:00:11. > :00:16.Anger and distress over plans to close a number of day care centres

:00:17. > :00:20.across Devon. Good evening. The council wants to

:00:21. > :00:24.cut the number from 35 to just nine to save money, tonight we'll hear

:00:25. > :00:35.how it could affect those who use the centres. I shall be just here,

:00:36. > :00:38.Shantou? Just sitting here. There is not much to look forward to.

:00:39. > :00:42.Also tonight: Friends and family of an angler call for a change in the

:00:43. > :00:45.way rescues are co ordinated. Chris Newton died off the Lizard

:00:46. > :00:49.last year, but could he have been saved if a rescue helicopter had got

:00:50. > :00:52.to him sooner? And we continue our journey around

:00:53. > :01:01.the region to hear your stories about the storm damage and to look

:01:02. > :01:05.at the recovery. First tonight: Elderly and disabled people in Devon

:01:06. > :01:08.who use some council run day care centres say they're devastated many

:01:09. > :01:11.could be closed to save money. Devon County Council wants to reduce

:01:12. > :01:15.the number of centres from 35 to nine saying it would save around ?2

:01:16. > :01:18.million a year. The council says people would be given money to buy

:01:19. > :01:26.alternative services directly from the independent sector. Kirk England

:01:27. > :01:32.reports. Struggling to cope with what could

:01:33. > :01:36.lie ahead. Martin Moss says that going to the day centre in

:01:37. > :01:43.Barnstaple for just two days a week is his lifeline. It is facing

:01:44. > :01:49.closure. I looked upon it has not only a day out but almost, as most

:01:50. > :01:56.people go to work, I went to the day centre. I've built my week almost

:01:57. > :02:04.around it. To not have that and have it taken away from you would be

:02:05. > :02:07.catastrophic. Devon County Council wants to shut 26 day centres across

:02:08. > :02:16.the county to save money because fewer people are using them. Iris is

:02:17. > :02:20.a regular at this in Bideford. I think they are just saying we are

:02:21. > :02:26.not worth anything, we are past our sell by date. It has made me very

:02:27. > :02:34.depressed. I have never had trouble with sleeping and now I have, I keep

:02:35. > :02:37.waking up at 4am and I just feel dreadful. Devon County Council says

:02:38. > :02:42.that if the plans go ahead they want people to use the money they get

:02:43. > :02:49.from the authority, so`called personal budgets to buy alternative

:02:50. > :02:52.services from the independent sector such as charities. I understand

:02:53. > :02:56.totally how difficult it is for people, it is difficult for us to

:02:57. > :03:01.make these decisions and consider these issues. What we have to do is

:03:02. > :03:05.look at how to provide the same service in a more cost`effective

:03:06. > :03:10.way. In some places that may mean that we invest in services.

:03:11. > :03:15.The saving from the plant closures has been built into the latest

:03:16. > :03:19.budget for the Council which will be agreed this week. A public

:03:20. > :03:23.consultation is underway and a final decision on the day centre closures

:03:24. > :03:26.will not be made until March. Well, one organisation which could

:03:27. > :03:31.play a greater role in providing day care is Age UK. I asked Martyn

:03:32. > :03:37.Rogers from the charity in Exeter what impact the closure of the

:03:38. > :03:42.council centres could have. Day services are a lifeline for people.

:03:43. > :03:46.We provide day services ourselves and a chap was saying to me just the

:03:47. > :03:50.other day that he lives in a house but this is his home. They really

:03:51. > :03:54.become almost friends and family for people, they become very important

:03:55. > :04:00.as a way of getting out and connecting with the world. If day

:04:01. > :04:05.services to close it will have a big impact. Our job now, if that is the

:04:06. > :04:11.case, is to manage that in a way that works for people by finding

:04:12. > :04:15.suitable alternative provision. The council is talking about reducing

:04:16. > :04:20.the number of days enters from 35 to nine, is there enough provision to

:04:21. > :04:24.make up the slack? That is the worry. We have got a berry that

:04:25. > :04:26.works for people by finding suitable alternative provision. The council

:04:27. > :04:29.is talking about reducing the number of days enters from 35 to nine, is

:04:30. > :04:31.there enough provision to make up the slack? That is the worry. We

:04:32. > :04:38.have got buried berry patch you picture across the county. There are

:04:39. > :04:45.things that we can seamlessly do to offer alternative provision. Quite

:04:46. > :04:50.how it will work in more rural areas where there are transport

:04:51. > :04:53.difficulties and all of the rest, I am not sure. Everybody talks very

:04:54. > :05:01.passionately about them so why do you think the council say that fewer

:05:02. > :05:07.people are using them? First of all the council's own in`house services

:05:08. > :05:12.are more expensive to run as an independent sector services. There

:05:13. > :05:15.is a financial imperative where the council wonder if they can afford to

:05:16. > :05:23.do it because of the savings they need to make in the next few years.

