Through Sunday and inch or two inches of rain, gales are possible

:00:00.:00:22.

There's been a dramatic increase in the amount hospitals

:00:23.:00:25.

in the South are spending on "super large" beds, wheelch`irs and

:00:26.:00:27.

Figures obtained by the BBC show that costs have

:00:28.:00:32.

risen rapidly at some hospitals ` a symptom of the growing obdsity

:00:33.:00:37.

problem which affects one in four of the population.

:00:38.:00:39.

In Southampton, spending on bariatric equiplent

:00:40.:00:44.

increased from just over ?30,00 to nearly ?75,000 in a year.

:00:45.:00:46.

That included a special bed to take patients weighing up to 60 stone.

:00:47.:00:54.

And a chair which can hold a 50 stone p`tient.

:00:55.:00:57.

In Berkshire, they've spent a hundred thousand pounds `

:00:58.:00:59.

That included buying a bariatric simulation suit `

:01:00.:01:15.

to help nurses learn how to move and treat heavy people.

:01:16.:01:17.

Other hospitals have bought hoists, reinforced toilets,

:01:18.:01:19.

and mattresses that 'hover' to help move patients after surgery.

:01:20.:01:21.

Although costs have gone up, treating very obese patients

:01:22.:01:24.

effectively can lead to long term savings for the NHS.

:01:25.:01:26.

Our Health Correspondent, D`vid Fenton, has this exclusive report.

:01:27.:01:36.

Tracy is having a gastric bxpass having tried to lose weight for

:01:37.:01:43.

years. It has not worked and she now has type two diabetes and

:01:44.:01:51.

depression. I can walk my dogs and get ly health

:01:52.:02:04.

back, hopefully, of medicathon. `` off.

:02:05.:02:09.

One in four Mac people are now morbidly obese. Hospitals are having

:02:10.:02:12.

to buy and rent specialist equipment, beds, wheelchairs,

:02:13.:02:18.

scales. Patients are a lot heavier. We

:02:19.:02:25.

generally operate on patients with about 170 kilos of weight. So the

:02:26.:02:35.

equipment does need to be dhfferent. In surgery, special mats th`t float

:02:36.:02:42.

are now being used to lift heavy patient on and off the oper`ting

:02:43.:02:47.

tables. And simulation suits like this one teaching nurses how to

:02:48.:02:54.

handle the obese. More people are having surgery to lose weight but

:02:55.:02:58.

the problem is being felt in more parts of our hospitals.

:02:59.:03:04.

We have noticed in the last few years, more mothers who are

:03:05.:03:10.

presenting, overweight or obese and it is causing a considerabld problem

:03:11.:03:14.

for us. Not only because thdy require more care during prdgnancy,

:03:15.:03:18.

but they need specialist eqtipment to be cared for properly.

:03:19.:03:22.

Specialist equipment like this does not come cheap. This hospit`l spent

:03:23.:03:28.

?60,000 every year on obesity equipment, and it is not alone.

:03:29.:03:34.

David, we've just seen people being treated for obesity problems

:03:35.:03:39.

Lots of obese patients coming to hospital for other things. Heavy

:03:40.:03:53.

mothers having babies who nded to be looked after. People with joint and

:03:54.:03:58.

heart problems. But one of the biggest issues is people with type

:03:59.:04:06.

two diabetes. Something likd one in seven hospital beds are occtpied by

:04:07.:04:13.

people with diabetes. At the moment the NHS is spdnding

:04:14.:04:18.

about ?10 billion of its budget treating diabetes. Lots of this

:04:19.:04:23.

money goes to treating complications of diabetes. If there is anx

:04:24.:04:28.

opportunity that we can use part of this money to treat obesity, and by

:04:29.:04:34.

so doing, prevent people from going on to develop type two diabdtes it

:04:35.:04:41.

will be money well spent. That is prevention being talked

:04:42.:04:45.

about. But this is a serious problem with some people going way beyond

:04:46.:04:49.

that. Yes. One surgeon told me th`t when

:04:50.:04:53.

you reach a certain weight, the options are limited. We havd spoken

:04:54.:05:00.

just now about the cost to the NHS in monetary terms. But therd is a

:05:01.:05:07.

cost in time and effort. It takes more nurses to move a 30 stone man

:05:08.:05:13.

than a 13 stone man. Hospit`ls need to accommodate these patients

:05:14.:05:16.

though. What did you make of the eqtipment

:05:17.:05:19.

you had seen today? It is quite eye opening. Thd

:05:20.:05:29.

wheelchairs are so wide that they can barely get down the corridors.

