NHS Kernow has agreed to re-commission a health monitoring service after a seriously ill man from North Cornwall challenged its decision to stop offering it.

Solicitors acting for Ian Wyness from Davidstow argued that ending the Telehealth service was unlawful - something NHS Kernow denied.

Telehealth remotely monitors patients' vital signs and transmits the information via phone or broadband.

Earlier, at an NHS Kernow meeting, commissioners agreed on a different Telehealth service for a much smaller group of patients from the Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust from April 2018.

Barry Pring was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Kiev, Ukraine in 2008.

His family, who are based in Tiverton, has accused his widow, Ganna Ziuzina of a pre-arranged conspiracy.

Ms Ziuzina says Mr Pring's family is "completely wrong" in their belief and she has told the High Court it is the only legal forum where she can answer the "unfounded allegation" against her.

Today's judgement could grant a High Court trial that would give Ms Ziuzina a chance to clear her name and get a share of Mr Pring's £2m estate.

A unique fishing vessel, discovered rotting away in a Sussex boatyard, is returning to the Cornish fishing village where she was built about 100 years ago.

The PZ 134 Ocean Pride is the only counter-stern lugger left in the country and she's on her way to Newlyn where the hope is she will be restored to her former glory.

Coxswain of the Penlee Lifeboat, Patch Harvey - whose grandfather used to own the Ocean Pride - said he stumbled across her by accident.

"One evening, looking at Facebook, some photographs popped up of this old, derelict boat not looking in a very good state. And then it just dawned on me it was the Ocean Pride.

"From then on, I just talked to a few people about it and the chances of maybe getting her back and it's just gone from strength to strength."

The case of a Devon-born businessman who died after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in Ukraine could be looked at in a High Court trial - if his widow's request is granted.

Barry Pring died in Kiev nearly 10 years ago in February 2008, when he and his wife Ganna Ziuzina were trying to hail a taxi home after a meal celebrating their first wedding anniversary.

His family, who live in the Tiverton area, have accused Ms Ziuzina of taking part in a pre-arranged conspiracy or contract killing.

A judgement could grant a High Court trial which would give Ms Ziuzina a chance to clear her name and get a share of Mr Pring's £2m estate which has been frozen because of the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
