  2. New home for Bristol fertility centre?

    Fertility services at Southmead Hospital in Bristol are to be transferred to a new provider, the NHS has confirmed.

    The centre has seen a fall in patients since the number of free IVF cycles were rationed.

    Local clinical commissioning groups will now only fund one cycle of IVF - when the government regulator NICE recommend three.

    It's meant that doctors are mainly seeing couples who are paying for treatment.

    The Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group is now trying to find another provider. Bath's Fertility Centre is the only other registered one in the West.

    Nick Sharp is medical director there.

  3. The longest day ends

    The Summer Solstice has come to an end at sunset: 21:26 BST in Wiltshire.

    Thirteen thousand people watched the sunrise at Stonehenge 16 hours and 34 minutes ago, on the longest day of the year.

    Sun worshippers and Soltice celebrators had a rare chance to get up close to the monument for the annual event.

    Armed police were on patrol, and extra security measures were put in place following the recent terrorist attacks in London and Manchester.

    But Wiltshire Police said the event passed peacefully, with only seven "mostly drug-related" arrests.

  5. Iron Age roundhouse build is completed

    A group of veterans have completed this splendid looking Iron Age roundhouse, at Tedworth House in Wiltshire.

    The Help for Heroes Recovery Centre, in Tidworth, has been running the project, which aims to help service personnel and veterans improve their physical and mental well-being.

    The project began nearly two years ago and earlier today they celebrated their hard work, with what else? A themed party in fancy dress... in this heat!

    We love the final result:

  6. Who was the greatest Glastonbury headliner of all time?

    Thom Yorke of Radiohead

    Glasto has been graced with extraordinary headline acts from the start - but who was the best of them all? (Cue the debates in the office)

    Was it Glam-rock for you or Britpop? Perhaps even hip-hop?

    Here's a selection of great sets for your consideration, from T. Rex and a Cadillac, through to Suzanne Vega in a bulletproof vest, via Radiohead, JAY-Z then his wife Beyoncé with an unexpected guest...

    ...not to mention Adele just last year.

    Over to you to rank the best headliners in order.

    JAY-Z

    Let's see if this year's top dogs Radiohead, the Foos and/or Ed can produce equally legendary performances this time around.

    While we're on the subject, here's the full Glasto lineup for this year too.

  7. IVF mum 'angry' at fertility service change

    Fertility services at Southmead Hospital in Bristol are to be transferred to a new provider, the NHS has confirmed.

    They say not enough NHS patients are using the service because local clinical commissioning groups will now only fund one cycle of IVF: it means 60% of patients have to pay for their own treatment.

    Health correspondent Matthew Hill has been speaking to Paula McShane, who had to raise the money to pay for treatment herself.

    A spokesman for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCGs denied claims in the local media that the move would mean patients could be forced to travel outside the region.

    He added the process of assessing bids was under way and the new provider could be in place from December.

    Fertility services at Southmead Hospital in Bristol are to be transferred to a new provider, the NHS has confirmed.

    The problem is not enough NHS patients are going through its doors because local clinical commissioning groups will now only fund one cycle of IVF: it means 60% of patients have to pay for their own treatment.

    A spokesman for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCGs denied claims in the local media that the move would mean patients could be forced to travel outside the region.

    He added the process of assessing bids was under way and the new provider could be in place from December.

    There are around 3000 frozen eggs and other samples that have to, by law, be stored for up to 10 years at the facility, which any new provider would also expected to safeguard.

    Quote Message: The proposed location of services will be taken into account when assessing bids by prospective providers as we would not want patients to travel any further than is necessary for treatment. from Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCGs spokesman
