:00:21. > :00:23.Good evening. Critics blame Cornwall Council for delays in arranging care
:00:24. > :00:29.packages in the community. We'll hear from one patient caught up in
:00:30. > :00:34.the system. I cannot blame the hospital, the

:00:40. > :00:42.What upset me was that I had the bed and then it was taken away.
:00:43. > :00:44.I'll be putting the concerns raised to the new Chief Executive of

:01:05. > :01:08.Cornwall Council says it is making "as big an effort as possible" to
:01:09. > :01:11.resolve the row over bed blocking in the county's hospitals. At the end
:01:12. > :01:19.of December, the Royal Cornwall Hospital had over 100 beds blocked `
:01:20. > :01:22.twice the national average. It means operations have been postponed

:01:42. > :01:44.Just after New Year, 84`year`old Florence's knee operation at the
:01:45. > :01:49.Royal, all hospital was cancelled at the last minute because there was no
:01:50. > :01:53.bed for her. I was looking forward to going in to get rid of the pain.
:01:54. > :01:57.I cannot blame the hospital, the staff, they were brilliant. They
:01:58. > :02:03.could not have done anything better. What upset me was that I had the bed
:02:04. > :02:07.then it was taken away. In a week before New Year at the
:02:08. > :02:11.Royal, all alone there were more than 100 beds blocked, twice the
:02:12. > :02:16.national average. That is despite a plan to improve the communication
:02:17. > :02:20.system after 14 operations had to be cancelled on one day in October.
:02:21. > :02:24.This has prompted accusations that council was to blame for failure is
:02:25. > :02:31.on providing on word care needed to get people off of the wards,
:02:32. > :02:35.something it has denied. But we were told at continuing lack of
:02:36. > :02:39.coordination and communication by the candle has had a detrimental
:02:40. > :02:47.effect on terror across the country. `` County. Care.
:02:48. > :02:54.Really, that overall planning role is the responsibility of the health

:03:17. > :03:19.Well, Andrew Kerr is the new Chief Executive of Cornwall Council. I
:03:20. > :03:22.asked him what the authority is doing to improve care provision in
:03:23. > :03:23.the community to relieve the pressure on the Royal Cornwall
:03:24. > :03:31.Hospital. The only solution is our ones in
:03:32. > :03:34.which the health service and local authority work very closely together
:03:35. > :03:39.to make sure that both people going into hospital and people coming out
:03:40. > :03:44.of hospital are dealt with in a joined up fashion. That is what
:03:45. > :03:49.we're working to do right now. Cornwall Council has been warned
:03:50. > :03:53.time and again about this problem, yet only last week Cornwall partners
:03:54. > :03:59.in care said a lack of communication and coordination by the candle has

:04:03. > :04:08.Why is the candle not learning lessons quicker and making things
:04:09. > :04:12.better two well, I am only five days into my work on the council.
:04:13. > :04:14.I can say that we are making as big an effort as possible to make sure
:04:15. > :04:20.those communications issues, where they exist, are resolved. Actually,
:04:21. > :04:27.the solution is going to be one where both parties work together and
:04:28. > :04:30.that depends on communication from both sides. What would you say to
:04:31. > :04:34.those currently held up in the system able to leave hospital but
:04:35. > :04:37.cannot because there is not the care provision in the county for them
:04:38. > :04:41.outside of the hospital? And those having operations delayed
:04:42. > :04:46.because they cannot get into hospital. We are trying to resolve
:04:47. > :04:49.this as quickly as possible. This is a very long`term problem, right
:04:50. > :04:54.across the UK, which needs to be resolved nationally and locally.
:04:55. > :04:59.We are one of the 14 council areas in the country trying to resolve it
:05:00. > :05:03.quicker for the people of Cornwall. On a broader point before we
:05:04. > :05:06.finish, what sort of shape you think the council was in at the moment?
:05:07. > :05:13.What are your hopes for it going forward? I think I have inherited a
:05:14. > :05:18.council in quite robust shape. We have managed since the unitary
:05:19. > :05:22.authority began to save ?170 million, and it looks like we are
:05:23. > :05:25.going to have to save a similar sum of money again. However, I think the
:05:26. > :05:33.council was in good shape to do that, we are trying to do things
:05:34. > :05:36.differently, without more locally driven services, and hopefully that
:05:37. > :05:42.will be the agenda and the next few years. Thank you for joining us.