:05:30.:05:34.

But this is the future and hospitals will just need to accommodate them.

:05:35.:05:37.

Thank you very much. Elizabeth Dixon was just eldven

:05:38.:05:42.

months old when she died. Her parents have spent

:05:43.:05:44.

the last 13 years, trying to get Elizabeth was born prematurdly and

:05:45.:05:56.

spent much of her short lifd in hospital. She died shortly before

:05:57.:06:03.

her first birthday, when a newly qualified nurse looking aftdr her at

:06:04.:06:06.

home failed to clear her brdathing tubes.

:06:07.:06:12.

We had assurances that all the nurses would be fully qualified

:06:13.:06:18.

trained, paediatric nurses will stop it became apparent they werd not.

:06:19.:06:23.

They also believe that mist`kes made at those hospitals played a part in

:06:24.:06:28.

Elizabeth's decline. For ovdr a decade they have fought for answers

:06:29.:06:31.

and their hopes were raised last week when the head of the C`re

:06:32.:06:36.

Quality Commission said it would establish an independent

:06:37.:06:39.

investigation. They have not had resolution, they

:06:40.:06:44.

feel nobody has listened to them, we will take some action to work with

:06:45.:06:49.

NHS England, to see if they can use their powers to carry out a more

:06:50.:06:52.

historic investigation and get some resolutions of the individu`ls.

:06:53.:06:59.

But just a couple days later the hopes of the couple will be `` have

:07:00.:07:08.

been dashed, the NHS will not be involved in the Care Qualitx

:07:09.:07:10.

Commission will carry out the investigation on its own. They say

:07:11.:07:15.

this is not good enough, thd investigatory body does not have the

:07:16.:07:18.

power of reminder to probe `s deep as they would like. `` power, or

:07:19.:07:43.

remit. In a statement, NHS England said:

:07:44.:07:52.

But those words are of little comfort to the couple, they have no

:07:53.:07:54.

faith in what is being offered. Residents, ramblers, and local

:07:55.:08:00.

businesses are angry that a decision to repair part of the Totland Sea

:08:01.:08:04.

Wall, on the Isle of Wight, has still not been made ` nearlx two

:08:05.:08:08.

years on from when it was d`maged. Traders are saying it's bad

:08:09.:08:14.

for business and putting closed.

:08:15.:08:19.

trade after the coastal path was They take a different route. We have

:08:20.:08:45.

lost trade. It has been a lot quieter, xes.

:08:46.:08:52.

It is not just businesses who are affected, but holiday`makers must

:08:53.:08:55.

travel and extra mile to enjoy a stroll.

:08:56.:09:00.

We are regular visitors who enjoyed walking along, now we cannot. They

:09:01.:09:05.

keep promising a fix, but it goes on and on.

:09:06.:09:10.

If they could build a temporary boardwalk, that would be better than

:09:11.:09:15.

nothing. Obviously if it is shot, nobody can

:09:16.:09:20.

walk. Campaigners have accused thd council

:09:21.:09:27.

not making a decision quickly enough.

:09:28.:09:30.

2.6 million tourists come hdre every year to walk these parts. At the

:09:31.:09:36.

moment they are asking me, what is going on? Now is the time to get

:09:37.:09:42.

this job done. But the council has a limitdd

:09:43.:09:47.

budget. We have taken this option bdcause

:09:48.:09:52.

the original ?2.1 million to repair the entire Sea Wall is out of our

:09:53.:09:59.

reach financially. Either way, a decision is expected

:10:00.:10:02.

in September. The health watchdog has sahd

:10:03.:10:03.

a new breast cancer drug trhalled in Portsmouth will not be routinely

:10:04.:10:04.

available on the NHS in England It can extend patients lives

:10:05.:10:07.

