:00:12. > :00:14.Good evening. for the news where you are.
:00:15. > :00:16.A coroner's ruled that neglect and gross failures in care
:00:17. > :00:19.contributed to the death of a teenager from meningitis.
:00:20. > :00:21.Izzy Gentry, who was 16, died last May at the BRI.
:00:22. > :00:24.She'd gone to hospital two days previously but had been discharged.
:00:25. > :00:31.Our health correspondent Matthew Hill reports.
:00:32. > :00:34.This grief is not something you get over or move on from.
:00:35. > :00:44.Today's conclusion that Izzy's death could have been prevented was both
:00:45. > :00:48.welcome and distressing to her parents.
:00:49. > :00:50.Izzy was taken by ambulance to the BRI emergency department
:00:51. > :00:55.A paramedic suspected she had meningitis as she was vomiting,
:00:56. > :00:58.had neck pains, dizziness, was lethargic and had
:00:59. > :01:04.But by 5am, she had been discharged after being told
:01:05. > :01:09.But her symptoms got worse and she later died
:01:10. > :01:16.The coroner said the junior doctor who discharged Isabel did not take
:01:17. > :01:24.She said his diagnosis of gastroenteritis was inaccurate
:01:25. > :01:27.and his decision was wrong - he should have reached a different
:01:28. > :01:33.diagnosis of sepsis or severe inflammatory response syndrdome,
:01:34. > :01:35.diagnosis of sepsis or severe inflammatory response syndrome,
:01:36. > :01:38.and that he should have referred her case up to a registrar.
:01:39. > :01:40.Yesterday the hearing was adjourned because Izzy's family were so upset
:01:41. > :01:44.about evidence they heard from an expert witness.
:01:45. > :01:47.A paediatrician said if she'd been admitted to her unit
:01:48. > :01:49.she would have been given antibiotics, which would
:01:50. > :01:53.Whilst we acknowledge that the hospital have recognised
:01:54. > :01:56.that they made serious communication errors, their initial
:01:57. > :02:00.approach seemed to be damage limitation rather than saying,
:02:01. > :02:08.a 16-year-old has died in our care, we must learn and improve.
:02:09. > :02:11.The hospital will now revise the way they train junior doctors
:02:12. > :02:17.Izzy's death was the catalyst for a study of sixth-formers to find
:02:18. > :02:18.out if it's worthwhile vaccinating teenagers
:02:19. > :02:30.We've now got to do the lab work and look to see if giving
:02:31. > :02:34.them the vaccine drove down the number of bacteria
:02:35. > :02:39.Izzy's very sad case was very much the catalyst that got us on to doing
:02:40. > :02:43.this study and got the various people involved on board,
:02:44. > :02:47.the funders, different agencies, the different health workers,
:02:48. > :02:52.Her friends have given their support throughout.
:02:53. > :02:55.There is now more pressure to reconsider if they, too,
:02:56. > :02:57.should be protected from meningitis B in the same way
:02:58. > :03:01.Police have arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion
:03:02. > :03:06.It follows the death of 25-year-old Jordan Taylor,
:03:07. > :03:09.who was stabbed in the early hours of Sunday morning and died
:03:10. > :03:14.Earlier today we learnt that police had also arrested a 24-year-old man
:03:15. > :03:18.but he's been forensically eliminated from their investigation.
:03:19. > :03:21.A mother whose three-year-old son was killed by a two-tonne trailer
:03:22. > :03:24.has stepped up her campaign for better enforcement
:03:25. > :03:31.Freddie Hussey died three years ago after the runaway trailer trapped
:03:32. > :03:38.His mother Donna has called for more rigorous checks
:03:39. > :03:42.A man's been jailed for 14 months after a high-speed police
:03:43. > :03:47.Helicopter footage shows his car racing round blind corners, hitting
:03:48. > :03:54.Clive Hill from Radstock had failed to stop for police in November.
:03:55. > :04:00.He admitted a number of offences including dangerous driving.
