Sutton councillors criticise manhole thieves
More than 50 manhole covers have been stolen in the space of a week in Sutton.

"Gaping holes" had been left in roads in the borough, a council spokesman said.

Almost £2,500 has been spent on plastic covers to replace missing metal ones weighing up to 80kg. These can be sold for scrap at £100 a tonne.

Police have been liaising with local scrap-metal merchants to tell them about the problem.

And they asked anyone who saw a manhole cover being lifted on to a truck or into a van to note the registration number and dial 999.

'Harrowing' NHS treatment revealed

The Government Care Services Minister is encouraging nurses to whistleblow on their colleagues - after a shocking report into NHS standards.

The watchdog found instances of care of the elderly that it called 'harrowing'.

In one instance an elderly man was left in a waiting room for three hours at Ealing Hospital, before he was told his wife had passed away.

He’d been forgotten.

In another a man known as Mr L was given the wrong medication at Epsom’s West Park Hospital.

His condition deteriorated and he eventually died of pneumonia.

Director of Communications for the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman Claire Forbes spoke to Jackie.

In one case a man known as Mr W was discharged from St Peter’s Hospital in Ashford despite being malnourished and suffering an infection.

Investigations found staff had no right to discharge him and that they felt he was a ‘nuisance’ taking up a much-needed bed.

Director of Communications for the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman Claire Forbes told Jackie things have to change.
