been sacked for gross misconduct | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
I was at this hospital in August last | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
year, on the day when four senior members | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
of staff, including the | :01:05. | :01:05. | |
I was told they had arrived at work is normal that morning, they had | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
been taken into meetings and were told they | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
were being suspended, and | :01:14. | :01:14. | |
that was as a result of complaints made by | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
whistle-blowers, and we can now look back at what the hospital trust | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
I want to stress that the whistle-blowing | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
concerns that have been raised do not concern patient safety or | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
And I would want the message very clearly to be | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
understood, there is no risk to patients, | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
public should feel confident about attending at the trust. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
So that is what they were saying last year. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
No interviews are being done, no real | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
explanation about what has gone on here. | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
In fairness to the trust, what | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
they have said to me is at the moment the outgoing chief executive | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
has the right to appeal against sacking so it would be | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
unfair to go into details at the moment. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
What about the other senior members of staff were suspended? | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
It has been decided that one of those | :02:13. | :02:13. | |
senior members of staff has now case to answer, | :02:14. | :02:23. | |
The other two making up the four are no longer working for | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
The chief operating boss, she has retired, and | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
the human resources boss has resigned. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
I understand proceedings are still ongoing. | :02:33. | :02:33. | |
All of this attracted criticism from some people | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
including the local MP, who said all of this has taken too | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
long and they say that it has cost too much, | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
because these members of staff were still being paid while | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
As of the summer that had added up to ?400,000. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
As of this evening we still do not know | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
what has gone on here, although clearly this | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
So serious the chief executive has now been sacked. | :03:03. | :03:13. | |
Firefighters searching for a couple - missing | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
after a house fire in Liverpool - have found two bodies. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
The blaze destroyed the house in Allerton at the weekend. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
It wasn't known whether the owners - believed to be a man and a woman | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
in their 60s or 70s - were at home at the time. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Police forensic officers will now investigate. | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
Police are stepping up patrols in the Aigburth | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
and Croxteth areas of Liverpool, after a man was shot | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Police and paramedics found a 30 year old man, | :03:34. | :03:52. | |
Police believe it to have been a targeted shooting. | :03:53. | :04:03. | |
UK home care Association said that local authorities throughout the | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
region are not taking care resulting in some councils handing back | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
contracts. I think we are at a tipping point. West Riding are | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
realising they cannot operate in the rates local authorities are prepared | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
to pay so we have to take some action right now to address the | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
decline in the home care setter. Dash-mac sector. | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
As many as 1000 public pay phones could disappear from streets | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
across the North West - amid claims they are no longer used | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
But many people believe they're still vital in emergencies. | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
In the age of the mobile phone, the use of phone boxes has dropped | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
by 90% over the past decade, but in | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
rural Lancashire, the rolling hills can prove a barrier to connection. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
The signal outside the pub or the bar, you cannot use the | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Now, with BT considering the removal of many | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
payphones, the council working for people to speak up | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
The strength of the mobile phone is not good around here, and | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
even today it has not been there at all. | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
It just switches off and nobody has a signal. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
So, one could argue this should be maintained. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
According to BT's figures, the 50 phone boxes | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
in the Ribble Valley have been used on average 14 times each in the past | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
year, some have been used more than 150 times, | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Everyone has mobile phones, even your great granny has them now. | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
It is 60p a minute to use one of these | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
BT says it is still committed to providing public | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
payphones, and will only remove them with the permission of local | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
We will listen to what people are saying. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
We are testing for mobile signal that every one of these | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
sites, so we're not taking anything out where there is no mobile signal | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
But the sad fact is many of these payphones are simply not being | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
At three-month consultation on the Ribble Valley's payphones is now | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
He made his name with a controversial painting | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
of Eric Cantona and his Manchester United team mates. | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