:05:24. > :05:30.People are doing other things and I am surprised that the take`up is as

:05:31. > :05:33.low as it said. We have had people who have almost voted with their

:05:34. > :05:39.feet and they have left the day services in Devon and come to ours.

:05:40. > :05:44.Part of it is to do with the service that you provide. I do not say that

:05:45. > :05:48.the services in Devon are poor or they are not good enough but I think

:05:49. > :05:54.people come and view a service on a trial basis and they pick up whether

:05:55. > :05:58.there is a lot going on and whether people are engaged and whether it

:05:59. > :06:02.feels good place to be. In the voluntary sector we have volunteers

:06:03. > :06:06.as well as staff which means that we have more people back can engage

:06:07. > :06:10.with individuals and by energy enthusiasm and skills and it means

:06:11. > :06:15.we can be more flexible in the service that we provide. Thank you

:06:16. > :06:18.very much indeed. Plans to share medical records are

:06:19. > :06:22.being delayed until later this year. The BBC understands that NHS England

:06:23. > :06:24.has accepted that people need to be given more information. Our Health

:06:25. > :06:27.Correspondent Sally Mountjoy reported on concerns about the

:06:28. > :06:36.scheme here in the South West earlier this year and joins me now.

:06:37. > :06:42.What is all the fuss about? For the first time our GPs will be handing

:06:43. > :06:46.over our medical records to a big NHS national database. The database

:06:47. > :06:50.will be used to monitor health care and improve it and they will also

:06:51. > :06:55.handed over to some people for research purposes. This was all due

:06:56. > :06:58.to start happening within weeks. Every household in the country was

:06:59. > :07:02.supposed to have a leaflet explaining how it would work but a

:07:03. > :07:08.couple of surveys have shown that only one third of us have seen that

:07:09. > :07:11.leaflet. Various organisations have been very concerned that people did

:07:12. > :07:14.not know what was going to be going on in regards to their personal

:07:15. > :07:19.health information and they said that the whole thing should be

:07:20. > :07:23.halted so that we could all be properly informed. Now NHS England

:07:24. > :07:27.has bowed to pressure and delayed the roll`out of this project for a

:07:28. > :07:32.few months. They said it was to allow more time to build up the

:07:33. > :07:37.benefits of the information. There have been concerns about the use to

:07:38. > :07:42.which the medical records will be put but the director of NHS England

:07:43. > :07:47.says there are many safeguards. This is data that will not be sold off to

:07:48. > :07:51.the highest bidder. None of the personal information that you

:07:52. > :07:56.provide to the GP that you may consider as incredibly sensitive

:07:57. > :08:00.will not be released anyway. It is about major disease categories and

:08:01. > :08:04.it will not be released to insurance companies and anything used outside

:08:05. > :08:13.the NHS will be a non`eyes. All of the people who have had concerns,

:08:14. > :08:18.how have they relaxed it `` reacted to this news? They have said it is

:08:19. > :08:24.the right thing to do. Cornish GP says it was very wise to pause at

:08:25. > :08:27.this stage. He remains concerned about how private health care

:08:28. > :08:31.companies might use the information about us. He says that we should

:08:32. > :08:39.actually have two opt into the scheme rather opt out. I feel that

:08:40. > :08:43.if the data held by your GP is to be transferred out of your GP's

:08:44. > :08:48.control, you should be allowed to make a positive choice that that

:08:49. > :08:54.should happen. It should be an opt in and not an opt out. What ever

:08:55. > :08:58.happens we have a few more months to make sure we are all properly

:08:59. > :09:02.informed about it. Thank you very much indeed.

:09:03. > :09:05.A bridge on a key commuter route between Devon and Cornwall which was

:09:06. > :09:08.closed when a van drove through a wall is to re`open tonight.

