A former manager of a Cornwall care home jailed for 21 months after the death of a resident had "no possible authorisation or justification" to say the home had no resuscitation policy, a Crown Court judge says.

Eighty-three-year-old Pam Barrett, who was living at the Ismeer Residential Care Home, near St Austell, died at the end of 2014.

Truro Crown Court heard that 42-year-old Lisa Thomas, who pleaded guilty to neglect on Tuesday, told staff not to ever attempt to resuscitate a resident after Ms Barrett was found apparently lifeless in her bed.

As well as admitting neglect, Thomas, from Landreath Place in St Blazey, also admitted carrying out frauds totalling more than £7,000 while at the home, and administering a prescription-only medicinal product without being an appropriate practitioner, relating to another resident.

Sentencing, the judge, Simon Carr, said: "You made it clear that the home had a no resuscitation policy. There was no possible authorisation or justification for this."

The home, which specialised in caring for people with dementia, has since closed.

Riverford said that they had sent a picture to Paignton Zoo in a bid to attempt to identify what species it was.

It added: "It came here by boat as we don’t air freight, so it was rather a long journey."

As his new owners try to identify what variety it is, a name for our African friend is also being sought. Do you have any suggestions? Do you know what species it is?

Archaeologists say pre-Roman Britons who lived in a rural location in Devon since the 4th Century BC may have enjoyed Mediterranean oil and wine.

Radiocarbon analysis of a dig site showed there was a settlement at Ipplepen for about 1,200 years longer than previously thought.

University of Exeter archaeologists are digging at the site this month.

The discovery of Roman pottery suggests there was a community trading widely with the Roman world. Archaeologists also said the samples were Roman amphora used to transport wine and olive oil.

A review into Devon's hospital services acknowledges that retaining emergency, maternity, neonatal and paediatric units at all four of Devon's hospitals - in Barnstaple, Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay - will be a challenge and further work is needed to ensure safe and resilient expertise is available day and night.

Demand for health services in Devon has risen by 50% in a decade, according to the Acute Services Review, published today.

Although it recommends hospitals retain the above facilities, a number of other services will see changes.

Among them, ENT [Ear, Nose & Throat] is recommended to operate from Exeter, Torbay and Plymouth, with a satellite service for north Devon. Neurology, which some people are waiting more than a year for, will be run through a Devon-wide referral system.

The review warns of "huge challenges" ahead for the NHS.