And he re-created a version of Michaelangelo's Last Judgement | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
But then the artist Michael Browne seemed to disappear. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
You might have thought he'd have made a fortune | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
But - as Stuart Flinders reports - nothing could be | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
You build up the mood you want from lots of images. | :06:43. | :06:56. | |
Manchester United's new manager Jose Mourhno. | :06:57. | :07:11. | |
United have always inspired Michael, first as a fan from Moss Side, | :07:12. | :07:23. | |
His portrait of Eric Cantona as the Resurrected Christ offended | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
But Eric liked it so much he bought the painting. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Religion is one of the recurring themes in Michael's work. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
This is his tribute to Michelangelo in a pizza restaurant. | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
Religious art and football took him to Italy, where he spent two | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
and a half years trying to repeat his Cantona success | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
It is supposed to be about 11 feet high, that painting. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
I could never get hold of Mario Balotelli, so I | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Then I went to Rome, and try to get to the Vatican, | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
because I heard they were going to show more art-orientated religious | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
Having failed to attract the interest of Balotelli | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
But the money has run out, and the man once courted | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
by United stars now lives in a homeless hostel in Salford. | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
You are a good artist, but a bad businessman, perhaps? | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
I'm sure I will be OK eventually because now I | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
am back in the UK, working at building | :08:23. | :08:33. | |
clientele and have had some help from people. | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
This is surely not the end for Michael. | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
He still has his talent and he is already in talks | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Football and Wigan Athletic have sacked manager Gary Caldwell | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
He led the Latics to the League One title last season. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
But they've struggled in the Championship, | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
winning only two out of their 14 league games, and are currently | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
In tonight's games, Liverpool booked their place in the | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
fifth round of the EFL Cup, with Daniel Sturridge scoring two | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
goals to secure a 2-1 home victory over Tottenham. | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
Preston had a less successful evening. | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
They were thrashed 6-0 away to Newcastle. | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
How do you decide which high school to send your child to? | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
You probably look at Ofsted reports and league tables, or choose | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
But some are taking it a bit further, | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Like this video by Fallibroome academy in Macclesfield. | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
It's been viewed thousands of times online. | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
2000 pupils took part in the impressive production. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
So if you want to see the full production | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
We are back in the mail they are. Last night it visually quite cold | :09:39. | :10:06. | |
that this will not be the case. It will bring legible rain in the next | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
few days but will just cloud this up a bit. Dash-mac negligible. First | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
thing this morning was really very cool but tomorrow a much milder | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
picture. You will be starting the day with tempters around eight or 10 | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
degrees and we are already perhaps six or seven but much better than | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
last night. You can spot where two patches of Brazilian there and that | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
side pays will be low but afraid that weather stays with us tomorrow | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
so from time to time you will see spots of drizzly rain that nothing | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
to write home about our trouble us but it does mean a cloudy picture | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
and at times all look fairly gloomy. Every now and then the sun will try | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
to promote the client will be the predominant feature. The breeze | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
picks up nearly as the monastery strong throughout the day that | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
temperatures are good. Dash-mac the breeze picks up yearly in the | :10:59. | :10:59. | |
morning. settled and on the mild side. Nick | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
now has all the national weather. Hello. Autumn is the season of | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
change, most noticeably with those autumn colours on display today in | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Buckinghamshire, as photographed by one of our weather watchers. Always | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
helps when there is blue sky above. Our weather is always changing | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
regardless of the season. One of those changes is taking place, we | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
are losing last week's Easterly winds and now a westerly wind. That | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
means it's turning milder by day and night but it does mean the return of | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
Atlantic weather fronts, especially to north-western parts of the UK. | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
The reason, high pressure in Germany and low pressure Iceland. Here is | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
the first of those weather fronts for Scotland and Northern Ireland | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
through the night, the first part of tomorrow. There isn't a huge amount | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
of rain associated with this. Could see rain over the hills of northern | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
England and Wales as the night goes on. The odd shower clipping Sussex | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
and Kent. A lot of dry weather for England and Wales. It's mild here, | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
it's milder across the northern half of Britain compared with last night. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
But the further south you are the closer to that area of high | :12:05. | :12:06. |