:05:54. > :06:01.his package of care at home meant he spent Christmas in one of the
:06:02. > :06:06.children's wards. It was the week before Christmas when Spotlight
:06:07. > :06:09.featured the story of Alex Dieterle, ten`year`old with cerebral
:06:10. > :06:12.palsy. Alex arrived with a chest infection
:06:13. > :06:16.in September. He quickly got over this but is stuck in hospital ever
:06:17. > :06:20.since because of problems sorting out his home health care. We could
:06:21. > :06:30.not film Alex today because he was not very well. He has a flu type of
:06:31. > :06:34.bug, it is sitting on his chest which is very dangerous for him, and
:06:35. > :06:38.if it turns into a chest infection he has to fight really hard to get
:06:39. > :06:43.rid of it. Children such as Alex can actually
:06:44. > :06:46.die from chest infections, and do frequently. It does feel like he is
:06:47. > :06:52.a sitting duck on the ward at the moment. All the more reason his
:06:53. > :06:56.mother wants Alex to come home. That is taking time.
:06:57. > :07:01.In a statement, NHS Kernow and Cornwall Hospital said they are
:07:02. > :07:05.committed to getting Alex discharged as soon as possible. The statement
:07:06. > :07:09.went on, however, Alex cannot be discharge from hospital until a safe
:07:10. > :07:14.package of care is put in place that meets both his and his mum's needs.

:07:20. > :07:24.For Joe, it is frustrating, as time with Alex is precious.
:07:25. > :07:27.I cannot replace the time he has wasted in here, and I just hope when
:07:28. > :07:30.we finally get home I have longer to spend with him for him to enjoy his
:07:31. > :07:40.life. Police are appealing for witnesses
:07:41. > :07:46.to a fatal crash in Plymouth which closed off a busy road into the city
:07:47. > :07:49.for more than ten hours. A car hit a road sign near Marsh Mills early on
:07:50. > :07:53.Saturday morning. It was being driven by a 25`year`old local man.
:07:54. > :07:56.He was pronounced dead at the scene. The road was sealed off for accident
:07:57. > :07:58.investigation work to be carried out.
:07:59. > :08:02.The recent storms have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of
:08:03. > :08:05.rubbish being washed up on South West beaches. In Dorset around 100
:08:06. > :08:08.volunteers have taken part in a major clear`up of the county's
:08:09. > :08:11.Chesil beach after it was covered in debris including a dead cow. They
:08:12. > :08:18.said they felt compelled to act because the authorities didn't.
:08:19. > :08:22.Hamish Marshall reports. We've striven by strong winds put
:08:23. > :08:27.Portland in the eye of the storm. But even when the weather eased,
:08:28. > :08:35.this was the result. Rubbish that of the sea bed and more of it with
:08:36. > :08:38.every high tide. This woman saw pictures of the
:08:39. > :08:42.rubbish on Jessel Beach and got everything to help hundreds of
:08:43. > :08:46.others clear it on Saturday. Not only does it affect our beautiful
:08:47. > :08:50.area, but the animals, the wildlife, the nature. More rubbish has been
:08:51. > :08:54.washed up in the days that followed and if we left it there would be
:08:55. > :08:59.more and more. It was so important to deal with it immediately. Word of
:09:00. > :09:01.the state of the beach and the clean`up operation spread through
:09:02. > :09:05.the internet. Tom Randall and his twin brother
:09:06. > :09:10.spent the weekend dragging rubbish from the beach. This is not even
:09:11. > :09:14.half of what was brought up. It was hard work to Saturday. I came down
:09:15. > :09:16.your around half past nine, and I left around four o'clock in the
:09:17. > :09:21.afternoon. I came back again on Sunday and it
:09:22. > :09:25.was hard work. It made you feel good inside, it really did.
