A bowel cancer survivor has spoken of her distress after a two year delay in removing a stoma bag from her abdomen.

Anita Hyam said she is in constant pain and sleeps sitting up due to the bag and tube left behind unnecessarily.
Ms Hyam revealed she has suffered two hernias as a result and now needs "15 pills to get through the day".
The Royal Sussex County Hospital has apologised for the "unacceptable" delay, blaming "insufficient capacity".
Ms Hyam had an operation on her bowel to remove a lump two and a half years ago and the bag was due to be removed six months later.
Her experience of the hospital was good, her cancer operation a success and she was well cared for, she said.
But she said her experience since had left her feeling "degraded".
Three letters from her GP had failed to secure the bag's removal, she said.
One operation was arranged in Guildford but that had to be cancelled because of the complications the bag had caused.
Her daughter, Debi Whitehorn, said: "Mum has no quality of life.  I just think it's wrong."
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust apologised unreservedly for the "unacceptable length of time" Ms Hyam has had to wait.
It said an operation had been booked for next month and added: "This is certainly not the standard of care we want for our patients and we do not underestimate the distress and frustration this has caused her...
"Regrettably, we have had insufficient outpatient and theatre capacity to treat all patients within the recommended timeframe and as a result we have had to treat patients in order of clinical urgency."
It said it is working to address the situation.


Sainsbury's will cut 500 jobs at its store support centres as part of its plans to cut costs.

The cut represents about 13% of staff in the roles affected, the supermarket chain said.
But the reduction in staff could affect more people as the supermarket abolishes some jobs and moves workers to other roles.
In November, Sainsbury's said it planned to make Â£500m of savings in the next three years.
There will be a consultation process to decide precisely which jobs will go.
"We want to work through this period of uncertainty as quickly as possible, while making sure we consult with colleagues who are affected by these changes," chief executive Mike Coupe said in a letter to staff.
"We're committed to treating all impacted colleagues with respect, during what we know will be a difficult time."
Britain's biggest supermarkets are trying to claw back custom from discount stores such as Lidl and Aldi and are cutting costs to reduce prices.
Tesco has said it will close 43 unprofitable stores across the UK - more than half of which will be local convenience shops, known as Tesco Express.
The firm is also shelving plans to open a further 49 new "very large" stores.
Morrisons said it would close 10 loss-making stores in 2015.


The shape of multicoloured three-dimensional puzzle Rubik's Cube is not a trademark, the European Court of Justice has ruled.

It means the shape of the cube alone is not enough to protect it from being copied.
UK company Seven Towns, which manages Rubik's Cube's intellectual property rights, registered its shape as a trademark in the 1990s.
But German firm Simba Toys challenged the trademark protection in 2006.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) agreed that the cube's ability to rotate should be protected by a patent and not a trademark.
Patents protect inventions for a certain amount of time, while trademarks give intellectual property owners exclusive rights to their designs.
Simba Toys took its case to the Luxembourg-based European Union Court of Justice (ECJ) after the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and a lower EU court had dismissed its lawsuit.
The ECJ judges ruled: "In examining whether registration ought to be refused on the ground that shape involved a technical solution, EUIPO and the General Court should also have taken into account non-visible functional elements represented by that shape, such as its rotating capability."
Rubik's Cube, which was invented in 1974 by Hungarian architecture professor Erno Rubik, has enduring popularity and has sold more than 400 million cubes worldwide.
Seven Towns registered the Rubik's Cube as a three-dimensional EU trademark with the EUIPO in 1999.
As part of the Simba Toys challenge, in 2014 the European Union General Court decided the three-dimensional trademark was valid, and ordered Simba to pay costs.
Alex Brodie, a partner at Gowling WLG, said that the judgement was "no surprise" given the ECJ handed down a similar decision regarding Lego bricks in 2010.
She said: "The Rubik brand still stands but it doesn't have a monopoly on the shape of the cube puzzle under trade mark law.
"Others are now free to create such a puzzle - provided Rubik doesn't have other IP rights - but they cannot call it Rubik and they cannot copy the get up of Rubik - this decision is solely about the shape of the product."
"We wait to see whether the consumer market is waiting for an alternative cube puzzle and how this judgment will in fact affect the puzzle market," Ms Brodie said.
However, she added that there will probably be a greater impact on toy and games firms reviewing their three-dimensional trademark registrations.


Wasps director of rugby Dai Young has been told that Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny will not be playing in the Premiership for them next season.

The Ricoh Arena had been earmarked as an option for the injured 27-year-old British & Irish Lions star when his contract at Toulon expires this summer.
"He was always a bit of a long shot," Young told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.
"He's certainly not pursuing Wasps as one of the options he wants to take forward."
Young, a former Wales and British & Irish Lions prop, continued: "It's part and parcel of the professional game. There were one or two other options that he's got.
"We just wanted to be in the mix if he decides to come to the Premiership, but we've been led to believe that he's pretty much decided not to take up an offer from the Premiership, which would be us."
Halfpenny, who has been with French side Toulon since 2014, has not played this season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his right knee in a World Cup warm-up game for Wales in September which forced him to miss the competition.
He is expected to miss this year's Six Nations Championship, having had to undergo reconstructive surgery.
His former side Cardiff Blues want him back, while Scarlets have said that they would be keen to take him back to Wales. Halfpenny has the option of another season in Toulon and looks increasingly likely to trigger that clause in his contract.
Wasps, ninth in the Premiership, having won just three of their eight games this season, currently have Rob Miller at full-back.
Swansea-born Halfpenny has so far amassed 508 points in 62 Wales internationals, making him the their third highest all-time scorer, behind Neil Jenkins (1,049) and Stephen Jones (917).
He was player of the series on the British and Irish Lions' victorious tour of Australia in 2013, breaking the records for most points in a series (41, held by Jenkins) and in one Test (19).
Halfpenny is just 38 short of 1,000 points in his collective club rugby career for Cardiff, Cardiff Blues and Toulon.


Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott has dismissed as "trivia" a media row over the treatment of the gay partner of his ambassador to France.

Australia media reported that Stephen Brady's partner of 32 years was barred from an airport greeting party.
Peter Stephens was reportedly told to "wait in the car" rather than join Mr Brady on the tarmac to meet Mr Abbott.
Mr Brady offered to resign after ignoring the instructions, which Mr Abbott said were not from him.
The incident happened in April, as Mr Abbott was flying into Paris from Turkey where he had been marking Anzac Day.
He was not travelling with his wife, so under normal diplomatic protocol the receiving ambassador would be expected to welcome him without his or her partner as well.
The prime minister's office said he had been "very happy to be met by ambassador Brady and his partner when he arrived in Paris last month".
Mr Abbott said on Wednesday that there was "some issue at the level of junior officials and I don't concern myself with these things".
He said Mr Brady was "a fine servant of Australia, a really fine servant of Australia. He's a friend of mine, always has been and as far as I'm concerned always will be".
Opposition leader Bill Shorten, however, said that if the report was true Mr Brady and Mr Stephens "deserve an apology".
Australia largely has progressive attitudes towards homosexuality though it does not allow same-sex marriages.
Parliament voted down a bill to legalise it in 2012, and Mr Abbott has expressed personal opposition.
Earlier this week, some of Australia's most prominent business leaders came together to call for marriage equality.
The CEO of national airline Qantas, Alan Joyce - who is himself gay - said it would show young gay Australians that "they're not in some way second-class citizens".


Plans for a 400-mile subsea power cable linking Scotland and Norway have been given a boost after the EU agreed to part-fund its development phase.

Scandinavian consortium NorthConnect said it was eligible for more than 10 million euros of EU cash to support its electricity interconnector plans.
The project was given the green light by regulator Ofgem last year.
NorthConnect plans to build a Â£1.3bn power cable between Boddam in Aberdeenshire and Eidfjord in Norway.
The project aims to link hydro power from Norway with wind energy from Scotland.
It is scheduled to start operating from 2022.
The European funding is coming from the Connecting Europe Facility, the EU's support programme for infrastructure.
NorthConnect's deputy project manager, Richard Blanchfield, said: "The decision demonstrates that the European Union considers the NorthConnect Project important to achieving the strategic goals of increasing security of energy supply, and contributing to sustainable development by integrating renewable energy sources across the European Union."
In 2015, Aberdeenshire Council approved an application by the consortium to build an electricity converter station and underground cables at Boddam.
The converter station and onshore cables are required to connect the interconnector cable to the National Grid.
Interconnectors are transmission cables that allow electricity to flow from one country to another.
Responding to the EU funding announcement, WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: "If Scotland and the rest of Europe are to move to a 100% renewable future then greater use of interconnectors is an essential part of that future.
"Greater interconnection brings the double benefits of ensuring security of supply and removing the need to build lots of expensive new nuclear or fossil fuel power stations.
"Sharing different renewable resources between nations allows us to fulfil our renewable energy potential and drive down climate emissions across northern Europe, much more effectively than relying on domestic action alone."
NorthConnect is jointly owned by Swedish utility Vattenfall and Norwegian companies E-CO Energi, Agder Energi and Lyse.


Borders between countries will become "irrelevant" by the end of the century and the UK should prepare for that, John McDonnell has said.