:09:09. > :09:11.Newbridge at Gunnislake has been closed since the beginning of the

:09:12. > :09:13.month. Engineers and stone masons have completed the repairs ahead of

:09:14. > :09:16.schedule. The police are warning that the

:09:17. > :09:19.recent storms have uncovered a number of unexploded wartime bombs

:09:20. > :09:22.on beaches in the South west. Several have already been defused or

:09:23. > :09:25.removed, and today a naval bomb disposal team carried out a

:09:26. > :09:33.controlled explosion on a world war one device at Watergate Bay in North

:09:34. > :09:36.Cornwall. The family and friends of an angler

:09:37. > :09:39.from Cornwall who died after falling overboard are calling for changes in

:09:40. > :09:43.the ways rescues are co`ordinated. Chris Newton was fishing off the

:09:44. > :09:46.Lizard in December last year when the accident happend. They believe

:09:47. > :09:48.he could have been saved if a search and rescue helicopter had been

:09:49. > :09:56.scrambled sooner. Scott Bingham reports.

:09:57. > :10:04.This man fished with their friend Chris Newton many times. 58`year`old

:10:05. > :10:08.Chris who was diabetic had gone out alone in a dinghy and he was fishing

:10:09. > :10:13.for place. He failed to return three hours after they said `` he said he

:10:14. > :10:18.would be back and so they called 999. Steve was able to listen in to

:10:19. > :10:22.the rescue on his radio and as the drama unfolded he was amazed that

:10:23. > :10:29.the rescue helicopter was not scrambled until an hour after the

:10:30. > :10:34.call. If it had been tasked an hour earlier they would have gone to the

:10:35. > :10:38.exact location where Chris was and they would have pulled him out of

:10:39. > :10:42.the water and winched him abroad `` aboard and straight to the hospital.

:10:43. > :10:45.Chris had been plucked from the sea is still breathing and his friends

:10:46. > :10:53.assumed he was in a helicopter and on his way to safety. That evening I

:10:54. > :10:56.went to bed thinking he was a lucky man and it was not until the next

:10:57. > :11:04.morning that I realised he was incredibly unlucky. I just feel like

:11:05. > :11:10.there was an opportunity to save his life and it was sadly missed. Steve

:11:11. > :11:16.contacted the local MP who wrote to the Maritime and coastguard agency.

:11:17. > :11:20.It has thrown up matters that I think are worthy of review, the

:11:21. > :11:26.operational procedures that seem to be in place when a single`handed

:11:27. > :11:32.vessel is overdue and deep precise time when it is appropriate to task

:11:33. > :11:36.a helicopter. The Maritime and coastguard agency said in a

:11:37. > :11:41.statement that any death at sea in a tragedy and added that asking a

:11:42. > :11:44.helicopter was not usual practice for an overdue vessel. They said

:11:45. > :11:47.that following a review of the response they were satisfied they

:11:48. > :11:51.had tasked the correct resources at the correct time.

:11:52. > :12:01.Still ahead in the programme this evening.

:12:02. > :12:04.We are off to Cornwall as we continue our journey round the

:12:05. > :12:08.region looking at the damage the storm has left behind.

:12:09. > :12:11.All this week on Spotlight we're looking at the work of the North

:12:12. > :12:14.Devon Hospice.This year its celebrating its 30th birthday. The

:12:15. > :12:17.charity wants to use the milestone to change people's perceptions about

:12:18. > :12:20.hospice care. Tonight, our North Devon reporter, Andrea Ormsby, looks

:12:21. > :12:39.at the work of the Hospice's bedded unit. Hello, hello. How are you? I

:12:40. > :12:45.am fine, how are you. This is more like a quality hotel than a hospital

:12:46. > :12:50.and it is not miserable. Helen has been here for just over a week. You

:12:51. > :12:56.forget all about the sad thing is to a certain extent. They are always at

:12:57. > :13:03.the back of your mind a little bit. The area is beautiful, even in the

:13:04. > :13:09.middle of the winter with all the wind and the rain that we have had,

:13:10. > :13:13.it is still a lovely place to come. It is a very special place to work.