by around six months. But in final guidance published

:10:08.:10:09.

today, the health regulator NICE says it's too expensive

:10:10.:10:12.

for routine use on the NHS. The drug costs around ?90,000

:10:13.:10:14.

per patient per year. The firm that makes it, Roche,

:10:15.:10:16.

says it's already reduced the price The NHS must provide for all the

:10:17.:10:31.

diseases and conditions which we expected to care for. `` we are You

:10:32.:10:43.

need to balance the benefits of a new treatment with what the NHS is

:10:44.:10:44.

expected to pay. An 83 year old dog breeder

:10:45.:10:47.

from Surrey has pleaded not guilty to murdering a mother and d`ughter

:10:48.:10:50.

at his farm in February. John Lowe is accused of killing

:10:51.:10:52.

Christine and Their bodies were found at Keepers Farm Stud near

"A Large seagull sat in a communal hallway;" "The wrong food ddlivered

:11:30.:11:32.

by a Chinese takeaway "; And a "cat out of control."

:11:33.:11:34.

These are just some of the inappropriate phone calls bding made

:11:35.:11:38.

They say they have received an unprecedented increase in demand

:11:39.:11:43.

many unnecessary ` causing what they describe as a "temporary dip"

Jo Kent has been on the trahl of bobbies, moggies,

:11:47.:11:49.

From a young age we are all taught to dial 999 if there is an dmergency

:11:50.:12:01.

stop but when it comes to using the 101 nonemergency number, it seems we

:12:02.:12:09.

are not as well versed. I have never used it.

:12:10.:12:16.

I don't know what that would do It is the busiest time of ydar for

:12:17.:12:21.

the police in Dorset. Coupldd with an increase in calls, there have

:12:22.:12:28.

been delays in answering. The force has apologised and said the problem

:12:29.:12:42.

is down to the sort of calls they receive. I have a list of some of

:12:43.:12:43.

them here. We will find out what locals make of them. A seagtll stuck

:12:44.:12:44.

in your hallway? Are you serious? Give us another

:12:45.:12:46.

one! And out`of`control cat.

:12:47.:12:54.

Really? ! Requesting a lift.

:12:55.:12:59.

No, though, that is just behng stupid!

:13:00.:13:05.

How about the wrong food behng delivered by the Chinese takeaway?

:13:06.:13:10.

It depends, if it is more, xou are happy! But now, do not call the

:13:11.:13:18.

police. The centre only opened recently and

:13:19.:13:23.

still has staff shortages. We have had a large recruitlent

:13:24.:13:27.

campaign. Lots of people cale forward and we are bringing new

:13:28.:13:36.

staff in all the time. People can also contact the police via the

:13:37.:13:38.

website or e`mail, but if you must website or e`mail, but if you must

:13:39.:13:45.

pick up the phone, use 1014 crime that already happened, and

:13:46.:13:51.

anti`social behaviour. But please, no complaints about seagulls!

:13:52.:14:00.

The weather has been absolutely glorious all week. But now that

:14:01.:14:25.

someone has gone sailing, it is raining again! I blame you!

:14:26.:14:32.

Today we have had no wind, but pretty torrential rain.

:14:33.:14:42.

Nevertheless, it has been a great week for the sailing. 800 boats

:14:43.:14:51.

skippers as young as eight xears old and as old as 92. And over on dry

:14:52.:14:58.

land, a big week on the high Street. A chance for local businessds to

:14:59.:15:03.

flourish. Last night, we spdnt Sarah Farmer `` sent, out and abott to

:15:04.:15:13.

discover the food, and the loney, on offer during the week.

:15:14.:15:20.

Mixing up a cocktail, dark `nd stormy. What kind of shift do you

:15:21.:15:26.

do? For an event like this? In the

:15:27.:15:32.

region of 15 hours a day. Sometimes longer.

:15:33.:15:37.

Over the course of the regards bar staff will mix over 8000 of

:15:38.:15:51.

cocktails. `` Regatta. How do the authorities keep revellers hn check?

:15:52.:15:52.

This is a long area to patrol. This is a long area to patrol.

:15:53.:16:01.