The shadow chancellor said a borderless world was inevitable and people were already "ignoring" existing borders.
He also said the UK should be doing more to help the millions of migrants arriving in the European Union.
Mr McDonnell gave a speech in 2013 in which he suggested borders could become a thing of the past.
Asked to elaborate on this theory, by writer Rahil Gupta, Mr McDonnell said: "Inevitably in this century we will have open borders. We are seeing it in Europe already.
"The movement of peoples across the globe will mean that borders are almost going to become irrelevant by the end of this century so we should be preparing for that and explaining why people move."
In an interview with the BBC's Sunday Politics, he said borders will become increasingly difficult to maintain over the next 75 years and will eventually disappear, adding: "We should be opening up the debate of how we handle that."
Mr McDonnell stressed the need to deal with the causes of mass migration: Poverty, conflict and climate change but added: "We are seeing people ignoring borders already as they fly from Syria."
Current estimates suggest close to four million migrants will arrive in the EU between 2015 and 2017.
Mr McDonnell said the UK should take its fair share of that number.
He was unable to say how many people the UK should help but suggested the country should be a part of the EU's refugee quota scheme.
"I think we should cooperate with others and carry the burden because we are seeing, as in the refugee crisis, the majority of Britons want us to rise to that and ensure that we assist others and that others aren't suffering and that we don't stand on one side while people suffer."


Japan's foreign minister has warned that ties with China are "significantly deteriorating", after Chinese vessels repeatedly entered disputed waters in the East China Sea.

Fumio Kishida said he had called China's ambassador to protest against the "incursions".
On Friday, about 230 Chinese fishing boats and coast guard vessels sailed near islands claimed by both countries.
Beijing has been increasingly assertive about waters it believes are Chinese.
The Japan-controlled, uninhabited islands - known as the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China - are the source of a long-running dispute.
The Japanese coast guard said on Monday that about 13 Chinese coast guard ships, some of them armed, had been seen near the islands, higher than the usual number.
"The situation surrounding the Japan-China relationship is significantly deteriorating," Mr Kishida told Cheng Yonghua, Beijing's envoy to Tokyo, according to a statement on the foreign ministry website.
"We cannot accept that [China] is taking actions that unilaterally raise tensions."
Mr Kishida said he had lodged repeated protests since Friday about the "incursion and violation of our sovereignty". He said China should withdraw its official vessels immediately.
Mr Cheng reiterated China's claim over the area at the meeting, he told reporters, and asked for both countries to continue to have dialogue.
He also said the increase in number of coast guard ships was to oversee the increased fishing in the area by Chinese boats, according to AP news agency.
"Please understand that it's an effort by the Chinese side to avoid further complications to the situation," AP quoted Mr Cheng as saying.
In July, China rejected an international tribunal ruling that its claims have no rights in the South China Sea, raising tensions with neighbours who have competing claims in the area.
The case was brought to the Permanent Court of Arbitration by the Philippines, which has seen disputes flare up with China over fishing grounds near the Scarborough Shoal and Spratly Islands in particular.
China has indicated it is open to talks with the Philippines outside the tribunal ruling to settle the dispute.
On Tuesday, former Philippines president Fidel Ramos, chosen by Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte as envoy to pave the way for talks, was in Hong Kong meeting with Beijing-linked contacts.
Meanwhile, a Washington-based think tank says satellite images show China appears to be building aircraft hangars on disputed islands in the South China Sea.
Pictures from late July show hangars on Fiery Cross, Subi and Mischief Reefs in the Spratly islands that could fit fighter jets, the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said.
Beijing claims most of the South China Sea and has been building runways and other structures on disputed islands, amid international concerns it is militarising the area.
This has raised alarm with its neighbours, including Vietnam and the Philippines, who also claim parts of the South China Sea.


Mountain rescue teams and an Inverness Coastguard helicopter crew have rescued a fallen climber.

Police in Aviemore were alerted to the climber's fall at Aladdin's Couloir, Coire an t-Sneachda, in the Northern Corries at about midday.
Members of Cairngorm MRT and rescue personnel at Glenmore Lodge went to his aid.
The helicopter based at Inverness Airport has airlifted the injured climber to Aberdeen Royal infirmary.
He suffered serious head injuries in the fall.


AFC Wimbledon recorded their first-ever win over Oxford with victory at the Kassam Stadium to extend their unbeaten run to five matches in League One.

The Dons had failed to win in 12 previous attempts against their bogey team, but a stunning first half saw them three goals up at the break.
Tom Elliott headed the visitors in front from close range following a 20th-minute corner which Darius Charles nodded back across goal from the far post.
Liam Sercombe went close to levelling soon after when he shot just wide after a sharp turn.
But Charles scored a spectacular second goal in the 42nd minute, curling the ball into the top corner from 20 yards as Oxford's players protested about what looked like a dangerous tackle on Wes Thomas by Dean Parrett.
Oxford's players were still rattled by that controversial decision when Andy Barcham ran through the middle in first-half stoppage-time and slotted home Jake Reeves' pass under goalkeeper Simon Eastwood.
The hosts pulled a goal back four minutes into the second half when Charles turned Chris Maguire's cross into his own net.
Barry Fuller headed Phil Edwards' effort off the line as the home side tried to come back but they lost Joe Skarz to a shoulder injury, and their second-half fight back petered out.
The win, coupled with MK Dons' defeat by Port Vale, moved Wimbledon up to 10th and above Dons in the league table for the first time in their history.

A book with pages that can be torn out to filter drinking water has proved effective in its first field trials.

The "drinkable book" combines treated paper with printed information on how and why water should be filtered.
Its pages contain nanoparticles of silver or copper, which kill bacteria in the water as it passes through.
In trials at 25 contaminated water sources in South Africa, Ghana and Bangladesh, the paper successfully removed more than 99% of bacteria.
The resulting levels of contamination are similar to US tap water, the researchers say. Tiny amounts of silver or copper also leeched into the water, but these were well below safety limits.
The results were presented at the 250th national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, US.
Dr Teri Dankovich, a postdoctoral researcher at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, developed and tested the technology for the book over several years, working at McGill University in Canada and then at the University of Virginia.
"It's directed towards communities in developing countries," Dr Dankovich said, noting that 663 million people around the world do not have access to clean drinking water.
"All you need to do is tear out a paper, put it in a simple filter holder and pour water into it from rivers, streams, wells etc and out comes clean water - and dead bacteria as well," she told BBC news.
The bugs absorb silver or copper ions - depending on the nanoparticles used - as they percolate through the page.
"Ions come off the surface of the nanoparticles, and those are absorbed by the microbes," Dr Dankovich explained.
According to her tests, one page can clean up to 100 litres of water. A book could filter one person's water supply for four years.
Dr Dankovich had already tested the paper in the lab using artificially contaminated water. Success there led to the field trials which she conducted over the past two years, working with the charities Water is Life and iDE.
In these trials, the bacteria count in the water samples plummeted by well over 99% on average - and in most samples, it dropped to zero.
"Greater than 90% of the samples had basically no viable bacteria in them, after we filtered the water through the paper," Dr Dankovich said.
"It's really exciting to see that not only can this paper work in lab models, but it also has shown success with real water sources that people are using."
One location gave the paper a particularly tough challenge.
"There was one site where there was literally raw sewage being dumped into the stream, which had very high levels of bacteria.
"But we were really impressed with the performance of the paper; it was able to kill the bacteria almost completely in those samples. And they were pretty gross to start with, so we thought - if it can do this, it can probably do a lot."
Dr Dankovich and her colleagues are hoping to step up production of the paper, which she and her students currently make by hand, and move on to trials in which local residents use the filters themselves.
"We need to get it into people's hands to see more of what the effects are going to be. There's only so much you can do when you're a scientist on your own."
For example, Dr Dankovich's work with iDE in Bangladesh has explored whether a filter, holding one of the book pages, could be fitted into a "kolshi" - the traditional water container used by many Bangladeshis.
Dr Daniele Lantagne, an environmental engineer at Tufts University, said the data from the trials showed promise.
"There's a lot of interest in developing new products for point-of-use water treatment," she told the BBC.
The "drinkable book" has now passed two key stages - showing that it works in the lab, and on real water sources.
Next, Dr Lantagne said, the team will need "a commercialisable, scalable product design" for a device that the pages slot into.
She also said that while the paper appears to kill bacteria successfully, it is unclear whether it would remove other disease-causing micro-organisms.
"I would want to see results for protozoa and viruses," she said.
"This is promising but it's not going to save the world tomorrow. They've completed an important step and there are more to go through."
Dr Kyle Doudrick studies sustainable water treatment at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. He agreed that the book system would be especially powerful if it could also tackle non-bacterial infections, such as the tiny parasite cryptosporidium which recently caused a health scare in Lancashire.
He also said it would be important to make sure people understood how to use the filters - and how often to change them. But he was encouraged by the trial results.
"Overall, out of all the technologies that are available - ceramic filters, UV sterilisation and so on - this is a promising one, because it's cheap, and it's a catchy idea that people can get hold of and understand."

A small Canadian town has launched a first-of-its-kind ride sharing-transit partnership with Uber.

