Mental health services for children and young people

:00:12.:00:13.

A report says action should now be taken.

:00:14.:00:18.

Complexities, confusion, tension ` the committee of councillors said

:00:19.:00:23.

they struggled to determine what impact the service is having.

:00:24.:00:27.

But senior figures say it's under competing pressures.

:00:28.:00:35.

Every single part of the system in Cornwall for looking after children

:00:36.:00:41.

and young people is bursting at the seams. There is not one layer that

:00:42.:00:44.

is resource well enough to look after that need.

:00:45.:00:49.

We'll be putting concerns to one of the body's which fund thd work.

:00:50.:00:52.

An investigation is launched after I patients at Musgrove Park Hospital

:00:53.:00:59.

complained of blurred vision after surgery.

:01:00.:01:11.

There've been concerns about the mental health service

:01:12.:01:13.

for children and young people in Cornwall for a number of years

:01:14.:01:16.

A committee of councillors found a range of faults including

:01:17.:01:21.

a lack of leadership and little tangible evidence of improvement.

:01:22.:01:23.

But the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service in

:01:24.:01:26.

Cornwall says the committee doesn't understand the pressures it's under.

:01:27.:01:29.

This report has been compiled by a group of councillors who were

:01:30.:01:39.

concerned about the county's child and adolescent mental health

:01:40.:01:45.

services. They spent two daxs here at the County Hall interviewing 37

:01:46.:01:50.

witnesses, including users of the service, professionals, and other

:01:51.:01:55.

agencies. Their conclusions about the service are powerful and

:01:56.:01:58.

critical, including a lack of leadership, vision and strategy. A

all of which contribute to this overall landscape of confusion,

an inability to determine improvement. Councillors also

:02:09.:02:12.

concerned there were no inp`tient concerned there were no inpatient

see how we can plan the services around them. We'd be glad to do

:04:35.:04:39.

that. You do pay for some of these services, and we heard from the

:04:40.:04:42.

service, which said in effect they had too much work to do and too much

:04:43.:04:44.

money to fund it. Do they need more money to fund it. Do they need more

:04:45.:04:49.

money? That is part of what we need to look at. As a taxpayer, we would

A Plymouth based Royal Navy warship has seized ?8.5 million worth of

heroin, during a raid on a fishing boat in the northern Arabian Sea.

:06:08.:06:11.

Sailors and Royal Marines from HMS Somerset seized nearly 60 kilos

A new free school could open up in East Devon.

:06:19.:06:21.

The head of Broadclyst Community Primary School wants to open up

:06:22.:06:24.

another school, because of plans to build more homes nearby.

:06:25.:06:27.

It would be independent from local authority control.

:06:28.:06:30.

But unions say the money would be better spent on existing schools.

There was a stark illustrathon today of just how numbered the days of

Across Europe, governments `re promoting clean alternatives. Many

Southwest authorities are now spending millions every year on the

incinerator on the outskirts of the city. This is where all the waste

:07:28.:07:33.

comes into the plant for processing and they can process about dight

:07:34.:07:34.

and they can process about eight tonnes of rubbish every hour.

:07:35.:07:42.

Interestingly, about 20% has to leave as Ash at the other end.

:07:43.:07:47.

Across the South West, therd are already three energy from waste

:07:48.:07:50.

incinerators due to start operating soon, and another facility that

:07:51.:07:54.

could be built near Barnstaple is under consideration but it's not

:07:55.:07:57.

been decided it would be an energy from waste plant. Somerset `nd

:07:58.:08:01.

Dorset rely on recycling, landfill and other methods to manage their

:08:02.:08:06.

waste. Burning our rubbish to produce energy is a complex business

:08:07.:08:10.

requiring sophisticated computer systems which can monitor this type

I am confident about this plan. It's doing what we expected it to do We

:08:24.:08:28.

doing what we expected it to do. We are at the point we expected to be

:08:29.:08:33.

at and when we expected to be at it. It's behaving in the way we thought

it would and everybody is here, so it would and everybody is here, so

:08:35.:08:40.

all the actors are here and the stage is built on the show can go

:08:41.:08:43.

on. But what can come out of the plants still causes concern for

:08:44.:08:47.

environmental groups. They say despite the health and safety

:08:48.:08:51.

assurances, they are worried about tiny particles which they s`y can

:08:52.:08:56.

still enter the atmosphere. We felt a long time that this is thd wrong

:08:57.:08:59.

solution for waste. It works against and against material reclaiming and

:09:00.:09:06.

energy conservation. We think there are a number of missed opportunities

:09:07.:09:09.

here to get a real sustainable policy and approach to waste within

:09:10.:09:15.

the South West. One of the remaining questions to be answered about the

:09:16.:09:19.

new energy from waste incinerators centres on the Ashley produce.

:09:20.:09:22.

Around a fifth of what goes into the new plants comes out as Ash. In

Exeter, that Ash is being transported outside the area

Exeter, that Ash is being transported outside the are` for

in Plymouth, there is no agreed place to dispose of the Ash.

More than 60 patients have been recalled following eye surgdry at

:09:40.:09:42.

The hospital has apologised to patients

:09:43.:09:45.

Well, we can join Janine Jansen now live in the newsroom, Janind,

:09:46.:09:50.

I spoke to the hospital this afternoon. They

:09:51.:09:57.

said they had a backlog of eye patients following staff

:09:58.:09:59.

problems and an increase in demand for services last winter.

:10:00.:10:04.

This led to a number of patients having to wait longer

:10:05.:10:09.

than they would have liked for their treatment. So

:10:10.:10:11.

they employed a private company, Vanguard Healthcare,

:10:12.:10:13.

which they have used before for other work, to carry out

:10:14.:10:17.

cataract surgery earlier thhs month to try to get through the backlog.

:10:18.:10:22.

They set up a mobile site and started to operate on around 400

:10:23.:10:26.

How was the hospital alerted to the problem?

:10:27.:10:35.

After just four days of treatment, Vanguard Healthcare

:10:36.:10:38.

A number of patients reported problems with blurred vision,

:10:39.:10:45.

which can be normal for somd people after cataract surgery but

:10:46.:10:48.

the hospital says it was concerned with the number of complaints.

:10:49.:10:51.

How has the hospital reacted to this?

:10:52.:10:58.

Musgrove Park Hospital immediately cancelled the contract with

:10:59.:11:01.

Vanguard Healthcare and they have begun an investigation.

:11:02.:11:03.

They say they've apologised to all the patients and most have already

:11:04.:11:06.

Sadly they say it means somd patients, many who've already waited

:11:07.:11:11.

longer than they should have, will now have to wait even longer

the measures already in place are enough and have told Mr Pattinson
