12, says Dr. Wasmeier. There is always going to be inconvenience when you have older people in an area that is not devoted to older people, she said. But, when I first came here two years ago, we had people in corridors, in corridor beds, with a curtain around them, no TV, no bathroom, no privacy and no confidentiality. We have all this gone. People are actually in a four-bed ward. It s not the same issue we had here for years

FIRE DRAMA
13:44 - 27 November 2007
A house in Bath was almost destroyed after an student tried to stop a blaze by throwing lit curtains on to a conservatory.The small fire had originally started in a waste paper bin in an first floor bedroom in the Lyndhurst Road property. It was caused by a cigarette which had not been put out properly.The home in Oldfield Park was occupied by four students.One of them tried to dampen the small blaze out with an extinguisher and realised a minor fire had spread to the curtains in the bedroom.
The curtains were then thrown from the bedroom window and landed on the conservatory below.The heat melted the roof of the conservatory, which dripped down and set fire to the conversatory and spread to the kitchen and downstairs bathroom causing considerable damage.The upstairs bedroom was also damaged in the blaze.Fire officers were called to the scene by which time all four occupants were outside.They used three pumps and a turntable ladder to tackle the blaze.An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said the incident highlighted two major safety issues.'Firstly if you are going to smoke in your home make sure you extinguish the cigarette properly.'And if you do come across a fire, close the door and get everyone out and call 999.'