Innisfil will subsidise a portion of the fare for all trips with the taxi firm taken by residents within the town's boundaries.
Officials say the deal offers more flexibility for residents and is cheaper than adding a town bus service.
Uber Canada public policy manager Chris Schafer says the project has sparked global interest.
The cost of a ride to any four of the community's transport or recreation hubs will cost residents between C$3 (US$2.20/Â£1.70) and C$5 (US$3.60/Â£2.80).
They will also get a C$5 discount on any custom trip within Innisfil, a lake-side Ontario town of about 36,000 people 100 km (62 miles) north of Toronto.
Tim Cane, the town's land use planning manager, said Innisfil had been struggling to figure out an affordable transport model that would serve an area over 290 square km (110 square miles).
A bus would have cost the town $270,000 annually for one route and $610,000 for two, which they thought would be too expensive, Mr Cane added.
Mr Cane said the town council wrestled for years with the question: "How do we afford a transit model that on a good day would serve maybe 20% of the population?"
Senior Innisfil official Jason Reynar issued his staff the challenge, and the idea for a "demand-responsive transit service" was born.
But one cab company owner has expressed frustration.
Global Taxi owner Manjot Saini told the CP24 news station that Uber puts local taxis at a disadvantage. He worries he might lose drivers to the competition.
"Uber is destroying the industry," he said.
Mr Cane said the town consulted with the three local companies early in the process and the programme was "never about Uber versus taxis" but about providing a service to residents.
"Let's just try this on," said Mr Cane. "Whatever service we provide is better than a service we don't have."
The community has set aside $100,000 for the programme's initial 6-9 month phase and another $125,000 for the indeterminate second phase.


A businessman in eastern Canada is launching an Uber-like snow plough business - Plow Me Out.

Sean Griffith, of New Brunswick province, is connecting customers with a dozen snow plough operators, who can click on his site to accept a job.
Canada's Atlantic provinces see as much as 322cm (127in) in the average winter.
Mr Griffith, who is launching the service in Halifax, Moncton and other eastern cities in January, says he plans to expand across the country.
"You set your alarm for 4am because you know it's going to take you two hours to shovel 30cm of snow before you can get your car out," he told the BBC.
"And then you have to go to work - tired."
Mr Griffith says he got the idea for Plow Me Out last year, when the winter in Atlantic provinces was particularly severe.
The average price for ploughing is between $30-45 (Â£20-30).
An American app, called PlowMe, offers a similar service in Massachusetts.


Ferguson Marine shipyard in Port Glasgow is to take on 150 new apprentices - two years after being saved from closure.

Shipbuilding looked to have ended at the Inverclyde site when the yard went into administration in August 2014.
It was later taken over by Clyde Blowers Capital and now has about £110m worth of orders and a workforce of 150.
Ferguson made the announcement to coincide with the start of Scottish Apprenticeship Week.
Director Liam Campbell said: "Apprenticeships are extremely important to us and our business, forming the backbone of our future growth.
"We are a company experiencing rapid growth and change that will ensure our position as a leading European fabricator in offshore, subsea, renewables and shipbuilding."
Fair Work and Skills Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said the announcement was "great news, not only for Ferguson Marine, and the young people that will benefit, but also for Scotland as a whole".


The events of the past 24 hours have revealed in public the tensions, and sometimes the fury, that have existed since both Iain Duncan Smith and George Osborne came into power in 2010.

A combative, sometimes prickly individual with a missionary zeal to reform welfare having to take instructions from his one-time staffer was always an uneasy relationship.
Often, Mr Duncan Smith - with the prime minister's support - managed to rebuff Treasury requests to simply save money.
But there was long a sense that Mr Osborne and his team tolerated the Department for Work and Pensions rather than whole-heartedly bought into the reforms.
Mr Duncan Smith will point to the remarkable rise in employment levels since 2010 as evidence that his welfare changes are working.
Making work pay was the defining characteristic of his approach.
The wasted lives he encountered during a visit to the Easterhouse estate in Glasgow when he was Tory leader scarred and invigorated him.
He created a think tank, the Centre for Social Justice, where he incubated many of the ideas he would bring to Whitehall.
Pensions aside, no major area of welfare policy escaped his advances. Unemployment, housing, sickness and disability benefits were all remodelled.
The sanctions regime, penalising people for not sticking closely to benefit rules, which was introduced by Labour, was extended and toughened.
Mr Duncan Smith vehemently denied the stricter system had caused the explosion in food bank usage, or a number of deaths, as his opponents claimed.
But the speed at which all the changes were attempted meant there were huge problems implementing the policies.
Large backlogs built up for both sickness and disability benefit claimants - at one point the helpline for people inquiring about their claim for Personal Independence Payments told them to hang up if they'd been waiting fewer than six months.
The biggest delays surround Mr Duncan Smith's most fundamental reform, Universal Credit.
The concept, bringing six separate benefits together into one monthly payment, is widely supported.
But again its implementation has been beset by problems.
IT failures have led to tens of millions of pounds being written off, costs have hugely increased and the whole scheme, originally intended to be completely operational by 2017, isn't now scheduled to be fully rolled out until 2021.
Whether to go ahead with Universal Credit, at least in its current form, will be one of Stephen Crabb's biggest early decisions.
The former Welsh secretary takes over a post that has drawn extraordinary levels of criticism to it in recent years.
Mr Duncan Smith's manner - often brusque, high-handed and dismissive - meant he was regularly personally vilified.
Mr Crabb has the opportunity to change the tone on welfare even though the reforms will continue.


Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall says his side can still improve despite securing back-to-back European titles.

Sarries beat Clermont Auvergne 28-17 at Murrayfield on Saturday to remain on course for an historic 'double-double' of continental and English crowns.
Their quest continues with a trip to Exeter in the first of next Saturday's Premiership semi-finals.
"If we're hungry enough and humble enough, then there's no reason why we can't get better," McCall said.
"The age profile of the group is good and the manner in which we won was encouraging."
If they overcome Exeter next Saturday, Saracens will face either Wasps or Leicester in the Premiership final at Twickenham on Saturday 27 May.
Saracens winger Chris Ashton opened the scoring in the 13th minute with his 37th try in the competition, setting a new European cup try-scoring record in the process.
He raced on to Alex Goode's precise grubber kick for his historic try, and was quick to praise his team-mates when asked about the record.
"I won't lie, I'm pretty happy about it," he said. "But I think a lot of it is down to the group I've been playing with the last five years.
"It's nice for my name to be up there but a lot of the credit belongs to this club."
The former England winger ends his five years at Saracens in the summer to join French Top 14 side Toulon, and he confessed to feeling sad about his departure.
"I am going to miss it. I've had five amazing years here," he said. "I've had unbelievable highs and definitely some lows along there.
"The support I've had from the players and the coaching staff has been phenomenal, so it will be a sad day when I do leave."
Goode scored the try which all but secured Saracens' second European crown and has shone again on the European stage this season.
The 28-year-old - like Ashton - has been overlooked by England, with the last of his 21 caps coming in a rare start as full-back against Fiji in 2016.
But last season's Premiership player of the season is enjoying club rugby.
"We have a young squad and one that is very hungry to keep improving," he said. "It was a joy to be on the field with the rest of the team.
"The strength of the group is that we are constantly looking to improve and get better and we never feel like we are the finished article."


EU leaders have to hold a "serious debate with no taboos" on David Cameron's reform demands, European Council president Donald Tusk has said.

In a letter inviting leaders to this week's summit, Mr Tusk warned of "high stakes" and said while "significant progress" had been made in talks the EU was still "far from an agreement".
The PM's proposals are due to be discussed over dinner in Brussels.
His spokeswoman predicted a "full, substantive, frank discussion".
Mr Cameron wants to reform the UK's relations with the EU before a referendum on the UK's membership.
He set out his intentions in phone calls with Mr Tusk as well as German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Tuesday, Downing Street said.
A final agreement is not expected to be reached at the summit, which starts on Thursday, but Mr Tusk says it should "pave the way" for an agreement by February's gathering.
In his letter, he said the discussions should focus on the "most controversial" elements of Mr Cameron's demands, which are likely to centre on his calls for a four-year wait before EU migrants can receive working-age benefits.
"The stakes are so high that we cannot escape a serious debate with no taboos," Mr Tusk said.
As well as the welfare curb, which is aimed at cutting EU migration, the PM is also calling for protection for countries not using the euro currency, measures to boost competitiveness and exempting Britain from the drive towards an "ever-closer union".
His spokeswoman said the summit was "an important milestone in the UK renegotiating its relationship with the EU" and would include a frank discussion on the "sensitive topics" of migration and welfare.
Mr Cameron, who discussed his reform plans with Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka on the phone on Tuesday, has been warned by a committee of MPs he cannot achieve fundamental reforms without changing the EU's treaties - and that there is not enough time for this to happen before the referendum, promised before the end of 2017.
No 10 agreed that the "legally binding, irreversible" changes being demanded by Mr Cameron will need treaty changes.
But a spokesman said this did not need to happen before a referendum, which must be held by 2018.
Also on the agenda for the EU Council meeting will be the migrant crisis, with the EU aiming to "regain control" of its external borders which have not been secure enough, Mr Tusk said.
"The protection of our external borders is not intended to scare off those who flee wars or persecution. Europe is a community of freedom and will always provide shelter for those in danger," he added.
The leaders are also due to discuss climate change and the fight against terrorism.

Six years after a man from south Cheshire went missing on holiday in Crete, police have released an image of how he might look now.