:13:14. > :13:18.It is full of laughter and the nurses have a dreadful sense of

:13:19. > :13:25.humour and we are always making jokes but it can be a very happy and

:13:26. > :13:32.fulfilling place. This doctor is the medical director here. This is the

:13:33. > :13:38.inpatient unit. We have seven beds, seven single rooms and we admit

:13:39. > :13:42.patients here with a wide range of conditions for periods to get their

:13:43. > :13:46.symptoms under control and hopefully we plan to get them back home

:13:47. > :13:56.again. The average length of stay is just over ten days. May I come in?

:13:57. > :14:05.Hello. Roy has a lung disease and he will be here for just one week. I am

:14:06. > :14:09.comfortable and I have had a lovely bit of dinner but I cannot eat too

:14:10. > :14:14.much because of my complaint. I have been resting and I have been

:14:15. > :14:19.settling in. The doctor came in to talk to me and here I am, waiting to

:14:20. > :14:27.see what might happen. They are ever so kind up here. When somebody comes

:14:28. > :14:31.here, from the outset we are saying to them, what is important to you?

:14:32. > :14:35.What goals do you want to set? We try to be very clear about the fact

:14:36. > :14:40.that we can do a great deal to support them in terms of their

:14:41. > :14:44.physical care but also in their emotional and spiritual care as

:14:45. > :14:48.well. We can also support the family. Although the nurses here do

:14:49. > :14:53.all the medical things you would expect, not of their is with

:14:54. > :15:00.emotions. You struggle with your feelings because you are not sure

:15:01. > :15:04.quite how you feel. You rock and roll a bit and we would have a

:15:05. > :15:08.little chat in the middle of the night. It is brilliant, they will

:15:09. > :15:12.bring you a cup of tea and they know you can only drink two sips of it

:15:13. > :15:16.before you go off to sleep but it does not matter. It does not matter

:15:17. > :15:22.at all. They help with so many things. Sometimes you go home and

:15:23. > :15:27.you are exhausted, not because you have been busy but because you have

:15:28. > :15:33.given a lot of yourself to your patients. It is an honour. It is, it

:15:34. > :15:42.is an honour, the work we do is an honour. It is a very special place

:15:43. > :15:47.to work. Around 170 people were cared for in this unit last year, it

:15:48. > :15:52.is a crucial part of the hospice but only a small part. The vast majority

:15:53. > :15:55.of hospice patients are cared for at home.

:15:56. > :15:58.Well, since we filmed that report, Helen, one of the patients who

:15:59. > :16:03.talked to Andrea, has passed away but her family did want to use the

:16:04. > :16:16.footage. Tomorrow we'll be looking at how the hospice does the bulk of

:16:17. > :16:19.its work out in the community. More pictures have been emerging of

:16:20. > :16:23.the dramatic damage caused by the storms. At Beesands in south Devon

:16:24. > :16:26.the storms gouged out a long section of the sea defences. This was

:16:27. > :16:29.Lamorna Cove's harbour wall before the storms and this is it

:16:30. > :16:33.afterwards. And this is how Portwrinkle's harbour used to look,

:16:34. > :16:36.it now has a hole in it. And at the popular Devon beach of South Milton,

:16:37. > :16:40.sand dunes restored by The National Trust have also been ripped apart by

:16:41. > :16:46.the waves. And you can see more before and after pictures on the BBC

:16:47. > :16:49.News website. If you saw yesterday's programme

:16:50. > :16:52.you'll know that our reporter John Henderson is spending this week

:16:53. > :16:56.travelling the Spotlight region from West to East to see for himself some

:16:57. > :16:59.of YOUR stories of storm damage. We've been asking for your

:17:00. > :17:02.suggestions of where he should visit and thank you to those of you who've

:17:03. > :17:05.already contacted us with ideas. From West Cornwall to Dorset,

:17:06. > :17:09.nowhere has entirely escaped the effect of the recent extreme

:17:10. > :17:15.weather. John's journey began in Lamorna Cove and Penzance. Today

:17:16. > :17:18.he's moved up the coast, calling in at Coverack, before ending up on the

:17:19. > :17:31.beach at Gorran Haven, near St Austell. Here's how he got on.

:17:32. > :17:36.Tuesday morning on the Lizard. Look at this, the sun is shining. For the

:17:37. > :17:43.next stage of my trip this is as far as I can go in the car. This is

:17:44. > :17:50.Coverack, picturesque fishing village on the Cornish south coast

:17:51. > :17:54.and it copped it during the storms. This is the result, a huge hole in

:17:55. > :18:04.the sea wall, right underneath the main coast road into the village.

