:01:01. > :01:04.Cornwall had been involved in relationships with two older men
:01:04. > :01:07.she had met on the internet. An inquest heard that Simone Grice,
:01:07. > :01:11.from Redruth, had received a text from one of the men on the day she
:01:11. > :01:15.died. It asked her not to contact him again as he was being watched
:01:15. > :01:18.by the police. The hearing was told that it was possible she had used a
:01:18. > :01:23.computer supplied by Cornwall's council as part of a home schooling
:01:23. > :01:28.programme. David George has been at the inquest in Camborne.
:01:28. > :01:32.Before this inquest began, the coroner, Dr Emma Carlisle, one of
:01:32. > :01:38.the press, public and all parties attending the inquest would hear
:01:38. > :01:43.difficult and distressing evidence. Simone Grice was 15 years old and
:01:43. > :01:47.lived in Redruth. Her life was described as troubled. Social
:01:47. > :01:51.workers said she told him she was bullied at school and the estate

:01:58. > :02:03.stopped a long before the death. Barbara Sykes said she had told her
:02:03. > :02:09.she was having sex with two men she met on the internet. The court
:02:09. > :02:15.heard of text messages between Simone and two men, referred to as

:02:33. > :02:36.The court has also heard of a statement from a man called Joseph
:02:36. > :02:42.William Swain, who said he was unable to come to court because of
:02:42. > :02:46.illness. He said he had met Simone on several occasions. He had not

:03:14. > :03:19.to the internet, paid for by Cornwall County Council. A road
:03:19. > :03:27.worker told the coroner that that evening he had seen Simone jumped

:03:47. > :03:49.is seen as a last resort for those who are seriously obese and for
:03:49. > :03:52.whom all other steps have been tried and failed.
:03:52. > :03:54.Weight loss, or bariatric, surgery reduces the size of the stomach by
:03:55. > :03:58.removing some tissue or fitting a gastric band. This divides the
:03:58. > :04:00.stomach in two and reduces the amount of food needed to make the
:04:01. > :04:06.patient feel full. The number of patients receiving the treatment in
:04:06. > :04:11.the South West has gone up from 139 three years ago to 273 last year.
:04:11. > :04:16.That is an increase of almost 100%. The operations are costing the NHS

:06:31. > :06:34.Earlier I spoke to Sally Norton, a consultant surgeon who carries out
:06:34. > :06:40.gastric band and bypass surgery. I started by asking her why more and
:06:40. > :06:44.more people are opting for weight loss surgery.
:06:44. > :06:50.The issue obviously is that more people are becoming seriously
:06:50. > :06:53.overweight. There is a much larger percentage of people who would be
:06:53. > :06:57.eligible for weight-loss surgery. People are now starting to become
:06:57. > :07:02.aware that severe obesity is associated with many other
:07:02. > :07:08.illnesses. There is a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, a higher risk
:07:08. > :07:14.of heart disease, cancer, and all of these things are worrying people
:07:14. > :07:18.and making them consider what are perceived as more drastic options,
:07:18. > :07:21.such as weight-loss surgery. When you see more people are
:07:22. > :07:25.eligible for weight-loss surgery, what is the criteria used to make
:07:25. > :07:30.that decision? It is a little bit of a postcode
:07:30. > :07:33.lottery. There are national guidelines which were implemented
:07:33. > :07:40.by the National Institute of Clinical excellence that suggested
:07:40. > :07:44.people have to be a certain body mass index. In addition, they
:07:44. > :07:48.should have obviously tried reasonable methods of weight loss
:07:48. > :07:55.without surgery. That is fine, but when you look at different regions,
:07:55. > :08:00.the funding for surgery it is actually adopting additional
:08:00. > :08:04.criteria on top of that. For example, in the Bristol area, to be
:08:04. > :08:09.eligible you need to be a certain weight plus have tied to diabetes
:08:09. > :08:13.or other associated illnesses. A few miles down the road you may get
:08:13. > :08:16.funding for surgery without those associated illnesses, so it is a
:08:16. > :08:18.postcode lottery. On that issue of funding, there
:08:19. > :08:23.will be some people who will perhaps not have a lot of sympathy
:08:23. > :08:26.with those who have got themselves into a position where weight-loss
:08:26. > :08:30.surgery is necessary, and we certainly don't believe it should
:08:30. > :08:34.be paid for by the NHS. Should it be paid for by the NHS?
:08:34. > :08:38.Yes, it should, absolutely. Not withstanding the reasons people
:08:38. > :08:43.become his weight in the first place, it is cost effective for us
:08:43. > :08:47.to provide surgery for these people, because it is very difficult to
:08:47. > :08:51.lose that weight when you get to a certain weight through diet and
:08:51. > :08:56.exercise alone, so most people will be completely unable to lose it.
:08:56. > :08:59.The cost of treating associated illnesses will cripple the NHS over
:08:59. > :09:06.the coming years. If we were to operate on these patient instead,
:09:06. > :09:09.we could save over �50 million per year to the NHS, and �1 billion or
:09:09. > :09:13.more to the economy at large as we help these people recover and get
:09:13. > :09:16.back to work. It could be argued a chunk of that
:09:16. > :09:20.money could be diverted into being more proactive, helping people
:09:20. > :09:24.avoiding get into this situation in the first place.
:09:24. > :09:29.Absolutely, I would not say we should not be hard to prevent
:09:29. > :09:32.obesity, and there are areas which need a lot of funding and attention.
:09:32. > :09:38.But we also have to treat the people who are currently overweight