Steven Cook, from Sandbach, was 20 when he was last seen outside a pub in Malia asking for directions to his hotel.
Greek police have failed to find any concrete leads in their investigation into why he went missing in 2005.
His father Norman said posters with the new image would be circulated around the island.
Cheshire Police used photographs of different members of Steven's family when they were in their 20s to help construct the enhanced image.
Norman said that his family had never given up hope of finding Steven.
"It takes over your whole life. For the last five or six years we've led an unreal life.
"Every day, several times a day, either myself or members of my family are looking to see if any bit of information has come through on the internet and emails.
"We always look positively at what we can do. That way, it gets you through the dark days."
The image has now been posted on the Find Steven Cook website and anyone with any information in regard to Steven's disappearance - his whereabouts or his movements since 2005 - is asked to contact Cheshire Police.


A 25-year-old woman who was arrested at Luton Airport on suspicion of Syria-related terror offences has been bailed pending further police inquiries.

The woman, from Haringey, north London, was held on Wednesday after a flight from Istanbul in Turkey, on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism.
She was released on police bail after being questioned by officers from the West Midlands counter-terrorism unit.
A police spokesman said she had been granted conditional bail until March.
Two children who were travelling with her are being looked after by social services, West Midlands Police added.


A skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park has been confirmed as that of English king Richard III.

Experts from the University of Leicester said DNA from the bones matched that of descendants of the monarch's family.
Lead archaeologist Richard Buckley, from the University of Leicester, told a press conference to applause: "Beyond reasonable doubt it's Richard."
Richard, killed in battle in 1485, will be reinterred in Leicester Cathedral.
Interactive: Twisted bones reveal a king
Mr Buckley said the bones had been subjected to "rigorous academic study" and had been carbon dated to a period from 1455-1540.
Dr Jo Appleby, an osteo-archaeologist from the university's School of Archaeology and Ancient History, revealed the bones were of a man in his late 20s or early 30s. Richard was 32 when he died.
His skeleton had suffered 10 injuries, including eight to the skull, at around the time of death. Two of the skull wounds were potentially fatal.
One was a "slice" removing a flap of bone, the other was caused by bladed weapon which went through and hit the opposite side of the skull - a depth of more than 10cm (4ins).
Dr Appleby said: "Both of these injuries would have caused an almost instant loss of consciousness and death would have followed quickly afterwards.

The real Richard III - mad murderer or a man of his times?
Testing Richard's bones - how does DNA analysis work?
"In the case of the larger wound, if the blade had penetrated 7cm into the brain, which we cannot determine from the bones, death would have been instantaneous."
Other wounds included slashes or stabs to the face and the side of the head. There was also evidence of "humiliation" injuries, including a pelvic wound likely to have been caused by an upward thrust of a weapon, through the buttock.
Richard III was portrayed as deformed by some Tudor historians and indeed the skeleton's spine is badly curved, a condition known as scoliosis.
However, there was no trace of a withered arm or other abnormalities described in the more extreme characterisations of the king.
Without the scoliosis, which experts believe developed during teenage years, he would have been about 5ft 8ins (1.7m) tall, but the curvature would have made him appear "considerably" shorter.
Dr Appleby said: "The analysis of the skeleton proved that it was an adult male but was an unusually slender, almost feminine, build for a man.
"Taken as a whole, the skeletal evidence provides a highly convincing case for identification as Richard III."
Richard was a royal prince until the death of his brother Edward IV in 1483. Appointed as protector of his nephew, Edward V, Richard instead assumed the reins of power.
Edward and his brother Richard, known as the Princes in the Tower, disappeared soon after. Rumours circulated they had been murdered on the orders of their uncle.
Challenged by Henry Tudor, Richard was killed at Bosworth in 1485 after only two years on the throne.
He was given a hurried burial beneath the church of Greyfriars in the centre of Leicester.
Mr Buckley said the grave was clumsily cut, with sloping sides and too short for the body, forcing the head forward.
• Wealth of evidence, including radiocarbon dating, radiological evidence, DNA and bone analysis and archaeological results, confirms identity of last Plantagenet king who died over 500 years ago
• DNA from skeleton matches two of Richard III's maternal line relatives. Leicester genealogist verifies living relatives of Richard III's family
• Individual likely to have been killed by one of two fatal injuries to the skull - one possibly from a sword and one possibly from a halberd
• Ten wounds discovered on skeleton - Richard III killed by trauma to the back of the head. Part of the skull sliced off
• Radiocarbon dating reveals individual had a high protein diet - including significant amounts of seafood - meaning he was likely to be of high status
• Radiocarbon dating reveals individual died in the second half of the 15th or in the early 16th Century - consistent with Richard's death in 1485
• Skeleton reveals severe scoliosis - onset believed to have occurred at the time of puberty
• Although about 5ft 8in tall (1.7m), the condition meant King Richard III would have stood significantly shorter and his right shoulder may have been higher than the left
• Feet were truncated at an unknown point in the past, but a significant time after the burial
"There was no evidence of a coffin or shroud which would have left the bones in a more compact position.
"Unusually, the arms are crossed and this could be an indication the body was buried with the wrists still tied," he added.
Greyfriars church was demolished during the Reformation in the 16th Century and over the following centuries its exact location was forgotten.
However, a team of enthusiasts and historians managed to trace the likely area - and, crucially, after painstaking genealogical research, they found a 17th-generation descendant of Richard's sister with whose DNA they could compare any remains.
Joy Ibsen, from Canada, died several years ago but her son, Michael, who now works in London, provided a sample.
The researchers were fortunate as, while the DNA they were looking for was in all Joy Ibsen's offspring, it is only handed down through the female line and her only daughter has no children. The line was about to stop.
But the University of Leicester's experts had other problems.
Dr Turi King, project geneticist, said there had been concern DNA in the bones would be too degraded: "The question was could we get a sample of DNA to work with, and I am extremely pleased to tell you that we could."
She added: "There is a DNA match between the maternal DNA of the descendants of the family of Richard III and the skeletal remains we found at the Greyfriars dig.
"In short, the DNA evidence points to these being the remains of Richard III."
In August 2012, an excavation began in a city council car park - the only open space remaining in the likely area - which quickly identified buildings connected to the church.
The bones were found in the first days of the dig and were eventually excavated under forensic conditions.
Details of the reburial ceremony have yet to be released, but Philippa Langley from the Richard III Society said plans for a tomb were well advanced.
She said of the discovery of Richard's skeleton: "I'm totally thrilled, I'm overwhelmed to be honest, it's been a long hard journey. I mean today as we stand it's been nearly four years.
"It's the culmination of a lot of hard work. I think, as someone said to me earlier, it's just the end of the beginning.
"We're going to completely reassess Richard III, we're going to completely look at all the sources again, and hopefully there's going to be a new beginning for Richard as well."


Scotland is to invest an extra £12m over four years to tackle the impact of climate change on the world's poorest communities.

The funding will see the Scottish government's Climate Justice Fund double in size to support projects in countries such as Malawi and Zambia.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced the move at the UN global climate change summit in Paris.
She told the BBC: "Scotland is leading by example."
Over the past five years, the Climate Justice Fund has invested £6m into 11 projects in four sub-Saharan African countries.
Speaking from Paris on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Ms Sturgeon said: "I think developed countries have an obligation to help developing countries who bear the biggest impact of climate change but have done the least to contribute to it.
"We were the first country in the world to set up a climate justice fund and it's invested £6m over the last few years in clean water and clean energy projects in countries like Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania.
"What I am announcing today is that over the next four years we are effectively doubling that fund.
"It's a relatively small contribution in the grand scheme of things but it is one very tangible way in which Scotland, as one of the world's relatively rich countries, can pay our obligation to some of the poorest countries in the world."
The first minister attended a states and regions event in Paris on Monday morning along with representatives from 44 sub-national governments.
Asked what impact Scotland can really make at the climate change summit, the first minister said: "Scotland is a relatively small country but when we come together with others the cumulative impact we can have is enormous.
"Coming together and working together, I think, is so important as we tackle one of the biggest global challenges we face."
The Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF) welcomed the climate justice fund cash boost which it said "sets a positive example to other wealthy nations meeting in Paris".
Director Alistair Dutton said: "It's a clear recognition that wealthy industrialised countries like Scotland have a responsibility to help poor countries cope with the huge climate challenges they face."
Tom Ballantine, of Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, said: "Tackling climate change is an issue of justice. Like other wealthy nations, Scotland benefited greatly from the era of fossil fuels, and it means we owe a climate debt to the world's poorest people, who are the most affected by climate change."
Ricardo Navarro, an engineer and climate campaigner from El Salvador, also welcomed the first minister's announcement.
He told BBC Scotland: "The climate problem has been generated by the wealthy people of the planet.  Poor people have no goods to buy gasoline or goods that require gasoline to be produced.
"The guys responsible for the problem, the wealthy people of the planet, don't even want to acknowledge that.
"The climate injustice is the fact that people who are not responsible for the problem are the ones who are suffering the consequences."
Ms Sturgeon will also tell the summit that Scotland has cut emissions "by a massive 38% since 1990" and that global leadership in tackling climate change has received international recognition.
However, Scottish Labour said the Scottish government had missed its climate targets every year since the Climate Change Act was passed, and that plans to reduce air passenger duty would generate an extra 50,000 tonnes of emissions a year.
The party's environmental justice spokeswoman Sarah Boyack said: "We all have a duty to reduce emissions and leave this planet a better place than we found it - that means government, society and business.
"The margin by which the SNP has failed to meet their climate targets is enough to power Glasgow for five years.
"The reality is that the SNP's record is simply not good enough. Nicola Sturgeon is going to the climate change conference in Paris despite having a headline tax policy which will increase emissions by 50,000 tonnes a year.
"The SNP's plan to hand a tax cut to airlines will make it more difficult for Scotland to meet those targets in the future. We need more than warm words from the SNP government on climate change."


