Let's take a look at the final proposals to switch services within Worcestershire's main hospitals.

NHS bosses will meet on Wednesday to decide whether to impose the reorganisation.

• A 102 page business case has been published today, with 12 recommendations about how to make them safe and sustainable
• The logic behind the changes is to make the three main hospitals - Worcestershire Royal; Alexandra and Kidderminster - quicker; safer and cheaper to run by separating emergency care from what's called elective or planned care
• A 12-week consultation highlighted how residents in North Worcestershire strongly object to the removal of maternity, neonatal care, and A&E for children from Redditch

The police say calls about anti-social behaviour, noisy neighbours, dogs stuck in cars and people playing in dangerous water make up the bulk of their extra calls in hot weather.

The Warwickshire and West Mercia forces say they took more 999 calls this morning than on New Years Eve and believe the hot weather is the cause.

And the call-handlers say that when it's warm alcohol is quite often cause anti-social behaviour and disputes between neighbours.

Hundreds of mourners, including politicians from all parties, have gathered in Hereford today to pay their respects to the city's former MP Paul Keetch.

The Liberal Democrat politician, who served as the city's MP for 13 years, died in May, after a long period of ill health.

A memorial service was held at the cathedral and afterwards Paul's former wife Claire Keetch paid tribute to a man she knew as a "true Herefordian".

"He was just the most gregarious, generous, loving - sometimes annoying - person and I'm just privileged to have been part of his life to help him realise his dream of becoming member of parliament for Hereford," she said.

Guests included former Labour MP Gisela Stuart, former Lib Dem MP Sir Simon Hughes and the current MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire, Jesse Norman.

A business in Bewdley has criticised Severn Trent's response to a water outage in the town.

Residents in the Rock area were the worst affected, with some residents being without water for 48 hours.

Mark Lagamarsino, from Ice Alpines nusery, says the hot weather means his plants have needed the water.

Severn Trent has apologised to those affected by the problems over the past few days.

In a statement, they said: "We were working around the clock and faced a number of issues and complications as we worked to get everything back to normal."

So says Ben Nutt - winner of Premiership Rugby's BreakThru Achiever award this week - about HITZ,, external the grassroots rugby programme that has helped him turn his life around.

Ahead of arguably the biggest game in world rugby tomorrow, it's worth taking a minute to remember those at the other end of the pyramid - volunteers whose efforts are the foundation of our domestic game and have been rightly rewarded by the organisers of English rugby's top-flight.

Not really an issue for West Mercia Police.

A final decision on whether to reorganise Worcestershire's main hospitals is to be made next Wednesday.

Clinicians and health managers from across the county will vote on whether to move some emergency services, hospital births and neonatal care permanently from Redditch's Alexandra Hospital to the Worcestershire Royal.

A business case has been published today and here's some of the detail:

• The county's CCG's to call for access to maternity services to be treated as a priority, and say services should be looked at again before the end of the decade
• They also say some form of emergency care for children - an urgent care unit - should remain at the Alex
• Clinicians and health managers at the CCGs believe these changes will only work if millions of pounds is pumped into the NHS in the county
• The business case calls for an additional £29m investment, with money being spent on better operating theatres and a new women's centre at the Alex, and increased car parking at the Worcestershire Royal

There have been more 999 calls to West Mercia and Warwickshire police this morning than there were on New Year's Eve.

The forces say they've also received almost double the number of calls to their 101 non-emergency number and that they often see spikes like this in hot weather.

They're urging people only to call 999 in a genuine emergency.

A man who drove more than 10 miles the wrong way down the M40 when drunk has been jailed for 19 months.

Tony Chapman, from Tamworth in Arden, was eventually brought to a halt by police, who'd closed the carriageway after he was seen weaving across the road in Warwickshire.

Officers had to use "tactical contact" to force the car against the central reservation as it left the M40 in Worcestershire to go on to the M42.

During a police interview he said he had no recollection of driving the car.

At Worcester Crown Court yesterday the 62-year-old admitted dangerous driving, driving while drunk, possession of cannabis, and taking a vehicle without consent.

After years of delay, a final decision on whether to reorganise Worcestershire's main hospitals is to be made next Wednesday.

Clinicians and health managers from across the county will vote on plans, which would see some emergency services, hospital births and neonatal care move permanently from Redditch's Alexandra Hospital, to the Worcestershire Royal.

All three of the county's clinical commissioning groups will meet in Bromsgrove on Wednesday.

The plans are controversial however, and those behind them say doctors and nurses back them.

But over recent years the changes have prompted mass resignations of consultants, as well as protests and campaigns in Redditch.

Restrictions to how much IVF treatment couples in Worcestershire can access on the NHS amount to a "race to the bottom", according to the national fertility charity Fertility Fairness.

It said the move would mean the treatment would only be available to the well-off.

The move, which will see couples offered just one cycle of assisted conception on the NHS, were approved by the county's clinical commissioning groups.

They are estimated to save the local health service around £250,000 a year.