:04:01. > :04:04.There was disappointment for lots of West Country racing fans today,
:04:05. > :04:07.as one of the favourites of the big race at Cheltenham fell
:04:08. > :04:12.It was Gold Cup Day, of course, and there were big hopes for both
:04:13. > :04:28.The Irish, irrepressible at Cheltenham. Could they now turned
:04:29. > :04:37.the gold cup green? The money flowed in the direction of the Ruby Walsh,
:04:38. > :04:42.who won four races yesterday. Most experienced horse in the race and
:04:43. > :04:47.he's going to run home. But hopes rested with Cue Card and Native
:04:48. > :04:53.River. Could those give the trainer a piece of history? Come on, Cue
:04:54. > :04:58.Card, my son! The Lizzie Kelly, the first woman in the gold cup for 33
:04:59. > :05:07.years, the dream lasted just two fences. Cue Card's challenge ended
:05:08. > :05:21.three fences from home, just as it did last year... Another Irish horse
:05:22. > :05:26.raced to the line. A Gloucestershire trainer jockey sneaking in ahead of
:05:27. > :05:32.Native River. With the build-up we thought we would come and win but we
:05:33. > :05:36.haven't. This is a relief for me. Everyone has got up and is fine, so
:05:37. > :05:39.we take all the positives. A place amongst the greats and another great
:05:40. > :05:50.day for the Irish. Bristol City have tonight moved out
:05:51. > :05:53.of the relegation zone with a 4-0 Lee Tomlin put City
:05:54. > :06:00.ahead before striker Tammy Abraham made it
:06:01. > :06:02.2-0 before half time. Aiden Flint added a third
:06:03. > :06:05.in the second half and David Cotterill's late penalty
:06:06. > :06:10.sealed the win. The West's women's rugby
:06:11. > :06:12.players have helped England secure their title
:06:13. > :06:14.as Six Nations Champions, with their first
:06:15. > :06:17.Grand Slam Since 2012. Five local players
:06:18. > :06:19.started on the pitch with Bristol's Amy Wilson-Hardy
:06:20. > :06:21.getting them off to a winning start. The visitors led throughout
:06:22. > :06:33.the match in Ireland with England That's where I must wish you a very
:06:34. > :06:39.good night and a good weekend. Here is Ian with a look at the forecast.
:06:40. > :06:46.A fairly breezy or windy story through much of the weekend with a
:06:47. > :06:50.lot of cloud around, but many districts staying dry or largely so.
:06:51. > :06:54.Patchy rain about, more particularly so on Saturday, with most of that
:06:55. > :07:00.getting soaked up over higher ground out towards the west of us. Some
:07:01. > :07:04.patchy outbreaks of rain tonight across parts of Exmoor and some of
:07:05. > :07:08.that through the Bristol Channel. Further eastwards, a largely dry
:07:09. > :07:14.picture with temperatures at eight or nine, so comparatively mild, but
:07:15. > :07:17.staying fairly windy. Heading into Saturday, you will see the signal
:07:18. > :07:21.for periods of occasionally like rain spreading in from the West.
:07:22. > :07:24.Some of that will be heavy over Exmoor but temperatures will be
:07:25. > :07:26.milder compared to Friday despite the fact it's rather breezy. We
:07:27. > :07:31.should still get between 11 it is rather breezy. Now for the
:07:32. > :07:41.national outlook. It was quite a wet day across many
:07:42. > :07:49.northern and western parts of the UK. This was the view in Lancashire
:07:50. > :07:53.not so long ago. For the weekend we are looking to see further rain, all
:07:54. > :07:58.coming from the west, so the further east you are, it should be drier. It
:07:59. > :08:02.will be quite a windy weekend for all parts. The radar from earlier
:08:03. > :08:06.today showing quite a bit of rain across the North and west. The only
:08:07. > :08:11.rain across the East has been light and patchy, but heavy bursts further
:08:12. > :08:16.west. The satellite sequence shows cloud over the UK at the moment.
:08:17. > :08:21.Plenty more cloud over the Atlantic, and it's heading our way, most of it
:08:22. > :08:26.rain bearing. Tomorrow night, still wet for most areas. Snow over the
:08:27. > :08:30.hills of Scotland, not much rain in the east, but still some. With the
:08:31. > :08:34.crowd and breeze, temperatures kept up at eight or nine foremost, but
:08:35. > :08:36.northern Scotland will be cold enough for icy patches in the far
:08:37. > :08:38.north.