A Kurdish Muslim teenager who handed out free hugs to strangers while blindfolded said he has been overwhelmed by the response.

Yusf Pirot, 16, of Arnold in Nottingham said he wanted to show the world that not all Muslims were terrorists.
"The reason I wanted to do it was because I grew up in a society where I was being called a terrorist nearly every day," he said.
A video of his hugs has attracted millions of views on social media.
Another video of a blindfolded Muslim man asking for hugs in the aftermath of the Paris attacks has also gone viral.
Yusf said: "This idea was in my head for a long time - I wanted to send a message out to the world and tell them that I am a Muslim - there are 1.7bn of us in the world that doesn't mean that every single one of us is a terrorist.
"Deep inside I do care - and it hurts me.
"I was really shocked and surprised. I thought it would be a normal video and ... not a big deal. I was like 'wow'."
He said he decided to stage his hug event after hearing about the terrorist attacks in Paris: "I was shocked - why would anyone want to hurt another human being â€¦ why would  they kill innocent people for no reason?
"When I was blindfolded I heard a few people saying negative things - one person said to his friend what would happen if I punched him in the face?"
The teenager said "some brainwashed people think it is alright to go and  blow themselves up â€¦ not all Muslims think the same way".
Wendy Feargrieve of Calverton, who stopped to give Yusf a hug, said: "He was blindfolded and he couldn't see who was going up to him and what they were going to do. I walked up to him... and he put his arms around me and I told him he was very brave to do what he was doing."
Yusf's older brother Salam, who arrived with his family from northern Iraq in 2007, told the BBC: "We are proud of him and what he did."


Warwickshire and champions Yorkshire settled for a draw on day four of their rain-affected game at Edgbaston.

After the hosts resumed on 205-2, Varun Chopra added just six to his overnight score before being caught in the slips off Steven Patterson for 107.
Jonathan Trott (74) and Tim Ambrose (61 not out) ensured full batting points for the Bears, who declared on 443-9.
The visitors lost Adam Lyth and Alex Lees cheaply as Yorkshire reached 73-2 before the players shook hands.
Yorkshire, who have started the defence of their Division One title with two draws, now face Nottinghamshire in a match which begins on Sunday.
But they will be without Ryan Sidebottom, whose ankle injury, sustained on day two at Edgbaston, will rule him out of next week's game against his former county Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.
Three successive draws at the start of the season have been enough to take Warwickshire to the top of the table, although they have played at least a game more than all the other Division One sides.
Warwickshire captain Ian Bell told BBC WM:
"Being top of the table at this stage of the season doesn't really mean anything but the start we have made is very encouraging.
"The challenge was to get 400, which wasn't going to be straightforward against a good attack, but we did it quite comfortably in the end.
"Tim Ambrose and Rikki Clarke batted really well in the middle order. They are important players for us. Them getting runs is a good sign because we have got big runs at the top of the order in the early games.
"But also the engine-room, from 6 down to 10, is producing well. If they are batting well too, it just keeps the pressure on the opposition."
Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale told BBC Radio Leeds:
"We know we are playing 'okay' cricket but know we can be better. We are not playing our best cricket but have still got two solid draws.
"I don't think we have hit our straps in the top five with big partnerships and we haven't bowled in partnerships either.
"There have been periods of play when we have been quite sloppy and gone round the park.
"The encouraging thing is the lads recognise that and want to work hard to put it right. While they are doing that you know you are on the right path.


One of the UK's most northerly water stick insect colonies has been found at a County Durham nature reserve.

Volunteers carrying out a study of aquatic invertebrates discovered the creatures at Low Barns Nature Reserve near Witton-le-Wear.
Durham Wildlife Trust said the Ranatra linearis is common in south and central Britain but very rare in the north.
Reserve officer Mark Dinning said: "This was an exciting find, proof that nature is always ready to surprise us."
The water stick insect hides amongst reeds and stems where it waits, camouflaged, to ambush passing creatures such as tadpoles and small fish.
It uses its long thin tail like a snorkel allowing it to breathe when submerged.


The mother of a friend of Arlene Arkinson said police officers told her convicted child killer Robert Howard was an informer, an inquest has heard.

Arlene, 15,  was last seen being driven away by Howard in the early hours of the morning after attending a disco in Bundoran, County Donegal in 1994.
Patricia Quinn denied she was in a relationship with Howard and said they were just friends.
However, under questioning, she said he slept in her bed when he stayed over.
She told Belfast Coroners Court: "He wasn't interested in me. He was interested in young girls in uniforms."
Ms Quinn's daughter, Donna, had been friends with Arlene since they were young children.
On the night in 1994 that the teenager disappeared she had been to a disco in Bundoran with Donna Quinn, her boyfriend and Robert Howard.
Arlene's body has never been found.
Howard has always been the prime suspect in the case despite being acquitted in 2005.
At the time the jury were not told he was already serving a life sentence for the murder of Kent teenager Hannah Williams.
The 71-year-old died in prison last year.


Chinese customs officers have seized more than a tonne of tusks from animals that have been extinct for thousands of years - mammoths.

State media are reporting that the massive haul came from Russia and was seized in north-east China in February.
The largest piece of mammoth ivory seized was more than 1.6m (5ft) long, a customs officer was quoted as saying.
There is no international ban on the trade but Chinese officials said the haul was not declared.
The stockpile is part of a booming trade between Russia and China in ivory taken from the skeletons of mammoths found in the Siberian tundra. The effects of global warming in the Arctic has made it easier to collect tusks preserved in ice for thousands of years, researchers say.
More than 100 woolly mammoth tusks were seized at the port of Luobei in Heilongjiang province, in addition to 37 woolly rhino horn parts and more than a tonne of jade. They were hidden in concealed compartments in a truck, according to reports.
The truck driver is alleged to have claimed he was only carrying soybeans, and to have fled the scene when the truck was inspected.
He and another person were later arrested.
Listen: The growing and legal trade in mammoth ivory (BBC Radio 4)
DNA clues to why woolly mammoth died out
There are estimated to be around 10 million mammoths that "remain incarcerated within the permafrost of the Arctic tundra", according to Douglas MacMillan, a professor of conservation and applied resource economics at the University of Kent.
Some mammoth experts have suggested that the trade in mammoth ivory should be banned, even though the animals are extinct. They argue that their tusks are often sold as elephant tusks, and thus encourage overall demand for ivory.
It is estimated that more than 50% of the ivory sold into China, which has has the biggest ivory market in the world, is mammoth ivory. Hong Kong is a major destination, and the ivory is used to make jewellery and other objects, including ornamental tusks.
But other experts like Prof MacMillan say that a ban would not halt the trade but rather "drive it underground and attract the attention of organised crime groups".
Most of the world's woolly mammoths had died out by about 10,500 years ago. Scientists believe that human hunting and environmental changes played a role in their extinction.
China has announced a ban on all elephant ivory trade and processing activities by the end of 2017.


Nearly 4,000 women and girls have been treated for female genital mutilation (FGM) in London's hospitals since 2009, according to new figures.

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust treated the most FGM patients, with 1,146 seen over the past five years.
The data was obtained through Freedom of Information requests to NHS Trusts by BBC London 94.9.
London's mayor Boris Johnson said the practice was "absolutely intolerable".
Forty-one hospital trusts were contacted by the BBC with most supplying figures. Six said they did not currently record figures on FGM, while four did not respond.

The remaining 31 trusts reported that a total of 3,939 FGM patients had been treated in London hospitals.
St George's Healthcare NHS Trust treated the second largest number of patients, with a total of 795 seen between 2009 and 2013, eight of whom were born in the UK.
The trust also revealed six girls under the age of 18 had been treated.
Mr Johnson said he was committed to delivering a pilot initiative aimed at improving the way agencies in the capital identify and respond to FGM.
"This is a crime basically outlawed in the early-mid 1980s and yet, unlike France, we have not had one single successful prosecution for what is unquestionably a completely barbaric crime," he said.
"It's time to stop being so nervous, so gingerly and hesitant. This is something that is absolutely intolerable in a place like London."
Tackling genital mutilation 'taboo'
FGM is most common among some African, Asian and Middle Eastern communities.
But campaigners say there is a lack of knowledge about how prevalent the practice is and this is hampering social services and the police in the collection of evidence.
Dr Phoebe Abe, a Hillingdon GP, runs a free weekly FGM clinic where she is currently treating 60 women, eight of whom are under 17.
"These women have adhesions, vaginal infections, pelvic inflammatory infections, urine infections - for years they have been having this problems," she said.
Last month the Department of Health announced that, from April, all NHS hospitals will be able to record if a patient has undergone FGM or if there is a family history of it.
By September, all acute hospitals will have to report this data to the department on a monthly basis.
At least 66,000 girls and women in the UK are believed to be victims of FGM.
The children's charity, NSPCC, set up a 24-hour FGM helpline last year.


