Greek €325m shortfall | Re-correction: Cycling accidents | Lawyer referral fees | NHS bill e-petition | Thornbury churches | The World Bank's economy ranking report | Eurostat education figures
• A story reported the Greek government as scrambling to prove to other eurozone members that it was capable of making "a further €325m in budget cuts". To clarify, the €325m was not a new or extra sum, but an apparent shortfall within the Greek government's existing plan for how it would achieve €3.3bn in cuts. European ministers were looking for assurances that all leaders in the Athens coalition were agreed on where this €325m in savings would be made (Eurozone ministers cancel meeting on Greece bailout, 15 February, page 21, early editions).
• Correcting a story's reference to Department for Transport data about factors contributing to accidents involving a bicycle, this column added a new mistake (Corrections and clarifications, 3 January, page 30). Instead of saying that the figures in the story related to the contribution of all vehicles in accidents where a bicycle was involved, it should have said that the specific column of DfT statistics cited in the story were for ways in which the bicycle was reported to have contributed in such accidents (Hard times bring rise in cyclist deaths, government research suggests, 28 December, page 4).
• How doctors choose to die has been updated to make clear that its author is a former (not current) clinical assistant professor of family medicine at USC.
• From glee club to Time Team: cultural education plan revealed as professionals debate state of the arts was amended to make clear that Ed Vaizey, Britain's culture minister, was challenged at a meeting to write to all councils about the value of the arts, not North Cumbria's council alone.
• Mormons apologise for baptising Simon Wiesenthal's parents was corrected because the original referred to Belzec as a concentration camp. That should have been extermination camp.
• Car insurers must crack down on 'whiplash epidemic', say MPs was corrected because it said lawyers and solicitors have been banned from receiving referral fees in the recent legal aid, sentencing and punishment of offenders bill currently going through parliament. The bill, which contains a proposed ban, is not yet law. In addition, insurers have been added to the list of those who routinely sell road accident customer details to claims management companies and personal injury lawyers.
• NHS bill eligible for new parliament debate after 100,000 sign e-petition was corrected because the original said once an e-petition crosses the 100,000 threshold, ministers have to consider the issue for debate in the Commons. In fact after reaching 100,000, an MP must take the e-petition to the backbench business committee before it is decided if the issue will be debated in the Commons.
• Vicar found dead in locked home was corrected because the original said that Thornbury, Gloucestershire, has two churches, whereas in fact it has several.
• Greece and the return of the economic 'death spiral' was amended because the original included incorrect figures from the World Bank's report ranking economies. The original said Greece ranks 158th in terms of paying taxes, below Uzbekistan in 157th place, when it should have said Greece ranks 83rd in terms of paying taxes, below Azerbaijan in 81st place. The article also originally said the report from the World Bank was from the United Nations.
• UK trails Poland and Bulgaria on adults educated to A-level standard was corrected because the heading and text said that educational data from Eurostat – the story's subject matter – were comparing what proportion of various nations' populations had completed the equivalent of English A-level exams. In fact, when the Eurostat table referred to completion of "upper secondary school" it meant GCSE or equivalent. Also, the table's heading said that the figures represented the proportion of people attaining "at least" this level – meaning that they cover the proportion of people in countries surveyed who have completed anything from GCSE level up to PhD level.
