:00:27. > :00:29.ever. Good evening welcome to Spotlight. Health care across three
:00:30. > :00:32.hospitals will be examined by a total of 27 inspectors. This is all
:00:33. > :00:37.about putting the patient is at the centre, their experience, safety,

:00:56. > :01:00.Inspectors have arrived at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust to start
:01:01. > :01:03.what's claimed to be the most rigorous ever review. The Care
:01:04. > :01:06.Quality Commission will scrutinise services at the Trust's three
:01:07. > :01:09.hospitals as part of a new national inspection regime, set up in the
:01:10. > :01:14.wake of the Stafford Hospital scandal. The RCHT will be assessed
:01:15. > :01:17.on eight areas, including how quickly it deals with patients in
:01:18. > :01:22.Accident and Emergency ` an area where the trust has fallen short of
:01:23. > :01:28.national targets. From Truro, Spotlight's health correspondent,
:01:29. > :01:31.Sally Mountjoy, reports. For Rene Merrick a visit to the
:01:32. > :01:35.emergency department is also a chance to tell a hospital inspector
:01:36. > :01:39.what she thinks of her care, here and as a cancer patient. They are
:01:40. > :01:44.marvellous and I wouldn't say that if it wasn't true. Mrs Merrick's
:01:45. > :01:49.whole journey through the hospital will be followed. ?? CYAN We will
:01:50. > :01:53.leave her for a while to go off to her x`ray. Later in the day, we will
:01:54. > :01:56.catch up with her and find out whether the treatment that she has
:01:57. > :02:01.received all the way through the hospital has been excellent, as she
:02:02. > :02:03.says so far. 27 inspectors, including doctors, nurses and
:02:04. > :02:06.so`called expert patients, have descended on the Royal Cornwall's
:02:07. > :02:13.three hospitals in Truro, Hale and Penzance to scrutinise services. It
:02:14. > :02:16.is part of a new and rigorous national inspection regime
:02:17. > :02:19.introduced in the wake of the Stafford Hospital scandal, where
:02:20. > :02:24.substandard care led to the deaths of hundreds of patients. This is all
:02:25. > :02:27.about putting the patients at the centre, their experience, their
:02:28. > :02:33.safety, the care... Is the Trust responsive? Is it effective? Is it
:02:34. > :02:38.well`led? So we have got a lot of work to do in two days but we are
:02:39. > :02:41.very pleased to be doing this. The emergency department is an important
:02:42. > :02:44.focus for the inspectors but the latest weekly figures show fewer
:02:45. > :02:47.than 78% of patients here were seen within four hours, significantly
:02:48. > :02:53.lower than the national target of 95%. One reason for problems in A
:02:54. > :02:56.is delayed discharges elsewhere in the hospital, where patients ready
:02:57. > :03:02.to leave are blocking beds because ongoing care isn't available. The
:03:03. > :03:08.Trust hopes CQC inspectors will highlight the issue in their report.
:03:09. > :03:12.Our partners in health and social care are aware of the issues. There
:03:13. > :03:16.has been some work over the last 18 months, and longer, on these issues
:03:17. > :03:19.but I think as a hospital, we are really wanting to see a breakthrough
:03:20. > :03:24.in this issue, particularly for our patients. As well as talking to
:03:25. > :03:28.hospital staff and patients today and tomorrow, the inspection team
:03:29. > :03:31.will be gathering views from the public tonight and will be making
:03:32. > :03:39.some unannounced hospital visits in the coming days. The report is due
:03:40. > :03:42.to be published in about six weeks. Sally has been with the inspectors
:03:43. > :03:50.at Treliske today and joins us from the hospital now. Sally, why is this
:03:51. > :03:55.inspection so important? In the first place, it is significant
:03:56. > :03:58.because this new style of in`depth assessment will provide a far more
:03:59. > :04:02.comprehensive review of hospital services than ever before. It is
:04:03. > :04:06.extremely important to the trust for another reason also. This was chosen
:04:07. > :04:08.as one of the first to undergo this kind of scrutiny because it has
:04:09. > :04:14.applied to become a foundation trust. That status is only granted
:04:15. > :04:19.to top performing hospitals. It is absolutely critical that it gets a
:04:20. > :04:23.good report after this inspection because otherwise it sped to be a
:04:24. > :04:25.foundation trust is going to be in jeopardy.