What counterparts does alcohol play in your policing? `` what khnd of

:16:02.:16:05.

part. It is the big factor. You don't tend

:16:06.:16:11.

to have sober people assaulting each other. But this is a family event,

:16:12.:16:14.

as you can see. Later on, it can as you can see. Later on, it can

:16:15.:16:20.

become more and more about the drink. The families disappe`r and it

:16:21.:16:27.

is just the hardened drinkers. It is 9pm now and still quite a

:16:28.:16:32.

mellow feel. When will things take a turn?

:16:33.:16:43.

10:30pm, 11:30pm. More officers are due to be drafted

:16:44.:16:49.

in for the fireworks spectacular. It is about the balance. Let people

:16:50.:16:54.

have their fun. We're not hdre to ruin people's fun. So long `s they

:16:55.:16:59.

behave themselves, really. I will let you get back to work We

:17:00.:17:03.

have seen both sides of the economy this week. Yes, the alcohol flows

:17:04.:17:10.

freely. But generally there has been no trouble with both partygoers and

:17:11.:17:16.

workers in full spirits. On the water, a busy week, `nd

:17:17.:17:21.

sailing concludes tomorrow. We can talk to a skipper who has bden out

:17:22.:17:25.

there this week. Nicola Henderson. Tell us about your week.

:17:26.:17:31.

It has been great. I have bden sailing in the cruising a dhvision

:17:32.:17:37.

with ten novices sales, all woman. `` sailors.

:17:38.:17:44.

What is it like taking out novices, what are the challenges?

:17:45.:17:51.

It is rewarding. It can be something as simple as moving around the boat

:17:52.:17:55.

that is very difficult. I nded ten pairs of eyes for every single crew

:17:56.:18:00.

member on board. In terms of getting young pdople

:18:01.:18:05.

out, is it working? Definitely. And in all positions.

:18:06.:18:10.

From crewmembers to skippers. There are a lot of skippers, young

:18:11.:18:20.

skippers, there are opportunities and apprentices around.

:18:21.:18:25.

And a trophy for you to lift tomorrow?

:18:26.:18:31.

Fingers crossed. I have tough competition but hopeful it will be a

:18:32.:18:34.

good day and there will be summer wind and I can go out sailing.

:18:35.:18:40.

Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed that you do get your

:18:41.:18:45.

hands on that trophy. Let's move on to football. Brighton and Hove

:18:46.:18:52.

Albion have a new manager, ` big fan base, and big hopes. They are hoping

:18:53.:18:57.

to improve on the recent pl`y`off finishes. Here are their prospects.

:18:58.:19:03.

He was a successful Liverpool centre half and is now hoping to m`ke his

:19:04.:19:16.

mark on the dugout. Sami Hyppia succeeding Oscar Garcia, and hoping

:19:17.:19:25.

to build the season. I need to get into the mind of the

:19:26.:19:29.

players, and we have been working hard to get ideas into their heads.

:19:30.:19:33.

We need to concentrate on what we can control, which is only our own

:19:34.:19:39.

performances. Their top scorer has gone, for 8

:19:40.:19:46.

million to Leicester City. @aron Hughes and Chris O'Grady ard amongst

:19:47.:19:52.

the new arrivals. They start tomorrow against Sheffield

:19:53.:19:55.

Wednesday. We have analysed Sheffield. They are

:19:56.:20:02.

strong defensively. We think that offensively we can hurt thel.

:20:03.:20:08.

They average an attendance of 2 ,000 at home, a fan base that is

:20:09.:20:16.

ambitious to go one step further. I am back undercover, thankfully, it

:20:17.:20:21.

is very wet here tonight. To continue the football theme, Jamie

:20:22.:20:28.

Mackie has linked up with Rdading on a season`long loan from Nottingham

:20:29.:20:32.

Forest. A minor hamstring injury means he will not feature tomorrow.

:20:33.:20:41.

Eddie Howe's Bournemouth ard also on the road at Huddersfield.

:20:42.:20:45.

Callum Wilson could make his debut alongside Junior Stanhslas.

:20:46.:20:50.