:09:26. > :09:31.But four days since it was first reported, this head cow has not been
:09:32. > :09:35.moved. There are concerns that local authorities have done little in
:09:36. > :09:41.response. At the very least, a council officer could have been here
:09:42. > :09:45.to coordinate efforts to assist us. One of the volunteers had to
:09:46. > :09:48.instruct and organise which ticket to put their saw that things go to
:09:49. > :09:52.the right place once they are binned. As you see, nothing has been
:09:53. > :09:57.binned, nothing has been moved from the beach, we still have a dead cow
:09:58. > :10:03.here. Dorset waste partnership told us it is not its duty. It said it
:10:04. > :10:05.has been in contact with the landowner, the Crown estate, to
:10:06. > :10:09.offer advice. It says it will work with
:10:10. > :10:12.contractors to clear and dispose of the waste and dead animals as soon
:10:13. > :10:20.as possible, but with every tide the gets bigger.
:10:21. > :10:24.`` the problem gets bigger. As well as a dramatic increase in
:10:25. > :10:27.rubbish, the recent storms have had a profound effect on the South West
:10:28. > :10:30.coastline, with rock formations which have stood in place for
:10:31. > :10:34.possibly thousands of years being swept away. There has also been a
:10:35. > :10:36.big impact on the livelihoods of some people living and working
:10:37. > :10:38.around our coasts as Our Environment Correspondent, Adrian Campbell, has
:10:39. > :10:43.been finding out. The storms over Christmas and New
:10:44. > :10:46.Year brought remarkable scenes to our shores. Coastal communities were
:10:47. > :10:51.under attack from the elements. Several people have lost their
:10:52. > :10:54.lives. Traders were said for the missing 18`year`old photography
:10:55. > :10:59.student Harry Martin after a body was found on Saturday. All around
:11:00. > :11:04.the region, livelihoods have been damaged, including at this each cafe
:11:05. > :11:12.in Cornwall. It was quite devastating to have to clear the
:11:13. > :11:14.place up once, not once, not twice but three times.
:11:15. > :11:19.Physically sick, to be honest. There is nothing I can do, it is totally
:11:20. > :11:23.out of my hands. The Met Office warned us in advance
:11:24. > :11:27.there were exceptionally cold conditions over North America and
:11:28. > :11:31.that was colliding with warmer air in the Atlantic. It brought a series
:11:32. > :11:35.of intense storms directly to the South West. For much of December
:11:36. > :11:40.into the New Year we have had heavy rainfall and flooding. Unusually
:11:41. > :11:45.strong winds came here on the Jetstream, high in the atmosphere.
:11:46. > :11:51.Over the last three or four weeks we have seen Jetstreams over 200 knots,
:11:52. > :11:56.which is unprecedented. There is a lot of energy and it tends to guide

:11:59. > :12:00.the other. Nicky is one of many whose lives have been changed by the
:12:01. > :12:02.storms. It is just the beginning of putting
:12:03. > :12:09.it right. Fingers crossed, in a couple of
:12:10. > :12:13.weeks it doesn't all happen again. Some have questioned whether what we
:12:14. > :12:16.have seen so far this winter can be linked to the possibility of climate
:12:17. > :12:19.change, or whether we have simply experienced a run of highly
:12:20. > :12:22.destructive storms. And you can see the full version of
:12:23. > :12:31.Adrian's report on Inside Out tonight at 7:30pm here on BBC One.
:12:32. > :12:35.Contractors are due to move hundreds of tonnes of sand which has piled up
:12:36. > :12:39.against beach side properties in St Ives. People living at Porthmeor
:12:40. > :12:43.Beach say the sand is around ten feet above its normal level for this
:12:44. > :12:46.time of year. They believe it may have contributed to the flooding of
:12:47. > :12:48.several homes in last weeks extreme weather. David George has this
:12:49. > :12:55.report though. Flats and apartments overlooking
:12:56. > :13:00.Porthmeor Beach near the Tate Gallery have some of the best views
:13:01. > :13:04.in Cornwall, but last week's combination of high tides, low
:13:05. > :13:08.pressure and wind, but the sea crashing through the windows and
:13:09. > :13:10.doors into several homes. It hit bang on and caused an almighty
:13:11. > :13:17.crash. The impact did this. Completely
:13:18. > :13:22.cracked the old wooden frame. We are lucky the whole thing didn't
:13:23. > :13:27.collapse, but the water took about 30 seconds or a minute before it
:13:28. > :13:31.rained back again. Then we were sort of standing here wondering, my God,
:13:32. > :13:35.if that was one we've come are more coming? Sure enough, another wave
:13:36. > :13:38.came, smashed its way through there, right through the back door and
:13:39. > :13:44.completely flooded the whole of number two.
