The county councillor responsible for adult social care says they suspended new admissions to a Hadleigh care home when they heard of an incident where a resident was shut in a store cupboard.

Ipswich Hospital suspended admissions to Friars Hall on the back of that. 

Suffolk County Council followed suit, before allowing patients in their care to go there again at the end of 2015.

Councillor Beccy Hopfensperger said it's the council's policy that they will "only reintroduce new admissions once investigations have taken place, and any necessary improvements have been made".

She added: "It's about sustaining those improvements, and clearly they were unable to make a sustained improvement... and the care home itself made the decision to close the home."

Emergency services are at the scene of a serious collision that's closed the A142 north of Newmarket.

Police were called by the ambulance service at 06:45 to reports of a crash between a lorry and a bicycle.

The A142 is closed between Windmill Hill and the junction with Snailwell Road and Landwade Road, known locally as "Turner's roundabout".

Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible.

Healthwatch Suffolk, external say it is surprised that the county council continued to send people to Friars Hall nursing home in Hadleigh, if they were aware of patients being locked in cupboards.

Andy Yacoub said he didn't know what the council was made aware of, but that it would be surprising "if that's the kind of information they were receiving".

He said: "It sounds like a safeguarding referral was made for this gentleman, and the condition he was found in, and of course the other two people who were found in the room with him."

A report on the incident experienced by an family and their father was filed in February 2014, and Ipswich Hospital stopped sending patients to the home for nursing care after this.

Suffolk County Council, which was made aware of the report, continued to place people in the home up until October 2016.

We'll bring you reaction from the county council next.

A family say their father begged them not to leave him at a Hadleigh care home after he was shut in a store cupboard for hours. 

Bronwyn, who found her father calling for help and crying, said the incident left them concerned about the care he was receiving: "We felt if we were to leave my father there then what would happen to him even overnight?

"We just didn't know. 

"My dad begged us, he said to me 'even if you've got to break my legs to get me in the car you are not leaving me here. I'm begging you'."

There's further condemnation for a Hadleigh nursing home, after the family of a former resident said they found him shut in a store cupboard there.

Friars Hall, which shut suddenly just before Christmas, was slated in a report by the Care Quality Commission last week, which branded it inadequate, external.

Bronwyn contacted BBC Suffolk to say her father was sent to the home by Ipswich Hospital in 2014.

When they arrived, they heard him calling for help from a cupboard he'd been left in: "It really was just horrifying.

"I've only ever seen my dad cry when his mother died and when my mother died and so to see him so distraught was just horrendous. 

"It was for these other two people who were also in the store cupboard surrounded by ironing boards and things."

We've tried to get a response from Lalitha Samuel, director of Friars Hall, who didn't want to speak to us but said "she can't give us a comment at this juncture".

A patient evicted from hospital after spending more than two years in a bed declined all options offered, a council says.

Vicky Ford MEP (Conservative, East of England) has today been re-elected chairman of the European Parliament's influential Internal Market and Consumer Affairs Committee (IMCO).

Mrs Ford first became chairman in 2014 and was re-elected unopposed. She will hold the post until the end of the current parliament, in May 2019.

Mrs Ford hopes she will be able to help keep Brexit talks "amicable".  

"The IMCO Committee looks at the practical elements of removing barriers to trade across Europe," she said. "I hope that many of these practical co-operation networks will continue for both the UK and the rest of the EU post-Brexit.

"Re-confirming a UK Conservative in this important role confirms my view that many across Europe wish to maintain a close co-operative partnership with the UK, minimise barriers to trade and keep an amicable and open dialogue during all negotiations, including those on Brexit."

The number of IVF treatments available to couples is to remain at two courses across Ipswich, and East and West Suffolk. 

There were a series of objections as bosses in East and West Suffolk considered dropping treatments down to one or zero.

They launched a series of consultations and have taken account of the findings.

NHS managers proposed the cuts in the first place because of pressure on budgets. 

The decision comes after a statement last year from the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, which said there should not be a postcode lottery over IVF treatment, and local health spending groups should be funding the agreed amount of three treatments.

A post-mortem examination established he had died as the result of a head injury. An inquest into his death has yet to be held.

As we revealed earlier, the owner of the Norwich and Peterborough (N&P) building society is set to close 28 branches.

Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) said it would close the N&P branches and 20 YBS branches this year, putting 440 jobs at risk.

Mike Regnier, chief executive of YBS, said the closures were in the "long-term interests of our membership".

"The driving forces behind the proposed branch closures are shifts in market conditions and an increasing desire among customers to transact digitally rather than on the High Street."

The company said it would continue to have a High Street presence, but under the YBS brand only.

While Leiston's, external 31-goal striker Matt Blake has understandably taken a lot of plaudits this season, the man playing alongside him deserves credit, according to their manager.

Glenn Driver was quick to highlight the form of Niko Muir-Merchant (pictured) after last night's game at Wingate & Finchley.

"Niko's come in and done great," said Driver. "I've said time and time again that his hunger to play the game at 23 is very big and he's a good foil for Matt Blake."

Inspectors rated All Hallows as inadequate in three overall categories, including safety, following a visit in October.

They said risk wasn't properly managed and there wasn't proper recording of when medicines had been given. They also found care plans didn't reflect people's needs. 

All Hallows Healthcare Trust, external has issued a statement pledging to make improvements. 

"We fully accept the CQC’s report and apologise unreservedly," it said.

Meanwhile, Richard Bacon MP said: "Local people are fully aware of the exceptional contribution All Hallows makes to the community.

"However, there is no getting around the fact that this a highly critical report. I am confident that the hospital will continue with its outstanding work and remain a beacon of healing and peace of which we can be proud."