:04:26. > :04:34.Why does being a foundation trust matter? The status means that
:04:35. > :04:36.hospitals have a lot more managerial and financial freedom. That
:04:37. > :04:40.independence would give the trust the chance to make far more local
:04:41. > :04:42.decisions about the kind of care and the way it is delivered for the
:04:43. > :04:45.people of Cornwall. And it's not just patients in
:04:46. > :04:52.hospital who can tell inspectors what they think of their hospitals,
:04:53. > :04:56.is it? A short time ago, some so`called listening events got
:04:57. > :05:00.underway in Penzance. Members of the public have been invited to share
:05:01. > :05:03.their views of hospital services with the CQC on those views will
:05:04. > :05:08.inform you report that eventually comes out. Also, inspectors can take
:05:09. > :05:09.some of those things that are raised tonight back to hospital managers
:05:10. > :05:12.tomorrow. Thank you very much.

:05:24. > :05:31.More homes have been flooded in Somerset, as water Levels on the
:05:32. > :05:34.moorlands continue to rise. In one village the drainage system has been
:05:35. > :05:37.overwhelmed by the floodwater and temporary toilets have had to be
:05:38. > :05:38.brought in. Our Somerset correspondent Clinton Rogers
:05:39. > :05:42.reports. These new aerial pictures show the
:05:43. > :05:49.scale of the problem, a problem that is getting worse. We were only here
:05:50. > :05:55.a couple of days ago and there was no water like this on the road,
:05:56. > :06:01.then. So this is the reality of everyday life in Moorland 2014.
:06:02. > :06:07.Drains are blocked, toilets are not working. Some people are having to
:06:08. > :06:11.manually dispose of their waste. Or walk to the village hall to use the
:06:12. > :06:18.temporary toilets that have been brought in. The water we have here
:06:19. > :06:23.is almost from a week ago. More homes have been flooded as water
:06:24. > :06:28.from high ground reaches levels. Life, for some here, is becoming
:06:29. > :06:37.intolerable. You know, I am not a stressful person. I can deal with
:06:38. > :06:42.most things but... This is my life. This is the sorry state we are in at
:06:43. > :06:47.the moment. Some have already moved out and with more rain forecast,
:06:48. > :06:50.others may soon follow. When did your daughter move out? Yesterday
:06:51. > :06:57.morning. Because, you know, things had gotten so bad. I mean, she could
:06:58. > :07:05.not use the kitchen. The drains are full up. Finding any dry land here
:07:06. > :07:10.is becoming increasingly difficult. Bryony was moving her chickens from
:07:11. > :07:15.their flooded coop this morning. This, she says, is worse than last
:07:16. > :07:20.year. But for farmers like James, moving livestock is not an option.
:07:21. > :07:29.Even though 90% of his farm is now under water. I was awake half the
:07:30. > :07:33.night worrying about it last night. We will just have to see. People
:07:34. > :07:37.have been very kind. They have offered space for 50 or 60 cattle
:07:38. > :07:41.but we have 550 cattle and if they are spread all over the county, how
:07:42. > :07:49.do I get food to them? I think we are going to have to, if it comes to
:07:50. > :07:53.it, sell them. That'll be it. Moorland is not quite an island yet
:07:54. > :07:56.but some roads are impassable and those who believe the floodwaters
:07:57. > :08:14.are receding are counting the cost of their mistake.

