Healthcare on the Isle of Wight was formally put into special | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
measures today after a scathing report by the Care Quality | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
I would like to take the opportunity to apologise to patients, and staff | :00:14. | :00:28. | |
and give our commitment to things round. | :00:29. | :00:41. | |
Healthcare on the Isle of Wight was formally put into special | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
measures today after a scathing report by the Care Quality | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
It tells of patients put at risk from faulty electrical equipment | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
and broken beds Ambulance staff were bullied, and an ambulance | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
station left open, with vehicles unlocked and the keys inside. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
The Accident and Emergency Department didn't have enough nurses | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
And the leadership from board level down failed staff and patients. | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
The Trust has apologised and promised to make things right. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Our Health Correspondent David Fenton has spent the day | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
on the Island finding out how things went so wrong. | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
Stuart Clements has a serious heart and lung problem and finds | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Even light gardening can cause a problem. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
I continually have this breathlessness and it limits | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Last year his wife rushed him to A where he spent 13 hours | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
He said the staff were great but he had to throw newspapers over | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
In one sense I was appalled because I felt here were people | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
who were being incredibly kind to me, who seemed to be very | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
efficient and effective and professional in the way | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
they were working, but it was quite clear that the hospital as a whole | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
did not have the capacity to deal with me. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Failings in the island's health care were laid bare in today's report. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Mental health patients were put at risk, leaders failed to act | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
It is far too prevalent in the NHS, the bullying of staff. | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
What we don't hear about is how difficult the staff find it to work | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
This was particularly true in the Isle of Wight. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
These problems will not be easily solved but solved, | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
they must be for the sake of patients and everyone | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
The trust's Chief Executive stood down last month, | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
An improvement director - brought in by the regulator - | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
Dr Mark Pugh has been an important part of the leadership team | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
For the last week and a half he's been the Acting Chief Executive. | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
We asked him about the report's findings and how patients | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Absolutely I can see why patients would be concerned by that | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
I can point to a slew of safety outcomes for this organisation | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
which shows that we're not putting patients across the board | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
I live and work on the Isle of Wight, my family use this trust, | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
they have used it in the past and they will continue | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
But what we have clearly got wrong as the safety assurance mechanisms | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
and safety reporting across the organisation | :03:44. | :03:44. | |
and our background planning to ensure safety even when things | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
That is what we will be putting right. | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
Is there a bullying in the Ambulance Service? | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Yes, that has been an issue for that service, it has felt itself under | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
pressure to meet national targets and to work against a background | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
It's part of a larger investigation which the trust has undertaken | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
and we believe that is no move to a better place. | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
The only way is up from here, there is no doubt about that. | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Being in special measures, although it has issues around | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
reputation and make make it more difficult for us to recruit staff, | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
it does also come with additional support in the ready | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
have an improvement director on site who has made a helpful | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
impact already in the time she has been here. | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
And of course there will be the relentless scrutiny | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
of the organisation to make absolutely sure that | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
to apologise to patients, population and staff | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
Absolutely, and I'd like again to take this opportunity | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
to apologise to patients, population and staff | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
for our organisation and again absolutely give my commitment | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
We have already started, we know what we need to do | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
and we will get this organisation back into a respectable condition. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
A law student's been sentenced to six years for killing a father | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
of ten on the Isle of Wight with a single punch. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Gary Stacey died when he fell and injured his head after being hit | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
by 21-year-old Ryan Cooper on a night out in Newport. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Winchester Crown Court heard how Cooper had drunk vodka excessively | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
He told police that Gary Stacey had threatened him when he approached | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
But the jury didn't believe him and found him guilty of manslaughter | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
Cooper will serve half of his six year sentence in jail and then be | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
He was a lovely man and wanted to go out and have a good | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
night and it was his last and it wasn't fair. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
I don't think any of us will get over it. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
We will learn to live with it and get on with our lives | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
but there is still a hole in the heart of the family and | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
I think that a poor decision within a couple of seconds can have | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
life-changing consequences, both for Ryan Cooper | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
and obviously more tragically for Gary Stacey's family. | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
What we would ask is that people know their limits and realise that | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
