A call for more money for A&E at Kettering. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
Safety talks after the drowning of two men at Bawsey Pits Nick King 's | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
Lynn. Not meeting the challenge, Northants's police force is | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
criticised. And keeping it local, how this is being used to help local | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
:00:54. | :00:55. | ||
communities. Good evening. The campaign to get | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
more funding for Kettering General Hospital was taken to Westminster | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
today. The MPs for Corby Kettering and Wellingborough met with the | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
Health Minister Dan Poulter today. The hospital has never been far from | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
the headlines in the last 12 months. It became something of a political | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
football during last year's Corby by election when the soon-to-be MP Andy | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Sawford suggested that a hospital review could mean downgrading key | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
services. In October Kettering hospital had been heavily criticised | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
by the Health Watchdog, Monitor which raised concerns about its | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
management and finances. But of most concern was the hospital's continued | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
failure to meet Accident and Emergency waiting times. Signs like | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
this have become all-too-familiar at Kettering General Hospital, as it is | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
a neat apartment struggles to keep up with demand. The growth in the | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
town has outstripped the facility here, particularly in any | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
department. We have seen 100% increase in attendances here just in | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
the last 20 years. It was built for a population that would come to | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
hospital, maybe 40,000 people we are now seeing in excess of 80,000 | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
people. Since the report, the hospital has been looking at how to | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
relieve Russia on a knee. One of those ideas is the launch of the new | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
ambulatory care centre. If you have a chronic condition, your GP can | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
refer you here instead of sending you to a knee. We have seen a | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
gradual increase in the number of patients. In the first four weeks, | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
we saw around 168 patients. That would have otherwise gone by A&E. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
One of the other problems is patients get stuck in a knee is that | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
aren't always any available about that spreads. But last month, this | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
:02:53. | :02:56. | ||
new paediatric unit opened. benefits are twofold. Whilst | :02:56. | :03:05. | |
normally, a child would go to a knee and be treated there, what we can | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
now do is stream live -- green line those patients. -- child would go to | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
A&E. The hospital says it's turnaround programme is starting to | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
work. Since October, the department has missed its waiting time targets, | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
but in the last few weeks of July, those targets have been hit. But | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
despite these state-of-the-art facilities, the hospital says the | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
A&E department will always be simply too small, which is why local MPs | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
met the health minister to lobby for more investment, and the meeting | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
appeared to go well. We will come back together with hospital and | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
commissioning groups in two months time. Will be going back to the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Department of Health to put together a strong business case supported by | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
the doctors, GPs, MPs, to say, let's get some funding because it really | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
needs it. And with cross-party support, there is growing optimism | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
at Kettering will eventually get the A&E department that the town so | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
:04:12. | :04:12. | ||
obviously needs. An independent inquiry is to be held into the | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
decision to suspend key Children's Services at Bedford Hospital. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Anxious parents were among those who attended an emergency public meeting | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
today. Hospital managers say they are working hard to restore services | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
but admitted it could be a difficult process. They came in their dozens | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
in search of answers. Concerned parents unsure of how the crisis in | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
Children's Services will affect them. Among them, this woman and a | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
rose. She listened carefully, but nothing she heard offered much in | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
the way of reassurance. I've got two children and I'm expecting my third. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
We are concerned about where we will go. I have used a knee in the past | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
and now I'm not sure what I'm then to do. -- A&E. There the crisis at | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Bedford Hospital began when junior doctors raise concerns about patient | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
safety. They felt children were being put at risk because of a lack | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
of senior staff to support them. They have now been removed from the | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
hospital, which has led to the temporary closure of some services. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
On Sunday, and balances will no longer take emergency patients to | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Bedford and from midnight on the 31st of July, the hospital's A&E | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
department will only treat adults. The mayor called today's emergency | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
meeting. I will not accept that this would happen. We need a full A&E in | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Bedford. It is wrong people have to travel 34 miles to get those | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
services. -- 25 miles. hospital's chief executive has | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
promised a full independent enquiry into what went wrong and said his | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
team is committed to bringing Children's Services back to this | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
hospital. But by his own admission, that might be easier said than done. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
My prime concern is the safety of the children. That has driven this | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
and we have had to make some hard decisions. It may well reflect on | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
whether we can retain staff that we have all weather we can recruit the | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
best staff -- or whether we can recruit. The staff here fear | :06:21. | :06:31. | |

men have been arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs, | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
following the death of a couple at Jesus Green in Cambridge. The pair | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
named locally as Kim Reid and Jimmy Sinclair were due to get married. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
They died on Tuesday despite attempts by paramedics to revive | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
them. The men arrested were both suspected drug dealers. One has been | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
released on police bail The Government has brought forward | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
improvement work on a part of the A14 in Northamptonshire. A | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
businessman accused of a quadruple murder in Northampton has appeared | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
in court today. It's alleged Anxiang Du murdered four members of the Ding | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
family at their home in Northampton back in April 2011.Our reporter Jo | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Black was in court. A university lecturer met his wife and their two | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
daughters were all found stabbed to death in their own home in Wootton | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
in Northampton. Detectives think they were killed on the day of the | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
Royal wedding. Fast forward to today in the dock at Northampton Crown | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
Court, Anxiang Du speaking through Mandarin interpreter, spoke only to | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
confirm his name. Those of you who have in following this case will | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
know he was extradited back to the UK from Morocco where he was | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
discovered by detectives. There was no leave from Anxiang Du today, that | :07:43. | :07:53. | |

will come from -- in October. owners of a former sand quarry where | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
two people drowned have been in safety talks this afternoon. The | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
bodies of a 41-year-old man from King Lynn and a 16-year-old boy from | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
Ely were pulled from Bawsey Pits near King's Lynn on Tuesday. | :08:06. | :08:16. | |

Norfolk's Fire service's dive unit is releasing these photos. You can | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
see just the weight of it is going to cause problems. Most of the weeds | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
had been removed before the photos were taken. He had to use a knife to | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
cut himself free. As soon as you get into the weed, you have got no | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
visibility and you are really restricted in movement. The | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
entanglement is everywhere. If you are a swimmer who's panicking, it | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
happens very rapidly, it spirals out of control. The quarry owners have | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
closed the access gates but today people continued to swim despite two | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
drownings at two different lakes at the same pits on the same day. It is | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
good the 16-year-old with the same distance away from the shoreline is | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
the swimmers were when he got into difficulty in the weeds. The signs | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
already running swimming, the owners held a meeting with police this | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
afternoon to see if safety could be improved. Today they spoke for the | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
first time since the tragedy. saddened and sympathies and thoughts | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
go out to the two families and their friends who were involved in all. We | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
have no powers to stop people going into our water. Lots of people have | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
lots of views that may need to start understanding and see if we can, | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
with a better solution. This footage was filmed in Norfolk Broads. This | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
tranquil on the surface, treacherous underneath. -- it is. Divers checks, | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
checking that you have got your knife, and where you have what it on | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