:18:05. > :18:09.Need at hand with those pasties? Thank you very much. They are

:18:10. > :18:15.Cornish pasties. They would not be anything else! Absolutely. This

:18:16. > :18:19.business is holding up and the stop `` shot even stayed open during the

:18:20. > :18:25.Valentine's Day storms but the closed road is preventing the

:18:26. > :18:31.bigger, essential deliveries. Do you have any Mars bars? I do not because

:18:32. > :18:37.the lorry bringing the menace to big to get into the village the back

:18:38. > :18:44.way. Time to hit the road again. My next destination is 40 miles away. I

:18:45. > :18:49.am seriously lost. I am following the cameraman. I hope he knows where

:18:50. > :18:54.he is going. One and a half hours later I am in Gorran Haven,

:18:55. > :19:03.Friday's waves smashed the starters `` shutters of the beach at page

:19:04. > :19:06.giving the owner and nasty shock. Catching the light switch with water

:19:07. > :19:11.spraying on it was a basic thing not to do but in the panic when you come

:19:12. > :19:15.in the pitch black and you can feel the sea sloshing around your feet it

:19:16. > :19:21.was an automatic thing to do! Help was at hand his daughter flew in

:19:22. > :19:26.from France. This is my parents dream since I was a little girl,

:19:27. > :19:30.they always wanted to run this place specifically so a few weeks away

:19:31. > :19:34.from opening it is gutting to see it all destroyed but we will get there

:19:35. > :19:40.and we will get it fixed up and it will be open when it is supposed to.

:19:41. > :19:44.The cafe showed Troost Cornish spirit in overcoming the storms.

:19:45. > :19:49.Tomorrow we will see how Devon is faring. I will be checking social

:19:50. > :19:53.media and e`mails and tweets as to where you want me to report from

:19:54. > :20:01.next four days three of the trip, as we leave Cornwall and head into

:20:02. > :20:06.Devon. Still a lot of places and damage to

:20:07. > :20:10.see. So just a reminder, you can get in

:20:11. > :20:24.touch with John by emailing Spotlight or via social media. Now

:20:25. > :20:31.for some sports news and some of you may not want to relive this after

:20:32. > :20:34.the humiliation our cricket team suffered in Australia this winter in

:20:35. > :20:41.losing the Ashes, it was left to the England Women's side to show the men

:20:42. > :20:45.how it should be done. But Charlotte Edwards' tourists went down under

:20:46. > :20:47.and came back victorious. Today, at their headquarters in Taunton,

:20:48. > :20:52.they've been showing off their prize.

:20:53. > :20:55.This piece contained some flash photography.

:20:56. > :20:59.Taunton is a place of happy memories for Charlotte Edwards. To date with

:21:00. > :21:05.the Ashes trophy and her batting gloves she gave some back. It marked

:21:06. > :21:13.her first appearance as a full`time England professional after the

:21:14. > :21:18.announcement of a new ECB deal. It is one thing I did not think I would

:21:19. > :21:26.see in my playing career so when we got the news I was overwhelmed. I do

:21:27. > :21:31.not think it has quite sunk in yet. I am very honoured to be one of the

:21:32. > :21:36.first professional women to play cricket so hopefully I have a few

:21:37. > :21:42.more years and I can enjoy that time as well. Add ?40,000 a year it is

:21:43. > :21:45.likely to help her job inspiring youngsters, allowing teenagers like

:21:52. > :21:55.is already on the up. A scheme has seen 1 million take part already. I

:21:56. > :21:59.take being a role model released seriously. It is important to be in

:22:00. > :22:04.school than be visible to younger girls. When I was growing up I did

:22:05. > :22:12.not have any role models especially in this sport, it was all male role

:22:56. > :22:59.It's time for the weather now and many of us have been very grateful

:23:00. > :23:03.for a bit of respite from the storms. No sign of any heavy rain or

:23:04. > :23:07.gale force winds at the Exe Estuary today, in fact it was a scene of

:23:08. > :23:11.tranquility there with a few light clouds and plenty of sunshine. It

:23:12. > :23:15.almost looked like Spring had arrived. I'm sure there will be a

:23:23. > :23:26.What sort of clouds were they? I do not know!

:24:06. > :24:10.spreading to these and they brought as heavy and thundery showers but it

:24:11. > :24:16.was an improving picture. Sunny spells by the end of the day and you
