The news here in the West tonight and first, a new service has been | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
launched in Somerset to reduce hospital admissions and relieve | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
the pressure on accident and emergency departments. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
The scheme involves GPs responding to some 999 calls. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
It's one of the first places in the country to try out the idea | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
and it's led to 80% of those patients being treated at home. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
The GP 999 is online and we are available for any jobs. | :00:30. | :00:48. | |
This is one of two first responders running at the weekend | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
But they're only sent out to selected emergencies. | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
People with more complicated problems such as mental health | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
problems," life problems all medical conditions that involve ongoing | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
health problems. It's not long before such | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
a call comes through. An elderly woman in | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
a state of confusion. As a GP, he can do more | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
than a paramedic - prescribe drugs and look | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
up medical records. It means he can treat | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
this patient at home. This lady would have been taken to | :01:25. | :01:37. | |
an emergency Department for an assessment by the emergency doctors | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
there, which would have been distressing for her and might have | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
made her confusion worse and then she possibly would have been | :01:46. | :01:46. | |
admitted from there. And in two months, 80% | :01:47. | :01:47. | |
of those seen by the service It has improved patient care, good | :01:48. | :01:59. | |

hospital beds for other patients. Leaving GP 999 free | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
to respond to another call. Police are investigating | :02:06. | :02:17. | |
the death of a woman Police believe she may have | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
been hit by a vehicle - they're trying to trace it | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
and want to hear from witnesses. Officers were called to the area | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
an hour previously after reports of a woman walking in the road, | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
but they couldn't find her. A vigil was held in Stroud last | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
night for an army gunner Family and friends of 24-year-old | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Jack Mitchell gathered at the baptist church | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
until the early hours. He was based at Larkhill | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
in Wiltshire and died following an alleged fight | :02:46. | :02:48. | |

of England this weekend for a world first | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
drone-racing competition. For the first time, enthusiasts | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
were flying autonomous drones controlled by software, | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
not manually from the ground. The challenge was to build machines | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
and systems that work well And finally, Bristol has | :03:09. | :03:10. | |

shrimps, would you believe! The BBC's Laura Rawlings | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
has been exploring, braving the tight spaces | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
for Inside Out West. It is well. I just have not got to | :03:33. | :03:51. | |
feel terrified of this very closed space. I can touch every single bit | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
around me. I know that I couldn't make it out if I wanted to, Kizzire | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
don't know the direction. And you can follow Laura's journey | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
down under on Inside Out West, Time for a weather check now | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
with Jennifer Bartram. Quite a cloudy night to come up with | :04:06. | :04:17. | |
the few showers for a time. Gradually as we head through the | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
night, the showers will fade away. Quite a breeze blowing from the east | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
and temperatures overnight down to three degrees. Tomorrow morning we | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
should see plenty of dry and fine weather but it will be windy. That | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
easterly wind blowing throughout the day, temperatures of ten or 11 | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
degrees but with the wind it will feel cold. The rest of the week we | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
stay fairly mild with temperatures in double figures. Plenty of bright | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
spells. The wind dying down by the end of the week. We are back | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
tomorrow morning. Thank you for watching. Good night. | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
I'm sure most of us are glad to see the back of this weekend. It's been | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
cold, bleak and at times wintry. It provided some beautiful weather | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Watchers photos, like Sheffield earlier today. I suspect some of the | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
lying snow will be blown around by strong winds starting to develop. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
The odd spot of drizzle into the far north-east. The wind strengthening | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
here. Already signs of something a little bit miles, temperatures | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
climbing up. | :05:38. | :05:39. |