Scientists have found a hellish world where the "surface" of the planet is over 4,000C - almost as hot as our Sun.

In part, thatâ€™s because KELT-9bâ€™s host star is itself very hot, but also because this alien world resides so close to the furnace.
KELT-9b takes just two days to complete one orbit of the star.
Being so close means the planet cannot exist for very long - the gases in its atmosphere are being blasted with radiation and lost to space.
Researchers say it may look a little like a comet as it circles the star from pole to pole - another strange aspect of this discovery.
News of KELT-9b is reported in the journal Nature. Its highly unusual properties were also presented on Monday to the spring meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Austin, Texas.
"We found [KELT-9b] back in 2014, if you can believe it; and it took us this long to finally convince ourselves that this truly bizarre and unusual world was in fact a planet orbiting another star," Prof Scott Gaudi, from The Ohio State University, told BBC News.
"We know pretty well how big the planet is and how massive it is: it's about three times the mass of Jupiter and twice as big as Jupiter.
"We know the parent star's properties reasonably well: it's about two and a half times more massive than the Sun; it's almost twice as hot as the Sun; and it's rotating very rapidly and so it would appear very flattened to our eyes."
The planet is tidally locked to its star, meaning it always presents the same face - just as our Moon never shows its far side to Earth.
This raises the temperature on the "day side" of KELT-9b to over 4,300C - hotter than the surface of the average Red Dwarf star, by far the most common type of star in the Milky Way.
The host star - known by the simple designation of KELT-9 - is radiating so much ultraviolet light that it may completely erode the planet's atmosphere.
Prof Gaudi's team calculates material is being lost at a current rate of perhaps 10 billion or 10 trillion grams per second.
If KELT-9b possesses a rocky core, this could be laid bare eventually, but a more likely end scenario is that the planet will be engulfed by the star.
This star is what's termed an A-type object. These stars burn brilliant but brief lives. They exist for just millions of years rather than the billions of years that our Sun is expected to persist. So it may not be long before KELT-9 puffs up as it exhausts its fuel and eats the planet.
The discovery was made using a robotic telescope system that uses high-end - but standard - camera telephoto lenses attached to scientific grade detectors.
The Ohio State University operates the system at two locations, one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere. It is a collaboration with Vanderbilt University, Lehigh University, and the South African Astronomical Observatory.
This astronomical facility goes by the name of the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope. "We named the telescope kind of as a joke; we're poking a little fun at ourselves," said Prof Gaudi.


Scotland's private sector has started to decline, according to research from the Bank of Scotland.

Its PMI survey for February indicated output levels deteriorated for the first time in three months, driven by a marginal decline in new orders.
The PMI registered a score of 49.2, representing a slight downturn in output.
The bank suggested the performance of the oil and gas sector was behind the decline.
Other key points from the research included:
The research is compiled by Markit for the Bank of Scotland.
It is based on a monthly survey of about 600 executives in private manufacturing and service sector companies.
Mr Gardner said: "The downturns in the Aberdeen region and the oil and gas sector negatively impacted the Scottish economy during February, as firms struggled to cope with lower incoming new order levels and deteriorating volumes of incomplete work.
"The drop in business activity and the slide in workforce numbers also signals a challenging few months ahead for the region."


South Korea's Kim In-kyung held her nerve to claim a first major title by winning the Women's British Open.

Kim took a six-shot lead into the final round but a course record-equalling 64 from England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff took her to within two shots of the lead.
But Kim, 29, maintained her form to post a 71 and win by two shots.
Another Englishwoman, Georgia Hall, had to settle for a tie for third after a 70, alongside American Michelle Wie (66) and German Caroline Masson (67).
A superb run of scoring saw Ewart Shadoff follow a birdie on the second hole with five in a row from the sixth and another on the 13th.
The 29-year-old from Northallerton then birdied the 17th to close the gap to two and parred the last to complete a 64, equalling the record set on day one by Wie and matched by Inbee Park in round three.
However, Kim, who famously missed a one-foot putt to win the Kraft Nabisco Championship - now called the ANA Inspiration - in 2012, was able to par the final five holes for a winning total of 18 under par.
Ewart Shadoff's runners-up finish is her best result in a major and secured her place on Europe's Solheim Cup team to take on the United States in Iowa from 18-20 August.
Wie closed with a six-under 66 to post her best major finish since winning her sole major title at the 2014 US Open.
Sally Watson, the only Scot left in the tournament, had a disappointing 76 to finish four over par in her last tournament before retiring.


When a downward-spiralling Elvis Presley died 40 years ago on 16 August 1977, a cynical music industry insider was overheard to remark that it was a "smart career move".

Apocryphal tale or not, death has given a lucrative boost to the selling power of not just Elvis, but also Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and a host of other music legends.
It has also enabled a number of entrepreneurial fans of the artists in question to make a good living from selling memorabilia and other things connected to their idols.
Elvis's legacy and monetary worth remain immensely strong in particular - according to Forbes' list of top earning dead stars he earned $27m (£21m) in 2016, and sold one million albums.
Aged just 42 when he died of a heart attack, the singer's notorious love of unhealthy food could not have helped. His favourite sandwich was said to consist of two slices of fried bread, with crispy bacon and fried bananas, smothered in jam and peanut butter.
Graceland sold 11,000 such sandwiches to visitors last year - but it was not Graceland, Memphis, Elvis' former home, rather Graceland Randers in Denmark.
The tourist attraction in northern Denmark is owned by Danish-born super-fan Henrik Knudsen, 53, who built a copy of the original Graceland mansion to keep the rock 'n' roller's legend alive in Scandinavia.
"I was 13 when he died, and I couldn't say it was a shock, as I wasn't that deep into him at the time, but what I recognised was this was something big," says Henrik, an honorary citizen of Memphis, who has visited Graceland in the US some 100 times.
"This could have been royalty. This could have been a president."
After establishing a successful Elvis fan club, his Danish replica of Graceland opened in 2011.
It cost £2.8m to build the house, with museum in the basement, a function room, merchandise store, and a diner, but within six years Henrik had made enough money to pay back his investors.
Yet with success came a lawsuit from Elvis Presley Enterprises, the corporate body created by the Elvis Presley Trust to manage worldwide licensing of Elvis-related products and ventures, for infringement of the Graceland trademark.
In December 2015 Graceland Randers was renamed Memphis Mansions, and Henrik declines to discuss the legal aspects.

Another Elvis fanatic who makes a living from his hero is London-based Sid Shaw, the owner of website Elvisly Yours, which sells Elvis-related memorabilia and products to fans in more than 50 countries.
Over the years he has sold mugs, costume jewellery, magazines, books, posters, badges, t-shirts, plates, magnets, Elvis sunglasses and tapestries, among others.
'I first heard Elvis on Radio Luxembourg. And that was the only place you could hear pop music [at the time]," says Sid, now 71.
"Elvis came on and was totally different to anything else, so I became a fan then."
Sid started making busts of Elvis in 1977, the year of his death, and in 1978 set up a fan club.
"In those days, the Elvis Presley estate didn't have a trademark, so I applied for the trademark 'Elvis', and I was told you can't get it because it is generic," he recalls. "So I applied for the next best thing which is 'Elvisly Yours'... and I got it."
The phrase Elvisly Yours is the way Elvis fans around the world sign their letters.
Sid says to protect himself legally he has acquired a further 38 trade marks in the UK and Europe.
At the other end of the online memorabilia scale, eBay says current demand for material related to the King has seen 12 Elvis-related items sold every hour over the last three months, covering everything from mugs to masks.
And there are nearly 70,000 current listings for Elvis memorabilia on the site.

While Elvis fans are mainly of the same generation that grew up with him, others - such as reggae legend Bob Marley - have more cross-generational appeal. In Marley's case he has also become synonymous with Jamaica, helping boost tourism there.
"Bob Marley is more than a native son, he is an icon," says Jamaica's director of tourism Paul Pennicook.
The Marley legacy is overseen by The Bob Marley Group (Jamaica), which is owned by his family, and includes the Bob Marley Museum.
Located in Kingston, the Jamaican capital, the museum was formerly Marley's home, and was purchased in 1975. It was transformed into a museum after his 1981 death, and attracts more than 36,000 visitors a year.
Entry costs are $25 per adult, $12 per child aged four to 12 years, and $5 per student with valid Jamaican school ID.
Meanwhile, products on sale related to the reggae icon include Marley Coffee, a House of Marley audio equipment range, and One Love ice-cream.
Once a star dies, original memorabilia associated with them tends to climb in price.
Katherine Schofield, head of the entertainment department at UK auction house Bonhams, says: "We tend to see a knee-jerk reaction in the market following the death of a collectible artists.
"It takes a bit longer for the market to settle, and we can then see more accurately if prices look likely to stay higher."
Since David Bowie's death in January 2016 she says there have been high prices for items related to the trend-setting musician, and "high quality lots coming on to the market".
Truffle Shuffle, a firm which produces images on t-shirts, has also noted that death can boost sales.
"When Bowie died, just like with his music, sales of merchandise tripled, with fans looking to get something to remind them of a cultural icon," says Claire Wood, head buyer at TruffleShuffle.com.
Meanwhile, Australian street artist Jimmy C (aka James Cochrane), sold limited edition prints of a Bowie wall mural in Brixton, London, he had created in 2013.
The 44-year-old sold about 120 prints for £180 each with 20% going to Cancer Research UK.
"The print is connected to my artwork as much as it is to Bowie, or to be more specific, the artwork was a personal interpretation of Bowie," he says.
"I believe it is legitimate for me to sell decent quality prints of my own artwork."
But be warned, estates are always on the look-out for anything that crosses from homage into copyright infringement.
"Our action against piracy is an ongoing one," says the Bob Marley Foundation. "We continue to encourage the public to do the right thing and report any illegal use of the image of the reggae icon."