:20:44. > :20:48.conditions caused some farmers a headache, with crops frozen into
:20:48. > :20:50.the ground leading to a shortage of seasonal veg. Now, thanks to an
:20:50. > :20:54.extremely mild winter so far, the opposite has happened, with many
:20:54. > :20:56.vegetables growing more quickly than they normally would. In some
:20:57. > :20:59.cases they are being harvested weeks earlier than usual, as John
:20:59. > :21:05.Danks reports. Purple sprouting broccoli growing
:21:05. > :21:10.at river front farm in South Devon. It is in abundance and weeks
:21:10. > :21:13.earlier than normal. The man who runs the farm said it is the
:21:13. > :21:17.mildest start to a winter he has seen in 25 years.
:21:17. > :21:22.Some early varieties do start in January or December, but this one
:21:22. > :21:26.we would not expect to pick until March. It has come up so fast we
:21:26. > :21:29.have not been able to keep up with it and it has gone to flower. It is
:21:29. > :21:33.running six weeks ahead of simple, really.
:21:33. > :21:39.The picking teams are trying to keep on top of the leaks. These,
:21:39. > :21:43.too, are ready sooner than expected. They have to be harvested now. If
:21:43. > :21:47.they grow any bigger they will not fit in the boxes. Plants seem
:21:47. > :21:54.equally confused. In Cornwall, there are already signs of spring.
:21:54. > :22:01.A lot of flowers are coming out earlier. This one here, that has
:22:02. > :22:09.been flowering since the beginning of November. For the first time,
:22:09. > :22:13.the magnolia, which flowered on New Year's Day, which is the earliest
:22:13. > :22:18.it has ever flowered. Plants have continued to grow. The
:22:18. > :22:21.flowers on this hydrangea remained since they ballooned last year and
:22:21. > :22:29.new flowers are coming through. Spotlight viewers have sent us
:22:29. > :22:33.their pictures of unseasonal floral displays. Yes, that is a strawberry.
:22:33. > :22:37.This as Elia and Helen Tavistock's Garden put on an early show of
:22:37. > :22:42.colour. -- as really a. Before Christmas the flowers
:22:42. > :22:49.started to appear one by one. I watched it daily and then it came
:22:49. > :22:52.out in profusion. It has been amazing, I still have
:22:52. > :22:57.geraniums planted in the summer last year in the garden in flower.
:22:57. > :23:01.What worries me is we will get some sharp frost and all the boards will
:23:01. > :23:04.fall off. I cannot see us getting any
:23:04. > :23:07.penetrating frost. There may be a penetrating frost. There may be a
:23:07. > :23:12.brief frost tonight, but nothing to worry about. It remains unusually
:23:12. > :23:16.mild, and probably the reason for so much spring growth is that we
:23:16. > :23:20.have hardly had any frost at all. We have had the wind and rain, and
:23:21. > :23:27.it was another very windy morning in the South West. These are the
:23:27. > :23:32.strength of the dusts we saw this morning. Not quite as strong as the
:23:32. > :23:35.84 mph we had on Tuesday morning. Thankfully it has been a little
:23:35. > :23:41.quieter. Whilst these strong winds are not good for some of us, for
:23:41. > :23:45.some of us it has been good news. This was earlier today where our