:08:30. > :08:35.maybe putting themselves at risk. The Jurassic Coast is the gift that
:08:36. > :08:38.keeps on giving to fossil hunters. With every poll comes the
:08:39. > :08:42.possibility of a big find. That is why people like Harry come out on a

:10:17. > :10:18.stable. We urge people to stay away from the cliffs and if they're going
:10:19. > :10:22.to come and look for fossils, concentrate on the beach where the
:10:23. > :10:25.best fossils are to be found anywhere. One thing is certain,

:13:56. > :14:01.Great War, many were badly damaged physically and mentally. Some of the
:14:02. > :14:05.worst cases came to be treated just outside Newton Abbot. For 15 months,
:14:06. > :14:12.from April 1918, Seale`Hayne Agricultural College became a
:14:13. > :14:15.specialist military hospital. It was absolutely ideal because of the
:14:16. > :14:22.beautiful surroundings, the rural surroundings. And just the ethos of
:14:23. > :14:34.the place. And this rare footage shows the
:14:35. > :14:40.extreme conditions of some of the patients. This man couldn't control
:14:41. > :14:46.himself when hearing the word bombs. It drove him to hide under a bed. He
:14:47. > :14:49.was on the Western front and there was a very severe shell attack and
:14:50. > :14:54.he was blown up and rendered unconscious. Like so many of the 300
:14:55. > :14:57.or so patients, he was, though, helped by the innovative techniques
:14:58. > :15:02.of the distinguished neurologist and physician Sir Arthur Hurst. It was
:15:03. > :15:07.done by re`education and persuasion. One particular feature
:15:08. > :15:15.is the amount of encouragement and praise they gave these men as they
:15:16. > :15:20.were being treated. It was very much... "Excellent." That's the
:15:21. > :15:26.first step. "You did that very well." And the next step, "Splendid.
:15:27. > :15:30.That's the stuff." And all that sort of thing which is the sort of thing
:15:31. > :15:33.that is done now. It was quite different from the normal, "Pull
:15:34. > :15:41.yourself together, man. You are a military man." I first noticed that
:15:42. > :15:44.Pathe film in 19... Ray was a student at Seale`Hayne in the
:15:45. > :15:49.1950s, when it reverted back to an agricultural college. It is now run
:15:50. > :15:52.by the Dame Hannah Rogers Trust and works with people with
:15:53. > :15:55.disabilities. And to mark the contribution Seale`Hayne made to the
:15:56. > :15:59.First World War effort, the trust and Ray wanted to learn more about
:16:00. > :16:06.the men treated at the military hospital from 1918. We want to trace
:16:07. > :16:09.the descendant families. And with their permission, gather some
:16:10. > :16:16.accounts of what happened after the war to those men. How it goes on and
:16:17. > :16:26.how it affected the families. Because while it might seem a
:16:27. > :16:29.relatively small contribution a long time ago, it is one that made a
:16:30. > :16:34.difference and resonates at Seale`Hayne even today. Care and
:16:35. > :16:41.social consciousness and education is buried in the mortar of this
:16:42. > :16:48.place. Even the Chief Executive of Hannahs said this place wrapped arms
:16:49. > :16:50.around you. And that's what I feel about the place and what it did for

:17:54. > :17:59.added years to the new bishop before he had even started the job. Are you
:18:00. > :18:05.70? Am I 70? No, I am sorry. I know I look 70! Today's tour of Devon was
:18:06. > :18:08.his first opportunity to meet local people and learn about challenges
:18:09. > :18:13.facing him as the next Bishop of Exeter. ?? CYAN The picture postcard
:18:14. > :18:17.image that many people will have of Devon is only half the story. There
:18:18. > :18:22.are many communities here racing real hardship. Long`term
:18:23. > :18:25.unemployment or poverty or it could be as a result of the recent
:18:26. > :18:33.flooding, which I know has devastated and affected parts of the
:18:34. > :18:36.farming community. And I have been really moved this morning, hearing
:18:37. > :18:39.from people from churches and individuals where they have got
:18:40. > :18:45.stuck in and are trying to help people. He hopes to continue the
:18:46. > :18:48.work of the right Reverend Michael Languish, who championed countryside
:18:49. > :18:52.issues like foot and mouth and rural broadband during his 13 years in the
:18:53. > :18:56.post. But the region loses Bishop Michael's seat in the House of
:18:57. > :19:00.Lords. You don't automatically get a seat, I believe. No. It is an order
:19:01. > :19:04.of priority. Whereabouts are you in that list? Do you know, I don't
:19:05. > :19:07.know, I am afraid. I am more at the moment concerned about trying to
:19:08. > :19:11.move to Devon and become the Bishop of Exeter. I haven't got as far as
:19:12. > :19:16.thinking about where I am in the pecking order to move into the House
:19:17. > :19:19.of Lords. But it will be his job to appoint the next Bishop of Plymouth.
