Changes to Oxfordshire children's centre plans dismissed by campaigners
Joe Nimmo
BBC News Online
Changes to plans to cut Oxfordshire children's centres after a consultation have been dismissed as "a few crumbs" by campaigners.
The council has proposed closing all 44 centres and replacing them with eight new facilities in a bid to save £8m, but has now said the eight centres would be accompanied by childcare at 11 of the existing centres until 2017.
Quote Message: They have suggested taking millions of pounds away and now they are throwing a few crumbs back to appease us. There was a huge response to the consultation, and I'm sure that's because most people wanted to save the centres. I think it would be really sad if this is all they do as a result. from Jill Huish Campaigner

Extra council funding 'won't stop cuts'
The leader of Oxfordshire County Council says extra temporary funding from the government is not enough to stop the planned cuts.
The county has been allocated an additional £4.5m for two years to support with the transition of services and the authority aims to set up a community fund to help local groups take on the running of services they want in their area.
Doctors 'should be valued'
Doctors should be paid extra for working unsociable hours, according to a GP registrar working in Oxford.
Quote Message: There are many people in the UK who work Saturdays with no additional rate, but for every one of those who work with no additional pay I can name many who do. Have you ever called a plumber out on a Saturday and not expected to pay a premium? Actually we feel that we should be valued. from Rachel Ward GP registrar

Junior doctors contract 'could be imposed'
The government should consider imposing its new contract on junior doctors, the chief executive of NHS providers which represent the trusts says.
Thousands of doctors have gone on strike after formal talks broke down in January.
Quote Message: Three thousand operations cancelled today; we can't carry on like this. We need to bring this to a conclusion. If the BMA won't accept a fair and reasonable offer, then yes, it is legitimate and sensible for the secretary of state to consider an imposition. from Chris Hopson Chief executive NHS Providers

Coming up on Drivetime with David Prever: Didcot Gateway
David Prever
BBC Radio Oxford
Tonight we'll find out whether multimillion-pound plans to redevelop land opposite Didcot railway station will be approved.
Some locals are concerned the £60m development would mean the loss of community facilities - and that South Oxfordshire District Council is both the applicant and the body who would grant permission.
Mr Cameron hit back by saying he would "increase the housing supply in the social sector" saying two new homes would be built for each one sold off by local authorities in London, where shortages are the most acute.
But Mr Corbyn said measures in the Housing Bill would result in the loss of 180,000 affordable homes while only one-in-every eight council homes sold under "right-to-buy" had been replaced with a social home.

This afternoon's top stories in Oxfordshire:
Cameron and Corbyn clash over 'right-to-buy'
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accused David Cameron of presiding over a "very damaging housing crisis," at Prime Minister's Questions, saying he had failed to replace homes sold off under "right-to-buy" which is being extended to housing association tenants in a trial in Oxfordshire and some other areas.
Mr Cameron hit back by saying he would "increase the housing supply in the social sector" saying two new homes would be built for each one sold off by local authorities in London, where shortages are the most acute.
But Mr Corbyn said measures in the Housing Bill would result in the loss of 180,000 affordable homes while only one-in-every eight council homes sold under "right-to-buy" had been replaced with a social home.
