The number of motorists in Kent arrested on suspicion of drug driving has doubled in a year.

New figures obtained by BBC Radio Kent show there were 218 arrests in 2016 - up from 103 the year before.

It coincides with the introduction of road-side testing kits two years ago.

Campaigners say there needs to be more awareness of the dangers of drug driving.

Michaela Groves from Biggin Hill has campaigned since the death of her 14-year-old niece Lillian in Croydon, south London.

You can hear what she thinks about the figures on the BBC Radio Kent Breakfast Show with John and Maggie by listening here .

Medway Maritime was in special measures for 41 months. 

It was supposed to come out after 12 months. 

It was in special measures longer than any other hospital in England. 

So when the chief executive stood up in front of a packed staff canteen and said the words "out of special measures", yes there was a cheer, but there was also relief and even a few tears of joy. 

Four and a half thousand people work for the trust. One of their senior staff told me they have endured four years of being told they were no good at their jobs. Today's news changes all that. 

Yes, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have some ongoing concerns. But when I first interviewed  Lesley Dwyer almost two years ago she said she thought her biggest "difficulty" would be to engage the staff and to "reignite" a sense of belief in those staff.

She would appear to have done that. The CQC highlighted the "commitments and hard work of the staff" in achieving this turnaround.

Coming out of special measures will endorse the work already done and encourage the belief from the Chief Executive that the trust can continue its progress towards a "good" or even "outstanding" rating in the future.

A hospital trust branded "inadequate" has been taken out of special measures after nearly four years.

Medway NHS Foundation Trust has made "substantial improvements", the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said.

Medway Maritime was one of 11 hospitals in England put into special measures following Sir Bruce Keogh's review of hospitals in July 2013. 

Previous inspections had highlighted concerns over patient safety, organisation and governance.   

Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt said: "Their journey hasn't been an easy one - some of the problems at Medway were deeply entrenched - which makes the achievement all the greater."

Chief inspector, Professor Sir Mike Richards, checked the trust over five days at the end of last year.

In his inspection report, he said: "There is no doubt that substantial improvements have been made. The leadership team is now fully established and there is a strong sense of forward momentum."