Newly re-elected President Barack Obama has said the wealthy must pay more taxes under any political settlement to avert a looming budget crisis.

He said Congress must act against the so-called fiscal cliff, a package of tax rises and spending cuts due early next year.
But in a duelling news conference, Republican House Speaker John Boehner said tax rises would not be acceptable.
Budget analysts warn the US will tip into recession unless a deal is struck.
Mr Obama has repeatedly called for the affluent to pay more, but such a plan is anathema to Republicans.
The fiscal cliff would see the expiry of George W Bush-era tax cuts at the end of 2012, combined with automatic, across-the-board reductions to military and domestic spending.
In the East Room of the White House on Friday, Mr Obama said: "We can't just cut our way to prosperity. If we're serious about reducing the deficit, we have to combine spending cuts with revenue. And that means asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more in taxes."
By Mark MardellNorth America editor
President Obama is using the moral authority of his re-election to push his case. There is nothing new in his call for Congress to extend "middle-class tax cuts" at once. He said it repeatedly before the election.
But it's different now. He has a renewed mandate and his demand has a fresh weight behind it. He pointed out even people who didn't vote for him told opinion pollsters that taxes should go up for the richest.
There has to be agreement on a plan to cut the deficit. If not, there will be pretty horrible consequences. If the bomb goes off, it is not just the politicians who will be hurt. It is the US economy that would explode, and it would probably take what's left of the world economy with it.
The Democratic president continued: "I want to be clear. I'm not wedded to every detail of my plan. I'm open to compromise. I'm open to new ideas... but I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced."
He repeated his oft-stated call for tax rises on earnings over $250,000 (Â£157,000), while urging Congress to extend existing rates for 98% of taxpayers.
"This was a central question during the election," said Mr Obama. "It was debated over and over again. On Tuesday night, we found out that the majority of Americans agree with my approach."
He also invited Democratic and Republican leaders to the White House next week to discuss how to move forward.
A White House spokesman said afterwards the president would veto any bill extending tax cuts for those making more than $250,000.
But battle lines were drawn earlier on Friday, as Speaker Boehner restated his party's opposition to tax increases.
The most powerful Republican lawmaker told a press briefing that "raising tax rates will slow down our ability to create the jobs that everyone says they want".
Mr Boehner suggested "special-interest loopholes in the tax code, both corporate and personal" could be eliminated, as he advocated "entitlement reform as well as tax reform with lower rates".
"Entitlement reform" is Washington-speak for cuts to federal spending on programmes such as healthcare for the poor and elderly and Social Security pensions - cherished among Mr Obama's Democratic allies.
Mr Boehner also cited a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report on Thursday which warned the US economy would fall back into recession if no deal were struck on the fiscal cliff.
The analysis projected that the package of tax rises and spending cuts would cut the ballooning US deficit by $503bn (Â£315bn) through to next September, but also shrink the economy by 0.5% and cost millions of jobs.
The International Monetary Fund has repeatedly warned that failure by US lawmakers to reach a deal would deepen uncertainty over the global economy.

Investor concerns over the issue have been partly blamed for two straight days of losses on financial markets this week.
As Mr Obama turns his attention to shaping a second term in office, his administration is expected to undergo a shake-up in the coming weeks.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defence Secretary Leon Panetta and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner are among those expected to leave their posts.
Speculation has been swirling in Washington over possible replacements, with Democratic Senator John Kerry among those  tipped as a substitute for Mrs Clinton.
Meanwhile, Republicans are carrying out a post-mortem on their presidential election campaign.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told CBS News on Friday the party's loss "really necessitates" new thinking.
They had sent "mixed messages" on immigration and women's issues, she added.
While Mr Obama carried the popular vote by only a narrow margin, "clearly we are losing important segments" of the electorate, she said.

Former Super League referee Ian Smith says he often felt "lonely and isolated" when he took charge of big matches.

Media playback is not supported on this device
And he admits to hitting rock bottom after leaving the game, saying the constant criticism of the man in the middle can have a lasting effect on mental health.
"The external pressures that referees and match officials are put under, from all stakeholders - from owners, to players to coaches, to fans - I think what people don't understand is that inside that uniform there is a human being that does make mistakes,"  Smith told the BBC 5 Live Rugby League podcast.
"They think it's unacceptable for a match official to make mistakes. That pressure that's placed on them can have a mental health impact."
Smith, 51, says he had real problems when he left the Rugby Football League 18 months after a career that included 12 years as a top-flight referee.
And he adds it took him eight to 10 months to turn his world around, with the assistance of the game's mental-health charity State of Mind.
"When I left the RFL, I suffered some mental issues. I really started to struggle. I felt I'd lost my identity," he says.
"I'd refereed in Super League for 12 years and when you are under that type of intense pressure both on and off the field to perform, it effected my mood swings during and after the game and through to the next appointment.
"But, when you're actually performing at a professional level, you just get on with it because you have got the next match to come.
"It's incredibly lonely. You speak to players and they have the comfort of their team-mates. And, even though we have touch-judges and the match officials' department, when you are out there it is still a very lonely and isolating place.
"At times you can feel incredibly lonely."
Smith is now using his experience to help others tackle their mental health issues.
He has become a presenter with Offload - an offshoot of State of Mind, which was set up by mental health experts and ex-players after popular Great Britain international Terry Newton took his own life seven years ago.
"It gets like-minded men to offload their mental health issues in a safe, secure and non-judgemental environment," says Smith. "It's absolutely fantastic.
"Some of the tweets we get back are amazing. People have said we're making a massive difference and they had contemplated taking their own lives before they got on this programme.
"It's incredibly rewarding."
The whole game united in support of State of Mind this weekend, with the entire round of Super League matches dedicated to its mental health message. Players wore T-shirts bearing its slogans during warm-ups, and the charity's representatives set up information posts outside each ground.
Danny Sculthorpe is one of the former players involved with State of Mind. He contemplated suicide when he left Bradford after a training injury left him unable to play.
It led to him losing his house and being unable to support his wife and two young kids.
"I couldn't get the thought of suicide out of my mind," he says.
"I did the typical bloke thing for months and months - I didn't tell anyone. I thought it was a sign of weakness. But what I have come to learn is that if you can talk about your problems and admit you're struggling, you're more of a man than if you keep it to yourself."
Sculthorpe, 37, is one of the main State of Mind presenters.
"The RFL got me loads of help - they got me talking to a counsellor," he says. "It sounds too good to be true, but talking beat the medication. Medication worked for me, but it was talking that saved my life."
State of Mind began its work at rugby league clubs, but now delivers presentations throughout the country, to what Sculthorpe describes as typical alpha-male groups.
"It's amazing, unbelievable," he says. "As soon as you go in and mention mental health, people switch off. But the reality is everyone has mental health, just as they have physical health.
"When we start telling our stories, they are getting it. If a rugby league player can speak about how they're feeling then anyone can.
"We did a construction site 12 months ago, down in London. The day after, seven blokes went in to HR and said they were struggling and needed to get help.
"On construction sites you're five times more likely to die from suicide than an accident on site."
State of Mind has also targeted schools. One recent presentation led to a teenage boy opening up about his depression and getting treatment through counselling.
"We went back to speak to the teachers a month later. A week before, the parent of the young lad went in to say thank you for getting State of Mind in because she had got her son back," said Sculthorpe.
One of the charity's co-founders - mental health nurse Malcolm Rae - says its success is mainly down to using the experiences of the players, but that carefully chosen language helps breaks down barriers.
"One of the barriers to blokes seeking help is stigma," he says.
"So we particularly used language like 'help a mate' or 'feel good, play better'. And we use phrases like mental fitness instead of mental illness. Language is so important in engaging with people."
Rae believes State of Mind could now be replicated in other sports.
"I think this is a world first," he says. "The rugby league community and the RFL deserve every credit for enabling this to happen.
"The Department of Health's recent revised policy on suicide prevention, and the Parliamentary Select Committee both commended rugby league and State of Mind and feel we are the benchmark for other sports."
Former referee Smith says working with the charity is helping his continued recovery.
"I'm in a great place at the moment," he says.
"Every time I present for State of Mind or Offload, it's like my own therapy class. You're picking up little ways of coping and moving forward."


A man has been charged with the murder of a woman who was found stabbed in Sheffield.

The body of 39-year-old Anayat Bibi was discovered with multiple stab wounds at a house in Vickers Road, in Firth Park, at the weekend.
A 42-year-old man from Sheffield is expected to appear before magistrates on Friday.
Police said two other men, aged 83 and 20, arrested in connection with the killing remained on police bail.
Ms Bibi's body was found by police at about 11:35 BST on Sunday.