:13:45. > :13:48.It is approaching high water now, but a week ago during the storm the
:13:49. > :13:54.high tide came right up to here. Some residents blame the level of
:13:55. > :13:58.this sand. 18 inches below the balcony now, but it is normally,
:13:59. > :14:03.they say, around ten feet below this level.
:14:04. > :14:06.Residents called on Cornwall Council to take urgent action during the
:14:07. > :14:12.storm as high tides and stronger winds were forecast.
:14:13. > :14:16.This was a 12 foot swell backed by 28 mph winds. The next one was
:14:17. > :14:21.predicted to be 48 mph and a 22 foot swell. We were in trepidation so we
:14:22. > :14:25.moved everything out of the flat upstairs.
:14:26. > :14:28.Council officials said they could not take any action while the storm
:14:29. > :14:32.was still raging. There were two concerns, the first was that we
:14:33. > :14:35.thought the sun was protecting the foundations of the older sea wall
:14:36. > :14:38.and if it had been moved that would have been catastrophic damage to the
:14:39. > :14:41.properties. There is also the real issue of
:14:42. > :14:49.health and safety of the people employed to do that. The storm was
:14:50. > :14:52.prevailing and there was a short period of opportunity to get people
:14:53. > :14:55.onto the beach to do the work. Con mole council says work will begin on
:14:56. > :15:01.removing some of the sand later this week.
:15:02. > :15:03.`` Cornwall Council. Meanwhile, the Environment Agency
:15:04. > :15:06.has warned tonight that more forecast rain could bring further
:15:07. > :15:09.flooding to the Somerset Levels. Water levels on the moorland are
:15:10. > :15:12.falling slightly. But roads remain closed, houses are still waterlogged
:15:13. > :15:18.and one village is still cut off. Here's our Somerset Correspondent,
:15:19. > :15:23.Clinton Rogers. James's family have farmed on the
:15:24. > :15:26.Somerset levels for 150 years. Only three times in living memory has
:15:27. > :15:33.their farm flooded. And all since 2000. Taking the BBC to a high fan
:15:34. > :15:41.Page point on the Somerset levels, he explained what he thought was the
:15:42. > :15:45.reason. That is the town, and this is where they merge.
:15:46. > :15:49.It is like a motorway, when you have a motorway that goes down to one
:15:50. > :15:52.lane, you get a pile`up. This is where you have all the traffic
:15:53. > :15:56.flowing out over either side, because it cannot get away. That, he
:15:57. > :16:02.says, is simply because they have stopped dredging the rivers.
:16:03. > :16:06.Clearing them of a build`up of silt which really comes in with the tide
:16:07. > :16:11.of the Severn estuary. If you leave it, the rivers clog up and hold less
:16:12. > :16:17.water. The result, say many, is this. The Environment Agency is the
:16:18. > :16:22.organisation responsible for the rivers. When I cornered Lord Smith,
:16:23. > :16:26.then chairman of the agency come on a visit to Somerset more than one
:16:27. > :16:34.year ago, he did commit to dredging. Eventually. What we need to do is
:16:35. > :16:37.find out here were the best places to dredge going to be, then get on
:16:38. > :16:47.and do it. When? I as soon as possible.
:16:48. > :16:50.Fine? I would be very disappointed if we were not seen some improvement
:16:51. > :16:55.happening in the course of the next six months.
:16:56. > :17:00.But all that has happened since then is a pilot project on small sections
:17:01. > :17:04.of the rivers. The agency has agreed that further dredging would ease
:17:05. > :17:08.flooding. But there is no money for it.
:17:09. > :17:14.They reckon that to dredge just ten kilometres would cost ?4 million.
:17:15. > :17:17.And in spite of appeals for help to organisations and local companies,
:17:18. > :17:24.so far they have only raised 1 million. No money, no dredging. We

:19:29. > :19:32.to cover the extra cost until April. The local authority added that the
:19:33. > :19:36.policy around housing benefit is set by Central Government and
:19:37. > :19:39.administered by local authorities. Cornwall Council's benefits team has
:19:40. > :19:43.been in contact with the family to offer advice and assistance. We are
:19:44. > :19:46.now working to provide longer term solutions.