:19:20. > :19:22.He says he looks forward to women becoming ordained as bishops but he
:19:23. > :19:25.does not feel the appropriate legislation would be in place in
:19:26. > :19:29.time. A Devon man has filmed pictures of a
:19:30. > :19:32.wild beaver living in East Devon on the River Otter. Last year there was
:19:33. > :19:35.a reported sighting near Otterton but now new images have revealed a

:19:41. > :19:46.The images show the animal going about its business in an area where
:19:47. > :19:52.otters normally steal the limelight. Our environment correspondent Adrian
:19:53. > :19:56.Campbell has been investigating. There is some debate about whether
:19:57. > :20:00.it is a male or female but everyone seems to agree on one thing, it is a
:20:01. > :20:06.beaver. It has been captured on emotion centres of camera not very
:20:07. > :20:09.far from the river water. I was walking down by the river and
:20:10. > :20:15.noticed that some of the trees had been gnawed at the bottom of the
:20:16. > :20:23.trunk. I thought that was unusual but that it could not be beaver. So
:20:24. > :20:28.we decided to put out a camera and put out a camera where I had seen
:20:29. > :20:33.the gnawed trees and yes, it was a beaver! Could not believe it! For
:20:34. > :20:38.those of you that still might doubt this video, let's take a look at
:20:39. > :20:41.this tree trunk and you can see where the beaver has not away, very
:20:42. > :20:48.clearly. There is more evidence as well. Track marks. This tree feller
:20:49. > :20:53.has been quite busy and if you look carefully at the same spot by day,
:20:54. > :20:59.when this dog goes by, and then again at night, you can tell this
:21:00. > :21:03.beaver is a large animal. We have seen one beaver. Why have we got one
:21:04. > :21:09.here, why is he is doing what he is doing? He is either trying to set up
:21:10. > :21:16.home for something or has escaped from somewhere or is a loan beaver.
:21:17. > :21:20.We do not know. John is providing a secure habitat for two Beavers at a
:21:21. > :21:25.nearby park. He says neither has escaped but if pleased to hear of
:21:26. > :21:32.the apparent success about this one that has been filmed and see they
:21:33. > :21:35.are good for the environment. The beaver will be not killing the
:21:36. > :21:41.trees. Baby should straightaway and over period of years, they would
:21:42. > :21:45.revisit and keep the vegetation at a sensible height. It also lets the
:21:46. > :21:52.light in to the rest of the river and increases the pond and river
:21:53. > :21:54.growth of weeds. He or she is definitely out there. And according
:21:55. > :22:01.to the experts, not doing any harm at all.
:22:02. > :22:05.Sport Relief is back and is aiming to be bigger than ever. The charity
:22:06. > :22:08.is hoping to encourage as many people as possible to get involved
:22:09. > :22:10.in sport and raise money for good causes.
:22:11. > :22:13.Last time around, the South West raised almost ?700,000, which helped
:22:14. > :22:16.support a 150 projects across the region. Spotlight's North Devon
:22:17. > :22:22.reporter, Andrea Ormsby, has been finding out more at this year's fund
:22:23. > :22:28.raising launch. Cricket, the life changing way. This
:22:29. > :22:34.project is run by a charity called Wings. Its aim is simple, to give
:22:35. > :22:39.young people a future and a home. Why cricket? Cricket is a great team
:22:40. > :22:43.'s board. It is relatively popular in the region but not necessarily
:22:44. > :22:46.that popular with young people. It is a level playing field for young
:22:47. > :22:51.people to start with. It teaches various skills, team working,
:22:52. > :22:55.discipline and a lot of them are starting from scratch but can see
:22:56. > :22:59.the results quickly. It seems to work for the young, unemployed
:23:00. > :23:02.people come. You meet other people on the course and it is people you
:23:03. > :23:06.would not normally interact with so it is a lot better than just walking
:23:07. > :23:12.around, doing nothing, sitting at home all day playing computer games.
:23:13. > :23:15.It gives your motivation to get up in the morning, come here and help
:23:16. > :23:19.you get through things. The charity has been given money from Comic
:23:20. > :23:26.Relief, the charity behind it, backed I didn't's X factor
:23:27. > :23:34.contestant Luke Friend. Get up and help people. I think charities are a
:23:35. > :23:43.great thing and I know I do gigs for charities. It is a really good thing
:23:44. > :23:48.and I think what these things do `` these guys do is really lovely and
:23:49. > :23:57.it makes people happy as well. I thought I had him! It is from the
:23:58. > :24:01.21st of March to the 23rd and is the first part where you can take part
:24:02. > :24:07.in three challenges. It looks like Luke has that cricket covered.