:23:45. > :23:51.Cameron -- cameraman caught people enjoying at the south. Some of
:23:51. > :23:56.these windsurfers were braving some enormous waves. Also the strength
:23:56. > :24:03.of the wind, the gusts of wind this morning have been over 50 mph at
:24:03. > :24:07.times. Enjoying some spectacular conditions. Also the sunshine, and
:24:07. > :24:12.we have had some sunshine coming out, as well. Let's look at the
:24:12. > :24:16.detail for the next 24 hours. There is a Vale of cloud covering the
:24:16. > :24:20.South West. A lot of that is high level that will not stop the
:24:20. > :24:26.temperatures falling into single figures. The area of high pressure
:24:26. > :24:32.to the south will get closer, and those cold north-west winds will
:24:32. > :24:37.slowly drop overnight tonight. Much quieter tonight for all of us.
:24:37. > :24:42.Tomorrow, are warm weather front will come in, bringing more cloud
:24:42. > :24:46.with a potential for light rain. Into the weekend, we have that high
:24:46. > :24:51.pressure a little closer, so what will be more settled. Not
:24:51. > :24:55.necessarily dry or fine. There is the cloud structure in more detail.
:24:55. > :25:00.There is a small chance of one or two light showers, but the
:25:00. > :25:04.overnight forecast is a dry and cold one. Temperatures already
:25:04. > :25:08.close to single figures and continuing to drop to as low as
:25:08. > :25:12.three or four Celsius, particularly across eastern parts of Devon into
:25:12. > :25:19.Somerset and Dorset. The risk, perhaps, briefly of a touch of
:25:19. > :25:22.frost. A cold start tomorrow, which means once the cloud comes over the
:25:22. > :25:30.temperature also -- temperatures will struggle to get high you have,
:25:30. > :25:36.a late maximum of ten Celsius. Temperatures up to eight or nine
:25:36. > :25:44.Celsius by the end of the afternoon. For the Isles of Scilly, the milder
:25:44. > :25:54.oxygen, cloudy -- the milder air, cloudy with some drizzle. At the
:25:54. > :26:03.
:26:03. > :26:13.To model it will still be very choppy, 5-six feet on the north
:26:13. > :26:21.coast, and the coastal waters In the outlook, including the
:26:21. > :26:25.weekend, on Saturday after some overnight patchy rain, a for a time
:26:25. > :26:30.it will brighten up. Sunday is rather more cloudy with a risk of
:26:30. > :26:33.further outbreaks of rain or drizzle. Emily rain clearing and
:26:33. > :26:43.perhaps brighter in the afternoon. All will while it remains
:26:43. > :26:54.
:26:54. > :26:59.relatively mild, we should be frost We have had some e-mails on surgery.
:26:59. > :27:03.One viewer says, Barry hat-trick surgery is not an easier choice. It
:27:03. > :27:07.is cheaper to do that than let people rely on services once they
:27:07. > :27:13.are obese. Another viewer says, I had a
:27:13. > :27:17.gastric band finished -- and had a gastric band finished two years ago,
:27:17. > :27:22.and I have never been happier. I would recommend it to anyone.
:27:23. > :27:28.Another viewer is angry as her son has been declined an operation to
:27:28. > :27:33.help them walked properly, as she suffers from cerebral palsy.
