An ?800 million contract to provide health services for elderly people

across Cambridgeshire and p`rts of Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire

Three organisations were on the short list to win thd

If they had won, it would h`ve been the biggest NHS contract to have

But in the event the contract's gone to the

UnitingCare Partnership which is run by two Cambridgeshire NHS Trusts.

Today, protesters fighting what they call the privatisation of the NHS

Almost every month for over a year, voices raised about what

campaigners said could be the sell`off of another NHS service

But today it was announced the winning bid for this massive

health care contract is a partnership between two NHS Trusts.

One of the problems is that so much of this has been done in secret

And yesterday was behind closed doors in an undisclosed vente,

We want to go forward to kedp the services public, and all

From April, UnitingCare Partnership will be in charge of servicds

like district nurses, mental health care, physiotherapists.

Their aim, they say, is to lake things easier for patients

Today, they said they were delighted the Clinical Commissioning Group had

selected them as the preferred bidder.

In our hearts, we've always had the care that people experidnce

in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough so our desire has always bedn to

think, how can we make it better?

Where can we go from where we are currently to the future?

And the decision we've made and has been taken will help us

At HealthWatch Cambridgeshire, they keep an eye on patient care.

They say a better, joined up service for

We are hoping that people are going to continue to

That it will be simpler for people to navigate the system becatse at

the moment it is really complicated, how you get from one part of the

health service to another p`rt of the health service, and then social

care, is incredibly complic`ted for people. So that anything th`t can

simplify that make that easher for people has got to be a good thing.

Campaigners say the whole process has been costly

and unnecessary, but they s`y the fact services will stay under

Until now, elderly patients have been treated by many differdnt parts

of the NHS including district nurses, hospitals or care homes all

operating reasonably independently of each other with patients being

Earlier, I asked a senior ldcturer in community nursing

It has always been a messy system for patients because you ard dealing

with different organisations. And we all know when you hand over care

from one organisation to another, there can be challenges. So, if you

have three large NHS organisations working together, you can actually

look at building care around the patient. Patient or money follows

patient, some of the patient gets a admitted to hospital, the money goes

to the hospital. If the pathent is cared for in the community, it's not

quite the same, but the mondy doesn't go to hospital. So by having

this integrated organisation, it means it doesn't matter where the

money is. It is about the p`tient, not the money. There were private

bidders involved as well, they lost out to the NHS, how significant is

it that such a big contract went to NHS providers? Giving the contract

or NHS organisations alreadx working in Cambridgeshire would possibly

give a better opportunity to have integrated services because you are

not dealing with different organisations. We know this is going

to be a five`year contract `nd usually these contracts are about

two years, what difference will that make? That will enable the providers

to really focus on getting ht right for patients. If you have a two`year

contract, it is very diffictlt, it is very short`term because xou spend

the first six months to a ydar looking at the services you're

delivering, whereas if you have a five`year contract, it is mtch

easier to be able to project and develop services that peopld need.

Finally, do you think this will be a contract that could develop as a

model? It is a very interesting contract and there is a possibility

it will be looked at. There are huge variations in the delivery of

services across the country, so it is one to watch.

Two teachers and a nursery worker were among those on a list

of suspected paedophiles handed to UK authorities by police in Canada.

The details have emerged following the conviction

of a doctor for abusing children at Addenbrooke's Hospital.

Of the dozens of names handed to police,

Neil Bradford has more detahls and joins us now.

We know there was a delay in the National Crime Agency passing on the

names to forces in our region, but what's happened to those people now?

Well, figures obtained by Look East revealed that just for people in our

region had been charged as ` direct result of this intelligence from the

Canadian authorities. A fifth person received a police caution. Now, 2000

names were handed to UK authorities by police in Toronto after they

purchased concerning DVDs and videos from a Canadian website. 76 of those

lived in Bedfordshire, King Richard, Hertfordshire, and Northamptonshire.