:24:08. > :24:07.And you'll be delighted to know Andrea's
:24:08. > :24:12.Luke has that cricket covered. And you'll be camera survived the
:24:13. > :24:14.experience! Dude, we might need it again at some
:24:15. > :24:19.point. Let's have a look at the weather. I
:24:20. > :24:23.drove back this morning in horrendous rain on the A38.
:24:24. > :24:28.Hopefully it has moved away. It has moved away but is still
:24:29. > :24:31.giving heavy rain. Tomorrow is drier. It is certainly a lot
:24:32. > :24:36.brighter and we should be some sunshine. There will be showers but
:24:37. > :24:39.I think we are in a pattern at the moment. Get a couple of days that
:24:40. > :24:42.are brighter and drier with a few showers but then another lump of
:24:43. > :24:46.rain heading our way. That really is how the week will progress. Some
:24:47. > :24:51.showers tomorrow, on Thursday and more persistent rain on Friday. Low
:24:52. > :24:54.pressure is in charge. There is no sign of any high pressure coming
:24:55. > :24:57.anywhere near as at the moment, sadly. Another vigorous area of low
:24:58. > :25:02.pressure could drop of Scotland, throwing cloud and rain across. It
:25:03. > :25:05.is slow`moving at the moment through Dorset and Somerset but will
:25:06. > :25:09.eventually peter out as it moves eastwards overnight. What replaces
:25:10. > :25:12.it is that more straightforward. A mix of sunny spells and scattered
:25:13. > :25:17.showers, although the showers may well formed lines. One early in the
:25:18. > :25:23.day and another around lunchtime. Play some drier weather later. A
:25:24. > :25:26.similar picture on Thursday. Let's look but the rain in the last few
:25:27. > :25:30.hours because it has been quite heavy in a few places. Particularly
:25:31. > :25:34.across parts of East Devon into Somerset and Dorset. It is you're
:25:35. > :25:38.that it will continue to rain until well after midnight, before it
:25:39. > :25:40.finally clears out of the way. What we are left with is a lot of
:25:41. > :25:45.moisture on the ground, lighter winds, clearing skies. Mister is
:25:46. > :25:48.possible and fog as possible. Briefly also a touch of frost with a
:25:49. > :25:59.view showers reappearing towards dawn. Those are our overnight lows.
:26:00. > :26:03.For tomorrow, we will get some sunny spells but equally, some showers.
:26:04. > :26:06.Fulls showers will be early in the day. Around the middle of the day,
:26:07. > :26:12.perhaps a scattering, but drier in the afternoon. Quite a lot of cloud
:26:13. > :26:21.around but drier than to do. The winds are brisk and cold. That is
:26:22. > :26:23.the forecast for the Isles of Scilly. Some sunshine but also the
:26:24. > :26:40.risk of a few showers. The waves are likely to be quite big
:26:41. > :26:45.but not necessarily usable. The best of the surf will be along the south
:26:46. > :26:48.coast. Conditions improving in the afternoon. There is a coastal waters
:26:49. > :27:04.forecast. Here is the outlook. Yes, there is
:27:05. > :27:08.some dry weather but it is only fleeting. On Thursday, we will see
:27:09. > :27:12.quite a lot of road. A few showers dotted around every now and again.
:27:13. > :27:17.Friday, some more persistent rain and it becomes more persistent in
:27:18. > :27:20.the afternoon. Another quite wet day on Friday and windy also. The
:27:21. > :27:24.strength of wind continues into the weekend. On Saturday, sunny spells
:27:25. > :27:28.and scattered showers. Sunday, a new band of wet weather comes in. Some
:27:29. > :27:32.uncertainty on the timing but we will firm up on that tomorrow. That
:27:33. > :27:40.is all from me. Had a good evening. Thank you very much. That is the
:27:41. > :27:43.news from us. We will give you hourly regional updates on the
:27:44. > :27:48.radio. Have a good night. Good night.
