Hospitals are sometimes failing to keep an eye on what they've loaned out and to who, with kit like wheelchairs and crutches going missing.

Some hospitals even refuse to collect it, saying it's cheaper to buy new gear.

The NHS in Barnsley is being held up as an example of how to save the health service thousands of pounds.

I've been to have a look around their recycling facility.

A man who committed what's been describes as a string of 'hideous' sex attacks against children in Rotherham will be sentenced today.

Corie Adams, 18, admitted a series of charges relating to girls aged between 12 and 14.

The offences took place January last year and early this year.

Police say Adams, who lived in Maltby, was such a prolific offender that there are probably other victims of his who have yet to come forward.

A man from Sheffield who was wrongly convicted of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl is considering taking legal action against South Yorkshire Police. 

Rassam Ali was cleared of the crime on appeal but only after he'd served 18 months in prison. 

He believes police failed to investigate the case properly and he was made a scapegoat because they were under heavy scrutiny following the Rotherham child sex grooming scandal:

South Yorkshire Police say they passed the evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service which brought a prosecution after determining there was a realistic prospect of conviction.

It said if he wishes Mr Ali could make a formal complaint to the force or through the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
