One of the south-east's biggest hospital trusts has been | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
on the highest possible state of alert since Christmas, | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
meaning patient safety has been compromised every day | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
And there's a warning to patient groups that the Royal Sussex | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Hospital in Brighton is expecting to continue in that | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Our health Correspondent Mark Norman has more. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Another week, another insight into the pressure the NHS is under. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
This trust has been at the heart of the highest state of alert every | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The impact is being felt by patients. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
I was taken to A and I had to sleep in A | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
I was just sitting there and said, any | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
There are four levels of alert, Opel 4 is the highest, | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
The trust told us its staff were working | :01:06. | :01:18. | |
hard to give patients the emergency care they needed and it was making | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
improvements to help with the flow of patients. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
However, the impact on patients is concerning some. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
Some who have been in hospital, as soon | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
as they are ready to go home, or likely to be asked to go home, | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
the support systems in the community, | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
whether it is family or friends or a service | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
that they pay for, provided by the local council, they are | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
At least three other trusts in Kent and Sussex went | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
to the highest level of alert last week. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
All our trusts failed to hit the specific target for A | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
At Durham Valley, they even took to social media to encourage former | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
staff members to come back and cover shifts. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
For our members, they would say they are at the end of their | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Most organisations across the system had been working at high | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
While Brighton is not in the worst performing trust, it is under | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
pressure and is telling patient groups it doesn't expect to come out | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
A Sussex teenager who admitted selling thousands of pounds worth | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
of fake festival tickets has been sentenced to 21 months in a young | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Benjamin Hyland-Ward from Saltdean, left hundreds of people disappointed | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
after taking ?60,000 for tickets that he failed | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
to produce for the Bestival event on the Isle of Wight | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
The 19-year-old had pleaded guilty at Lewes Crown Court. | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
Two members of a drugs gang have been jailed following the discovery | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
of almost ?8 million worth of cannabis in Sittingbourne. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
57-year-old Thomas Cullen from Liverpool was sentenced | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
and 48-year-old Joseph Graham to 6 years. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Kent Police discovered the drugs when they searched an industrial | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Lewes MP Maria Caulfield says she "dreads" the prospect of returning | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
to what Southern Rail calls a "normal timetable". | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
A full service is expected to be restored from Tuesday next week | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
after the train drivers' union ASLEF suspended industrial action. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
It's being claimed that Kent grammar schools are forcing some | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
children to leave halfway through their A-level studies | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
because their Year 12 grades were not considered good enough. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Parents have told us their children have been made to feel | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
like failures, separated from their friends, and given just | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
weeks to find a new place for their final year at | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
There are 32 grammar schools in Kent. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
In the last year, 266 Year 12s, or students in the lower sixth | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
form, left by the end of the academic year. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Invicta Grammar School had the highest number leave, | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Our education correspondent Bryony MacKenzie has more. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Selective education not just from primary to secondary, | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
but in many cases in year 12 as well. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
But for one parent who wanted to remain anonymous, | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
their child didn't reach the required grades at AS-level | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
They claim the policy at Invicta Grammar left them | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
We felt not completing her education with her peers would be detrimental | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
She just needed more support, mainly with revision techniques. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Whether they acted legally or not, their treatment of our daughter, | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
and the harshness of pastoral care we received, was shocking. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
There is no legislation that allows them to remove students on the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
grounds of performance halfway through a course. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Students are asked to sign a home-school agreement at | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
the beginning of the sixth form course, but that actually | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Invicta's sixth form learning agreement states: | :05:18. | :05:31. | |
If a student is allowed to continue despite serious reservations... | :05:32. | :05:44. | |
It's a common policy but not one that works at every school. | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
A lot of them make significant improvements between year 12 | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
and the end of year 13, and I think schools need to have | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
faith in their own students and to push them hard | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
Invicta Girls' Grammar denies the claims and says students | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
are supported and advised about what is best for them. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |

The national weather forecast coming up, but first let's get the picture | :06:23. | :06:31. | |

Lots of sunshine but bitterly cold. Very little changes at the weekend, | :06:34. | :06:48. | |
dry and cold overnight. It will be chilly during the day as well | :06:49. | :06:56. | |

or three Celsius. Wrap up warm and keep the heating on. On Sunday, more | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
of the same. Here is the outlook. feel cooler. Can we keep it going | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
until the start of the new week? I suspect we can. Unconfirmed about -- | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
concerned about the fog around. Here is Helen with the national picture. | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
Good evening. The weather is upon us. The cloud has made all the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
difference this week in | :07:49. | :07:49. |