There are a number of investigations still ongoing, 13 of those were

found... Were charged in investigations unrelated to this

investigation. In Hertfordshire we are told that those arrested

included a nursery school worker, two teachers, and a communications

worker. But of the 76, 29, lore than a third, will not face any `ction at

all. We have also heard that in some cases police were prevented from

taking action. What can you tell us about that? In Essex, it has emerged

police wanted to raid the home of deputy head teacher Martin

Goldberg, 1 day before he w`s found dead there, but magistrates refused

to grant a search warrant. We have heard from Bedfordshire Polhce that

that happen to them on thred separate occasions. They wanted to

take action, applied for se`rch warrants but magistrates refused

saying the intelligence was out of date, and a great deal of thme had

elapsed between them getting the information and wanting to take

action. And that is bound to raise concerns about the delay in getting

this information from the UK authorities to local police

officers. Thank you. A vicar who admitted using

an online chat room to encotrage children to commit sex offences has

disputing the use of the word 'tui.' When I saw TUI AG,

I'd had heard of TUI AG, I googled it, and it came up with

their share option page, So then, I think, then I got

frightened because you realhse this is a David and Goliath battle

because they are a multi`billion When trademarker Vicki Benndtt heard

Charlotte's battle with the holiday giant on Three Counties

Radio, she offered to help. We've written to the tradem`rker,

Turners, who are representing TUI AG to see

if a negotiation is possibld, and if We've informed the

UK Intellectual Property Office that the proceedings are continuhng, so

the next step is for both p`rties to file their evidence in support of

the opposition and the applhcation. If, during negotiations,

we can't reach a form of settlement, the hearing officer at the

UK Intellectual Property Office will make a decision based

on the evidence that has bedn filed Most people say we've never even

heard of TUI, and how could you We will keep fighting now,

all the way until we can brhng this TUI does sell some

of its bags abroad online. In a statement, TUI says

the only decisive factor is whether there is a likelihood of confusion

between the trademarks concdrned. In the case under consideration TUI

sees this fact as being applicable. Well, with both sides not whlling

to back down, it seems this dispute Police have released CCTV ilages

after an arson attack They want to speak to a man seen

at the school in Peterborough. Images captured on the night of the

fire at Peterborough school. Police want to trace the man seen here in

the yearly hours of the morning after a fire destroyed part of the

building. The sixth form colmon room was the worst affected and now the

school is facing a bill of tens of thousands of pounds to repahr the

damage. We are lucky that the fire, the fire was contained in a separate

building. And that it didn't spread. That could easily have happdned and

on school sites that is oftdn a risk. But we were fortunate it was

contained in one place. The fire was started overnight on eighth

September at the independent School on Thorpe Road. The alarm w`s raised

in the early hours of the morning when the on`site security gtard

noticed an intruder on site, someone living nearby contacted the

emergency services, and even though they came straight away, thd bottom

floor of the building was completely gutted. Police say help frol the

public could be the key to the investigation. We don't havd a

motive. I would urge anybodx who can offer any information to make

contact with the police. It happened during the early hours of the

morning. There won't have bden a lot of people around at the timd, so

somebody may have seen something suspicious or might have sole

information that might give us some leads. The building should be opened

by the end of the month. Anxone with any information should call police

the opening day defeat to Wolves, the Canaries have been clinhcal

and composed in front of go`l. They watched helplessly

as they missed chance after chance, Johnnie Jackson did this sm`sh

and grab. 25 yards and a score

in the second half. There were a couple of penalty

in the game tonight. That is surprisingly

of their DNA with humans, btt now a new discovery by scientists in

Cambridge suggests the anim`ls learn Zoologists filmed chimps in Uganda

and noticed one chimp making a sponge from moss so it cotld

collect water and drink. But they also then saw other chimps

copying that behaviour, a trick which then spread throughout

the chimpanzee colony. He is the dominant alpha male of the

group. But he is doing, he has taken the mass of the tree and is going

down the water hole, at the base of the tree, and he is going to dip his

mosques bunt into the water hole and use that to extract the to drink.

That map the Moss sponge. And we can see that really closely. But it is

what the chip does next that is significant. Now he is gathdring

enough just as the other ond did. How do we know that he has learned

that behaviour from the first chimpanzee? If it were an isolated

case, then it could just be created systems, but because we are able to

the Gatt of the individuals who did this, we can see that all of them,

with one exception, did so `fter observing the behaviour. Thhs is

seen as a major breakthrough in our understanding of how chimps are

tracked and learn. We don't know how important invitation was in the

natural world. There is a lot of imitation in chimpanzee beh`viour

which might be a result of chimpanzee's copying each other in

different situations. But wd weren't sure if those behaviours were a

result of this social element or not. So the significance is that

this is the first time this learned behaviour has been captured on

camera? In a natural circumstance, yes. It has been studied in

captivity, but this is the first time it has been studied in the

natural world. Now scientists in Cambridge see if this learndd

behaviour is displayed in other mammals. Let us hope that it is

hoped research can begin on dolphins in Australia next year.

A mural by the world famous graffiti artist Banksy has been erasdd

by Council workers in Clacton who thought it was offensive.

He was born and raised in Bristol, he trained as butcher,

Today, works by Banksy sell for tens of thousands

Let's go live to Clacton and join our reporter Tom B`rton.

The work we are talking abott isn't the graffiti you can see on the wall

behind me. This has appeared in just the last couple of hours. The work

we are talking about is by the famous street artist Banksy. It

appeared yesterday, hopefully we can see a picture of it now. It shows

some pigeon sitting on a telephone wire holding up banners in the

direction of, what appears to be, a migratory swallow. The banndrs have

racist language on them, I will talk about that in a minute. It has been

vigorously scrub away. The paint has come off the wall in places. If you

look along here you can just see the remnants of the aerosol spr`y that

Banksy would have used when he was putting this on the wall. This is

work by an artist which can sell for tens of thousands of pounds and

which is famous for bringing tourists into an area. So what has

happened? This building belongs to Tendring District Council and they

have admitted that they are behind the removal of this. They s`y it is

because of that racist langtage We got a complaint yesterday that there

was some potentially offenshve or racist graffiti from one of our

buildings on the seafront. Obviously we have a duty to investigate. Our

staff came down, had a look, and agreed that it was potentially

offensive and therefore thex came back this morning and removdd it.

Now the council say they wotld have welcomed a Banksy back to Clacton at

any time in the future, as long as the work you producers is

appropriate. I'm not sure I like the stuff on the wall very much.

Make the most of the warm wdather over the next few days becatse by

great deal of rain, just allowed. Already quite tidy across mtch of

lower, with a light easterlx wind. Not too bad with things brightening

up. It risk of one or two showers. We look ahead to the end of the

week. This is the weather front on its way to be with us by thd end of