that very short period of terrible decision-making can actually lead | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
A body, thought to be that of a man from Lymington who's been | :06:24. | :06:35. | |
missing since November, has been found. | :06:36. | :06:36. | |
Phillip McCormack's disappearance was described as 'very out | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
A member of the public discovered the body yesterday afternoon | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
in marshland behind Lymington Hospital. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
His death is not being treated as suspicious. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
The joint Thames Valley and Hampshire roads policing unit | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
has seen an increase of more than ten per cent in the number | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
of incidents it's had to deal with in the last two years according | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
That's despite having around 20 per cent fewer officers | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
than when the joint unit was formed in 2012. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
Both forces say they're focused on making sure | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
they have the resources in the right locations to meet demand. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
Nine new free schools for the South have been given the go-ahead | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
One is a school in Portsmouth for children with autism or social | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
But most are in West Sussex where politicians say new housing | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
means there's more demand than ever for school places. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
But they're controversial, with critics claiming it's not | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
the best way to spend money, especially when existing schools say | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
This derelict convent outside Chichester could be the answer to | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
It's being converted into a state-of-the-art new premises by | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
Chichester free school which has been in a temporary building since | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
It will now more than double the number of places on | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
offer for students from reception age two | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
sixth form and be part of the | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
Government's future education agenda. | :08:05. | :08:05. | |
Free schools are funded directly by central Government, not | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
They are run by community or educational groups, | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
charities, businesses or parents, and they | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
don't have to teach the | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
They are more popular with parents, they're more | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
likely to be rated outstanding by Ofsted and in various key stages | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
This free school in Swanage typifies the | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
focus on high-tech teaching and new ones in Reading helps meet a 34% | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
increase in demand for school places in recent years. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
West Sussex County Council has welcomed today's free | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
school management is helping meet the needs of new housing | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
But not everyone thinks free schools are the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
Instead of putting more money into the education system | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
generally to meet that and education system in West Sussex, West Sussex | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
is one of the worst funded education authorities in the country. | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
They are diverting attention, building new | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Chichester free school hopes to be opening here | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
in September next year and all new skills and England and now opening | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
With critics claiming they are an expensive | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
and inefficient way of | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
creating school places and the Government insisting | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
they provide value for money and parental choice, | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
it seems it will be more than just the children drawing lessons from | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
this latest wave of schools across the south. | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
That's all from the South Today news team this evening. | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
We're back tomorrow with bulletins in BBC Breakfast and there's more | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
Here with our regional weather forecast is Alexis Green. | :09:39. | :09:49. | |
One or two clear spells tonight but with the cloud is the guest 's right | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
lane and drizzle. Most places will stay dry and in the countryside | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
temperatures could fall as low as five Celsius. That is in towns and | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
cities. Cloudy tomorrow with more cloud than today but a brighter | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
intervals at times. The breeze would be as strong as today but the cloud | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
will be stubborn to break and it will stay mainly dry with | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
temperatures reaching a high of 12 or 13. Tomorrow night a weather | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
front row move southwards across the region producing some spots of rain | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
here and there and maybe the odd 's moderate to heavy burst through the | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
course of Good Friday. Good Friday is one of the unsettled days of the | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
weekend, probably the worst with clouded outbreaks of rain and great | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
a damp day with drier periods here and there. As we look ahead to the | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
Easter weekend, Good Friday starts on a damp night but on Saturday the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
maybe the odd isolated shower but most users will stay dry and Easter | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Sunday and Monday at the moment are looking mainly dry with some rain | :10:57. | :10:57. | |
later on on Monday. Brighter on Saturday but cloud again | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
on Sunday. Here is Tomasz. Good evening. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
The weather in the run-up to Christmas... Easter! I got ahead of | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
myself there! It isn't looking especially great, nor is it looking | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
all that sunny. It will be changeable, it's been changeable | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
today. You can see cloud streaming out of the north-west of the | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
country. You can see some showers getting into north western parts of | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
the UK, but eastern areas will remain pretty clear tonight, so here | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
we have some frost on the way first thing, ground frost, nothing more, | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
and it will be gone by the time the sun is up. First thing in the | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
morning, some sunshine around across one or two parts of the east here. | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Western areas | :11:56. | :11:56. |