Swindon under boss Mark Cooper start at home against Scunthorpe hn league

:20:51.:20:55.

one. In league Two Portsmouth could give a debut to loan signing

:20:56.:20:58.

Paul Robinson as the favourhtes for promotion kick off at Exeter.

:20:59.:21:01.

Oxford and Michael Appleton start at home against Burton.

:21:02.:21:09.

And tonight, good luck to Eastleigh who start life

:21:10.:21:11.

in the Conference tomorrow with an away trip to Nuneaton.

:21:12.:21:14.

And don't forget the BBC is the place for

:21:15.:21:18.

Every game is live on BBC Local radio.

:21:19.:21:21.

The goals are on the Football league Show tomorrow

:21:22.:21:24.

We'll show you the best of the action on Monday nights

:21:25.:21:28.

I am going to bring back Sarah now. All credit to those guys working

:21:29.:21:44.

flat out shifts. And of course I was up in the sky today. But, there were

:21:45.:21:51.

beautiful views, then the wdather turned. Boy, did it turn.

:21:52.:22:00.

Let's look at the satellite picture. That is what this whooping through

:22:01.:22:08.

the region this evening. He`vy downpours to be had. Wet we`ther

:22:09.:22:17.

through the course of this dvening. Temperature is a little cooler in

:22:18.:22:28.

the early hours. Saturday starts on a bright note, sunny spells, some

:22:29.:22:39.

showers may be possible, but most will probably enjoy quite a dry day.

:22:40.:22:46.

Temperatures tomorrow, around 2 . Feeling pleasant, although on the

:22:47.:22:51.

breezy side. It will start to change and we will see this front working

:22:52.:22:57.

its way in during the overnhght period Saturday into Sunday. Wet

:22:58.:23:03.

weather coming from the south`west. Still some uncertainty as to how

:23:04.:23:08.

that will track its way out. But as we work into Sunday, then, the

:23:09.:23:14.

really heavy downpours. Strong and gusty winds as well. A yellow

:23:15.:23:20.

weather warning in place. Hhgh waves with the high tides. But it will

:23:21.:23:26.

clear in the afternoon, a brighter picture for the end of Sund`y. The

:23:27.:23:33.

working week ahead, showers to come. Plenty of events to look forward to.

:23:34.:23:39.

Saturday, shaping up to be fine for the agricultural show. Lookhng

:23:40.:23:43.

largely dry from your livestock and horses on show. But as the weather

:23:44.:23:49.

turns on Sunday, the aptly named umbrella festival takes place.

:23:50.:23:54.

Inside, you will be glad to know, the theatre and Portsmouth. Plenty

:23:55.:23:58.

of events to look forward to. And the football season kicks off

:23:59.:24:12.

tomorrow also. Back to you. Earlier this week we

:24:13.:24:26.

a rare musical clock, once thought to

:24:27.:24:29.

have belonged to Marie Antohnette, which has been restored at

:24:30.:24:34.

Fixing the clock was one thhng though ` identifying the tilepiece's

:24:35.:24:39.

Well, we enlisted the help of our viewers, via social ledia,

:24:40.:24:43.

In a moment, we'll let you know how we got on.

:24:44.:24:47.

But, first, Caroline Richardson can give us the tick`tock.

:24:48.:24:49.

We know plenty about George Pyke's clock but less

:24:50.:24:51.

It was made in 1765 and is one of the earliest forms

:24:52.:24:55.

There are eight tunes in total and not all instantly recognisable.

:24:56.:24:59.

Fortunately a German student at the college could identify one of them.

:25:00.:25:05.

featured we did some research and found out it was initially tsed in

:25:06.:25:08.

Italy. A very famous Christlas song. Another has been identified

:25:09.:25:16.

as a composition by Haydn but the six other tracks sedm to

:25:17.:25:25.

have fallen from popular usd and experts still need to ptt a name

:25:26.:25:28.

to the melodies Caroline's here now and experts still need to ptt a name

:25:29.:25:34.

to the melodies. Caroline's here now We haven't solved all of thdm

:25:35.:25:38.

but we've had a good stab The one that was already iddntified

:25:39.:25:43.

by the German student in the piece there is tune number

:25:44.:25:49.

four which we can hear again. That's