:19:47. > :19:53.Whether that will be enough for Dawn and Adam remains to be seen. They
:19:54. > :19:59.believe every case should be looked at individually.
:20:00. > :20:06.Time now for the sport, and Chris Hargreaves takes pole position
:20:07. > :20:11.tonight after his first win as a manager. He does indeed. Hello,
:20:12. > :20:14.everybody. The 41`year`old steered his new
:20:15. > :20:18.club, Torquay United, to a vital three points at AFC Wimbledon to
:20:19. > :20:21.give them fresh impetus in their bid to stave off relegation from the
:20:22. > :20:24.Football League. I'm afraid that was the only success from the weekend,
:20:25. > :20:31.as told by the managers and BBC Radio Devon.
:20:32. > :20:39.The usual football statements come in, half a job, not finished yet,
:20:40. > :20:42.but the general mentality was that the fight was there today come and
:20:43. > :20:46.that is what we need. I am under no illusions how hard this job will be.
:20:47. > :20:53.Until the end of the season comment is going to be tough.
:20:54. > :20:58.They are one of the better teams in the division and we have matched
:20:59. > :21:03.them. It is a big plus for us. I think we are improving hell of a
:21:04. > :21:06.lot. We just have to maintain that to get where we want to be at the
:21:07. > :21:11.end of the season. Full credit to the players, we are playing all
:21:12. > :21:16.right at the moment. That is a nice ball into the box, and it is in the
:21:17. > :21:20.net! Extraordinary, it has gone in. It
:21:21. > :21:28.could be an own goal but David Wheeler is going to claim it. City
:21:29. > :21:32.lead 1`0. Puts it into the bottom right hand corner.
:21:33. > :21:43.Rovers are possibly round the back, in comes the cross! Amazing!
:21:44. > :21:48.For the second time in two games, O'Toole has scored the winning goal
:21:49. > :21:52.for Bristol Rovers in time added on. We know that we have it in us, we
:21:53. > :21:55.are not 1 million miles away from where we need to be, but if you make
:21:56. > :22:03.mistakes against top teams then the punish you. We need to bad mistakes
:22:04. > :22:07.from the two goals. `` we made two bad mistakes. We did get a goal in
:22:08. > :22:13.the end, that was good. Exeter Chiefs' 15`10 home loss to
:22:14. > :22:16.Glasgow Warriors in rugby's European Cup confirmed their exit from the
:22:17. > :22:20.tournament. The Chiefs were ten points to the good through Fetu'u
:22:21. > :22:23.Vainikolo's effort. But the Warriors wiped that out with two tries of
:22:24. > :22:27.their own at Sandy Park. However, Exeter still have the slightest of
:22:28. > :22:30.chances of making it to the European Challenge Cup if they earn a bonus
:22:31. > :22:36.point win at Cardiff Blues this Saturday.
:22:37. > :22:42.Staying with rugby, Plymouth Albion are almost certain to qualify for
:22:43. > :22:45.the quarterfinals of the British and Irish Cup. Their 39`3 stroll over
:22:46. > :22:49.Stirling County maintains their top position. The leaders go through,
:22:50. > :22:52.but even if Albion lose their final tie at Nottingham, they could still
:22:53. > :22:55.progress as one of the best runners`up.
:22:56. > :22:59.The Cornish Pirates look to make it a clean sweep of six wins out of six
:23:00. > :23:08.as their berth in the last eight is already guaranteed. Well done, the
:23:09. > :23:12.Cornish Pirates. Finally, tomorrow night Plymouth Argyle try to reach
:23:13. > :23:15.round four of the FA Cup against Port Vale at Home Park in a third
:23:16. > :23:21.round replay. There's full coverage on all BBC Radio Devon frequencies
:23:22. > :23:25.from 7:05pm. There have been reports of a mini
:23:26. > :23:29.tornado in the South Devon town of Kingsbridge. Several buildings in
:23:30. > :23:31.the town centre had slates blown off this afternoon. Eyewitnesses said
:23:32. > :23:35.the freak event lasted about a minute and a half. Bridge Street was
:23:36. > :23:40.cordoned off by the Fire Service as they dealt with a large velux window
:23:41. > :23:45.that had smashed onto the pavement. It was just quite freaky. All of the
:23:46. > :23:49.wind `` all of a sudden the wind was just horrendous, and a placard from
:23:50. > :23:54.outside of the shop was thrown into the two and crashed outside. It
:23:55. > :23:58.broke in two then hailstones. Later, we noticed the roof had come
:23:59. > :24:04.off and landed in the little car park area and the railings were
:24:05. > :24:07.bent. Goodness me, who knows what the weather will throw at us next!
