BBC Three years after being put | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
into special measures, has been taken off | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
the critical list. It runs hospitals in Lancaster, | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Kendal and Barrow and, following | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
an inspection in October, A truly remarkable turnaround | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
for a trust that's faced very | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
significant difficulties. Less than three years ago, | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Morecambe Bay Hospitals Trust was performing so poorly | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
it was placed in special measures. I think the staff were very bruised | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
by the CQC report in previous years, but I think they've responded | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
fantastically well and what we've seen is a dramatic improvement | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
in the quality of care provided in the trust and that's a real | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
tribute to the staff It's been a tough journey | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
for Morecambe Bay hospitals. Here at Furness General, | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
an enquiry found serious failures in the maternity unit | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
contributed to the deaths There were serious concerns, too, | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
at Westmorland General but the inspector says | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
that has all now changed. The inspectors found some elements | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
of care were outstanding and were impressed with improvements | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
in gynaecology, maternity services and end of life care, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
as well as communication between the hospitals | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
and community engagement. We saw lots of examples this time | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
of where people who have either been affected previously, | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
or use the services currently, have been really involved in taking | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
maternity services forward. It has been about the front-line | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
staff and all of our clinicians absolutely wanting to make | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
those improvements. All of those changes | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
and improvements It means such a lot to us, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
recognition for all the hard work we have done | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
over the last number of years. And the news is welcomed | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
by the people of Barrow as well. Two new knees, a new hip, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
both hands broken, I'm on warfarin, and they are | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
absolutely fantastic. There is still work to do, | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
with nursing posts unfilled in Lancaster and room | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
for improvement in safety, but this is a much | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
changed organisation. James Titcombe's son, Joshua, | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
died nine days after he was born Mr Titcombe's campaign | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
for answers was instrumental in uncovering the problems | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
at Furness General's Maternity Unit. Today he welcomed | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
the Trust's turnaround. Initially, there was a reluctance | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
for anybody to accept the scale of the problem | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
at the trust. Even the regulators said things | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
were fine when really they weren't, so I'm really pleased | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
that we eventually managed to get that recognition that | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
they were having serious problems. But, actually, the progress | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
over recent years is down to the leadership | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
and the culture of the trust. I'd really like to pay tribute | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
to Jackie at the trust, and all the staff, for working | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
as hard as they have done The family an 87-year-old woman | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
who was attacked in her home in Greater Manchester | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
are appealing for the robber Eileen Blane is still | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
in hospital with broken ribs after being knocked to the floor | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
during a violent attack The robber forcibly removed | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
the wedding ring from her finger, and her family are desperate | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
to get it back. It's not the financial issue, | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
it's ?30, it's the wedding ring which is of more significance | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
for the fact that it represents a link to my dad | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
for the past 64 years, which unfortunately | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
is no longer there. The funeral has taken place | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
of a Merseyside Police Officer who died last month | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
after his wife won a legal battle PC Paul Briggs was left | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
in a minimally conscious state Among those who attended | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
the funeral was the judge who allowed the family | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
to turn off his life support. Four members of a Rochdale | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
grooming gang may now be deported to Pakistan | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
after losing their fight The men were stripped | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
of their British citizenship after being convicted | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
of exploiting teenagers. An immigration tribunal today | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
rejected their appeals, paving the way for their removal | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
from the UK. Two MPs from the North West | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
have been promoted is the new Shadow Chief | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Secretary to the Treasury. And Rebecca Long Bailey, | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
the MP for Salford and Eccles, has been promoted | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
to Shadow Business Secretary. The changes came following Shadow | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
Cabinet resignations over Brexit. A disabled woman from Warrington, | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
who claims she was prevented from boarding a bus on her mobility | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
scooter, says the experience has left her feeling | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
like a second-class citizen. The bus company | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
says mobility scooters have to be individually assessed | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
to see if they can fit on a bus. Samantha Jones prides herself | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
on her independence. She's just got a mobility | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
scooter to get around. But after being stopped | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
from boarding a bus on it, she says her confidence and mobility | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