Facebook's alleged violations of European data laws are to be scrutinised in court by a student group.

Europe v Facebook is unhappy about "half-hearted solutions" following an audit by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner.
The group says it will take the IDPC to court for what is sees as failures to implement the changes.
It believes the case could eventually go to the European Court of Justice.
"If we get these things before the courts, it is very likely that it goes all the way to the European Court of Justice. Such a case would be a landmark for the whole IT industry," said Max Schrems, the spokesman for Europe v Facebook.
Despite the fact that, under Irish law, it will have to take the IDPC to court rather than Facebook, the group still sees it as a battle with the social network.
"In the end it will be us against Facebook because any outcome will affect how it can use data," Mr Schrems told the BBC.
The IDPC said that is waiting to hear from Europe v Facebook but that it would "commence the process" as soon as it did.
The group has been campaigning for better data protection for Facebook users for over a year and filed numerous complaints with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner.
It triggered an audit which required Facebook to disclose more user data and, importantly , to turn off its facial recognition feature in Europe.
The feature put forward suggestions when registered users could be tagged in photographs.
But the group does not think the changes go far enough.
"The Irish authority is miles away from other European data protection authorities in its understanding of the law, and failed to investigate many things. Facebook also gave the authority the run-around," it said in a statement.
It feels that the social network has failed to fully implement the changes.
Some 40,000 users have exercised their right to get a copy of all the data Facebook is holding on them but the group is unhappy about the tools the social network provides to users and is critical that, in 13 cases, the social network failed to meet the deadline for data delivery.
It is also questioning why facial recognition has only be deactivated for EU citizens given that Ireland is responsible for all users outside of the US and Canada.
In response Facebook issued a statement: "The way Facebook Ireland handles personal data has been subject to thorough review by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner over the past year. The two detailed reports produced by the DPC demonstrate that Facebook Ireland complies with European data protection principles and Irish law,
"Nonetheless  we have some vocal critics who will never be happy whatever we do and whatever the DPC concludes," it said.
Facebook also faces a class-action lawsuit in the United States, where it is charged with violating privacy rights by publicising users' "likes" without giving them a way to opt out.
A judge gave preliminary approval for the case to be settled by paying users up to $10 (Â£6.20; 7.60 euros) each out of a settlement fund of $20m.
Meanwhile users are voting on whether they want proposed changes to privacy settings to go ahead. It could be the last user-generated vote on the network as Facebook is keen to scrap the system.
So far about 35,000 have voted. In order to change the plans, 30% of users - or 300 million - need to take part in the vote.


The RSPCA has made an appeal to re-home 227 hens and a cockerel that have been removed from a Dorset property.

The charity took the birds from their owner after the hens became sick and the owner struggled to cope.
The flock is being housed in a barn by the charity and they have been treated for a disease called Mycoplasma, which has symptoms similar to a cold.
According to the charity the birds are still capable of laying and living a perfectly normal life.
RSPCA inspector Patrick Bailey said: "Now they are back to being healthy we are hoping there are some kind members of the public who would like to offer them a new home in time for Christmas."
Anyone who would like to re-home one of the hens should contact the RSPCA for further details.
The charity is requesting a donation of Â£1 per bird.


As a Welsh learner from the Rhondda, some observers might have thought Leanne Wood an unlikely candidate to lead Plaid Cymru, whose traditional heartlands are in the Welsh-speaking west and north of Wales.

But she has tried to use her background to her advantage.
If Plaid is ever going to dislodge Labour as the biggest party in the assembly, she says, it must first dislodge Labour as the dominant party in places like the south Wales valleys.
"I think I'm able to speak to people in order to do that," she said.
A staunch republican, in 2004 she was ordered to leave the assembly chamber when she referred to the Queen as Mrs Windsor and refused to withdraw the remark.
But during the leadership campaign she said she would meet the Queen if it was part of her official duties as Plaid leader.
As an AM she also unearthed failings at the public spending watchdog, the Wales Audit Office, under former Auditor General Jeremy Colman.
She was the last leadership candidate to throw her hat in the ring, but her campaign quickly gathered momentum, with a band of active young supporters who enthusiastically championed her cause online.
Her credentials as a potential leader were boosted by the support of one of the party's most prominent figures, former MP Adam Price.
She speaks, he said, "with a voice that resonates across Wales".
However, his own standing may have suffered somewhat when he called for Plaid members to vote tactically to stop Elin Jones getting the job. Ms Wood herself said she would be giving her second vote in the leadership election to Ms Jones.
So where next for Plaid under its new leader?
The party has successes to shout about after going into coalition with Labour in 2007. The coalition built the case for reforming the way the Welsh assembly is funded, secured primary law-making powers and passed legislation to protect the Welsh language - all key aims of Plaid Cymru.
But it failed to capitalise on them at last year's election. In her analysis of why Plaid lost seats, Ms Wood said that after ticking off so many of its short-term goals while in government, Plaid failed to offer voters a unique selling point.
Last year she gave an indication of where she thought the party should be heading when she published proposals torevitalise the former coalfields.
It is a vision that prioritises economic renewal and the creation of jobs as the basis for an independent Wales - what she calls "real independence for Wales so we can finally break the system that's keeping us down".


Briton Anthony Joshua says "Father Time has caught up with Wladimir Klitschko" as the two prepare for Saturday's heavyweight world title bout.

Klitschko, 41, lost his heavyweight title to Tyson Fury in November 2015 - his first defeat in 11 years.
The Ukrainian will fight Joshua for his IBF title and the vacant WBA Super and IBO heavyweight belts at Wembley.
"He has to pass on the baton. I do hear it a lot, he's too old, he's faded," Joshua, 27, told BBC Radio 5 live.
"But then I try and flip it. Even if he is too old, which I think he is, he's in a good place mentally and that's a dangerous fighter.
"Timing is everything and maybe Father Time has caught up with the former champ."
Rob McCracken, who has trained Joshua since his days as an amateur, said the Ukrainian's age was a factor in his team accepting the fight.
"I'd be a liar if I said it wasn't the case. I think the last couple of fights he hasn't looked at his best," said McCracken.
"Timing is huge in boxing. Klitschko is coming to the end of his reign as a heavyweight on the planet.
"We are rolling the dice with Anthony in this situation. It's a huge step up in terms of experience and the calibre of the opponent but we think the timing is right."
In 2014, Joshua visited Klitschko's training camp to help the Ukrainian prepare for his bout with Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev, which he won.
And Joshua, unbeaten in 18 fights since turning professional in 2013, believes he has come a long way since the two last met three years ago.
"I am a completely different person now. I'm at a place now where he's obsessed with beating me and I'm confident," he said.
"I'm not a gym fighter. If I'm depending on his age and he's depending on the sparring from years ago then he will definitely get it wrong.
"He's got to come across a young lion who studies the game.
"Whatever type of fight he wants to fight, if it goes down the route of us two swinging until the cows come home, I don't think I will back out.
"My obligation first and foremost is to make him look like a novice."


When Katy Perry, Radiohead and Ed Sheeran take to the Pyramid Stage next week, they'll get paid "less than 10%" of what they'd earn at other festivals.

"We're not in a situation where we're able to just give people enormous amounts of money," organiser Emily Eavis told BBC 6 Music's Matt Everitt.
"So we're really grateful for the bands that we get, because they're basically doing it for the love of it."
Headliners at other UK festivals can earn upwards of £1m per show.
Oasis were the first act to be paid a six-figure sum when they topped the bill at Reading and Leeds in 2000.
Their fee was offset by a £5 hike in the ticket price but, ever since, such figures have become commonplace.
In 2011, V paid Eminem £2m to headline its two sites. Rihanna, who played immediately before him, earned about half of that amount.
But The Rolling Stones are believed to have made a loss when they played Glastonbury in 2013, having spent money to build a catwalk on the front of the Pyramid Stage.
The festival's founder, Michael Eavis, once revealed, "I paid £200,000 for Paul McCartney and for Coldplay, and although it sounds a lot, they could have charged me far more".
In fact, Paul McCartney can charge up to £4m for an appearance, although his festival fee is likely to be lower.
It's the Eavis's commitment to charity which allows them to drive prices down; with profits from the festival split between Oxfam, WaterAid and Greenpeace, amongst others.
"We try to give £2m a year," said Emily. "In a wet year it's harder because it costs more, but we give as close to £2m as we can.
"That's why we're not commercial, in that respect. We're not in the same bracket as everyone else when it comes to paying artists massive fees.
"It's probably less than 10% of what they'd get from playing any of the other major British festivals. [So] Glastonbury relies completely on goodwill."
Emily added that fans would be subject to increased security checks at this year's festival, following the terror attacks in London and Manchester.
"Coming in will take a bit of extra time, because we'll be doing extra searches," she said.
Organisers have also asked people to put luggage tags on all their bags, with details of their names and mobile numbers.
As in previous years, the car parks will open at 2100 on Tuesday night (20 June) before gates open. Festival gates will then open at 0800 on Wednesday morning.
However, there will be no entertainment or facilities (other than toilets) in the car parks and festival-goers will be expected to remain in their cars until the gates open.
"We're working very closely with the police," said Emily. "We just want to make it as safe as possible."
