The Care Quality Commission, external has placed the Beggarwood Surgery in Broadmere Road, Basingstoke, into special measures after it received an "inadequate" rating.

Ruth Rankine, deputy chief inspector of general practice, said an inspection was carried out as a follow-up to an earlier CQC visit in May last year, when the surgery was rated "requires improvement".

She added: “It is worrying that despite the concerns and improvements identified at that first inspection, our team found a decline in the standards upon their return.

"Care plans were not always being entered into patients electronic records putting patients at risk of not receiving the right treatment and a lack of clarity over the safe monitoring of repeat prescriptions particularly for those using high risk drugs."

The practice will be re-inspected within six months to check whether improvements have been made.

It's looking like Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk will be a man in demand this summer.

Liverpool, Everton and Chelsea are all thought to be preparing bids for the former Celtic man, who hasn't played since January after picking up a pretty serious ankle injury.

There has been no bid for the 25-year-old yet - and Southampton executive director Les Reed is known for driving a hard bargain.

Van Dijk also has a long contract, to 2022, so whatever fee is eventually agreed, expect it to be a pretty big one.

Deborah Tann, chief executive of the trust, said: "Whilst it’s great that so many people say it’s important to help nature, we know that less than half of Southampton’s city-dwellers currently do anything themselves and many would like to do more.

"It’s vital that people realise how easy it is – no matter where you live – to make a difference."