:24:08. > :24:13.Here is a man who might, welcome back, David.
:24:14. > :24:14.After all of the bad weather we have seen come it is nice to talk
:24:15. > :24:18.After all of the bad weather we have seen about more settled weather, but
:24:19. > :24:22.perhaps not one of us for most of us, just one day, tomorrow. The
:24:23. > :24:26.general trend is to remain unsettled this week, more rain in the forecast
:24:27. > :24:32.and feeling quite cold, particularly tonight and tomorrow. Like a cold
:24:33. > :24:34.day in wintry showers and enough clear sky overnight to drop
:24:35. > :24:39.temperatures close to freezing, so we have `` warning from the Met
:24:40. > :24:43.Office about the risk of ice, possible anywhere but especially on
:24:44. > :24:49.roads and pavements that have not been gritted. You can see this gap
:24:50. > :24:52.in the cloud to the west of Wales and the southern Ireland at the
:24:53. > :24:55.moment. That gives much more settled weather overnight and a good part of
:24:56. > :24:59.the day tomorrow before the next line of cloud comes in. That will
:25:00. > :25:04.produce rain towards the end of the day tomorrow. Before it arrives and
:25:05. > :25:11.we will have as reasonable day, increasingly hazy. By Wednesday we
:25:12. > :25:15.are back to square one with a windy day and plenty of showers around,
:25:16. > :25:20.some of those quite heavy at times. The showers we have now are still
:25:21. > :25:24.quite lively, we have had hailstones in the last couple of hours, but
:25:25. > :25:27.becoming more isolated as the evening wears on. By the end of the
:25:28. > :25:34.evening and overnight the showers will probably fade away. Clearing
:25:35. > :25:39.skies will allow some mist and crossed `` frost. We should have
:25:40. > :25:44.some morning sunshine. We had some sunshine briefly today. This was
:25:45. > :25:54.early today in the team yesterday. `` obtain estuary. `` Teign. For
:25:55. > :25:59.most of us a chance to get outside and enjoys some lighter winds. You
:26:00. > :26:02.could feel it being worn looking at that, but it has not been won
:26:03. > :26:12.today, temperatures around eight Celsius. `` it has not been warned
:26:13. > :26:16.today. A cold start, through the day tomorrow amateurs will come up. In
:26:17. > :26:20.the afternoon the cloud will come in with not too much wet weather,
:26:21. > :26:25.mostly across Cornwall by the end of the afternoon. Winds increasing as
:26:26. > :26:31.the rain arrives. Where it stays cold tomorrow first thing it in the
:26:32. > :26:34.morning eight Celsius is the highest we can expect, with the rain
:26:35. > :26:38.temperatures up to double figures, for the Isles of Scilly for
:26:39. > :26:40.instance. Quite windy here, especially by the early evening. The
:26:41. > :26:52.times of high water... If you are heading to the beach for
:26:53. > :26:56.a spot of surfing the waves are quite big and coastal conditions
:26:57. > :27:04.still quite dangerous, even though the wind conditions have eased. The
:27:05. > :27:10.sea temperature is around 10 Celsius. The coastal waters
:27:11. > :27:13.forecast, winds from the west or north west first thing tomorrow,
:27:14. > :27:20.picking up to force five backing Westerly.
:27:21. > :27:26.Wednesday is windy, a day with plenty of cloud and frequent
:27:27. > :27:30.showers. Temperatures are recovered nicely, less frost possible, but
:27:31. > :27:35.certainly remaining unsettled towards the end of the week ahead.
:27:36. > :27:39.That is all from me, good evening. There is more local news on your BBC
:27:40. > :27:44.local radio station on the hour throughout the evening. I will be
:27:45. > :27:46.back with the late News at 10:25pm. Have a good evening. Good night.
