:00:47. > :00:51.a vote of no`confidence in the handling of the matter by the health
:00:52. > :00:57.trust. Sonia Oliver's mother was refused a bed at the Torrington last
:00:58. > :01:02.July and since then things have gone from bad to worse. Care in the
:01:03. > :01:05.community is failing. I havd waited weeks for pressure mattressds or
:01:06. > :01:11.special blood tests that were urgent. I have been told th`t she
:01:12. > :01:17.cannot have her warfarin blood test done because there are no ntrses
:01:18. > :01:22.available to take it. I go hnto hospitals and icy trays of food

:01:48. > :01:50.make about the service that we are providing will use the opportunity
:01:51. > :01:56.to feedback to us. As usual it all boils down to money or more

:05:45. > :05:46.and windiest conditions will be to begin with. Rain spreading across
:05:47. > :05:52.some parts, some of which will be heavy. Strong winds across the South
:05:53. > :05:55.coast and then another surge which could cause some damage pushing in
:05:56. > :05:59.from the west later. The most persistent rain will be in Wales and
:06:00. > :06:03.the Midlands, many will turn dry and brighter through the afternoon. For
:06:04. > :06:07.the middle half of the country, just one or two showers to start off but
:06:08. > :06:09.signs we could see some persistent heavy rain to the east