have been crushed. It is the first time I've ever seen | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
anyone being refused on a bus. I felt downgraded | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
and just not worthy Samantha picked up her | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
scooter from Warrington They tried to board a bus to get | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
home but say the bus driver said because it would affect | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
the vehicle's centre of gravity. I had to transfer between my | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
mobility scooter and my wheelchair and I felt everyone was watching me, | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
which I'm sure they were. I just feel like my | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
dignity has been lost. Samantha was allowed to bring | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
the scooter on board with her wheelchair - taking up, | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
she says, even more space. She tweeted her anger | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
at her experience. There was no need for it | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
because the mobility scooter went on anyway, | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
so why could I not stay in it? I was more worried | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
about Sam's dignity. and you could see it on | :06:19. | :06:19. | |
her face at the time. It felt like her independence | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
was just taken away. The bus company, Network Warrington, | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
says it's investigating Samantha's complaint and trying to track down | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
the driver to talk to him. Samantha hopes her experience | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
will raise awareness of the difficulties | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
wheelchair users face and change attitudes | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
on and off public transport. The Isle of Man could introduce | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
DNA testing of dogs to catch people | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
who don't pick up their pet's mess. The Manx government will consult | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
the public on new measures to tackle the problem, | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
as Amy Mulhearn reports. This could be all that's needed | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
to catch Ruby's owners if they don't | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
pick up what Ruby leaves behind. It's an idea that's being considered | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
by the Manx government We have all been there and trodden | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
in it and gone back home and it's in the carpet | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
and one thing and another. It just seems to press a nerve | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
amongst the Manx public. Proposed changes to the island's | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
dog laws mean microchipping is set to become compulsory | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
and licences will be abolished. But there's an idea | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
to take this one step further You can track back | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
from a DNA profile, dog poo on the pavement | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
to the individual dog Profiling a dog would | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
cost around ?30. Easy to do, non-painful | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
and if it is something that does become mandatory, | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
I think it is a real step forward. Dog DNA profiling has | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
been tried elsewhere, like the London Borough | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
of Barking and Dagenham So if the Manx public thinks | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
it's a good idea when it goes to consultation, | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
the island could follow their lead. Some breaking news, relating to the | :08:03. | :08:23. | |
M 53 in the Wirral. It is said to be close overnight following the | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
discovery of a man's wadi and the central reservation between | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
junctions two and three. It was closed earlier this evening. The | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
southbound carriageway was closed, then the North. Both are closed and | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
will remain so overnight. The circumstances leading to his death | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
run clear, but it is believed that a road traffic collision has occurred. | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
A code date from the pelt of a South American wildcat has been seized in | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
the region. Police say it was being illegally offered for sale at a | :08:59. | :08:59. | |
shop. In rugby league, the new Super | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
League season kicked-off tonight, They ground out a tough 6-4 win over | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
Leeds at the Totally Wicked Stadium. as they came back from | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
4-0 down at the break. The only downside was a head injury | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
to fullback Jonny Lomax. So cold, in fact, that Robin Cooper | :09:14. | :09:25. | |
sent us these pictures of hair ice, which he says he saw | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
at Coniston in Cumbria. It forms where a certain fungus | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
is growing on rotting wood, so let's get a full | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
forecast with Dianne. and nothing changes as we go | :09:35. | :09:47. | |
through the next couple of days. We've still got the air coming | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
towards us from the continent. yes, cold air all the way | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
through the weekend. Slightly less cold | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
as we go into Monday. Over the last couple of days, | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
it has been relatively quiet. But as you go through Friday | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
night and into Saturday, we've got this little feature | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
that comes towards us, it might bring some snow as far | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
as the eastern side of England, up the Pennines, and we might get | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
a light covering in places. There's a chance | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
of a light covering tonight but, realistically, that's only | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
over the highest level routes, maybe down | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
into the Peak District. It wouldn't be unusual to see | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
a little bit of snow this time of year under | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
these conditions. So nothing to get excited about, | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
and the temperatures are really about because I think | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
for most towns and cities, and rurally quite a few | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
degrees colder than that. You've got more cloud cover | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
than you'd like, really. This time of year, you need | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
a bit of sunshine - You may see a wintry | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
shower from time to time. West is best, in particular | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
in parts of Cumbria. sleet and snow. The outlook, Sunday | :10:45. | :11:07. | |
will turn a bit less cold again. All the way up seven | :11:08. | :11:08. |
