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

weekend, probably the worst with clouded outbreaks of rain and great
