Hello and a warm welcome to Thursday's Look East. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Eight days to save a pioneering health centre as a legal battle | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
We shouldn't be doing this in public, they should | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
so that residents can feel secure and know they have that service | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
Early intervention - how one council's making children | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
And I'm in Cambridge where the latest technology | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
has revealed the face of a man who died 700 years ago. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
Plus, if you are a fan of Countdown, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
I'm here in Northamptonshire to see how your money | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
is being spent by Comic Relief right across the eastern region. | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
There is confusion tonight about whether an urgent care centre | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
The centre treats things like broken bones, cuts, | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
or sudden back pain that can't wait for your next | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
available GP appointment but aren't serious enough for A | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
But, as we reported last night, those that run the service say | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
they aren't paid enough and will have to stop | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
Those that pay for the service say if that happens they'll find | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
Stuart Ratcliffe is outside the centre | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
This centre was designed to relieve the pressure on Kettering's A At | :01:28. | :01:40. | |
the moment, it is run by Lakeside Plus which is a private health care | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
company. They are paid to run it by the Corby clinical commission or | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
group, a group of five GP practices. They committed the health services | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
around 73,000 people in this area and they have a total budget of | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
around ?88 million. There is a real threat that a dispute, a contract | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
dispute between those two it's pitting the feature of this centre | :02:05. | :02:05. | |
in doubt. -- is putting the future. The row about the future of this | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
centre has now become a very public At its centre, the amount paid | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
to treat each patient. The managers here say they only | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
get ?44.50 per patient, below the required NHS level of 57, | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
and because of that, they can no longer continue | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
running this service. And at a rally this morning, | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
it was clear whose side I just feel that Corby Commissioning | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Group should be putting their hands in their pocket and paying a fair | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
price for a good service. Very surprised and very | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
disappointed when I heard the news and that | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
the commission weren't paying. People of Corby need this place, | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
it's been wonderful. We've well-deserved it, | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
I'm Corby born and bred and we've fought a long time | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
to have something here. Yesterday, when the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
management announced it couldn't run this centre | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
beyond March, the Clinical their contract runs until the end | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
of November, something hotly They say they have a contract | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
which clearly states The CCG went on to say | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
the centre will remain open Today, in an extraordinary | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
twist, the centre accused the CCG of | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
misinformation and spin. The wording that they've | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
used in their release doesn't reflect the true situation | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
and so that's what we are saying, it is misinformation | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
because it is not right. It is spin because what they | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
are doing is implying something that isn't | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
actually accurate in terms of securing | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
the future of an urgent care service | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
for the population of Corby. Presumably you're talking | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
to them about the transfer of the centre, are they engaging | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
with you about the future The centre says because of this lack | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
of communication, no plans It's a situation the | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
local council says is We shouldn't be doing | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
this in public, they should be sorting this out | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
so residents can feel secure and know they have that service | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
after March the 31st. The council has offered to mediate | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
between the two sides. But there's now just days left | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
for an agreement to be put in place. We did ask the CCG for an interview | :04:33. | :04:44. | |
to clarify this situation but they said they could not because of the | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
ongoing legal issues. They have issued a statement to in which they | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
say we are working to ensure that the urgent care will not close and | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
the staff who deliver the services here will remain employment after | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
the 31st of March. They go on the focus remains on upholding the | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
values of the NHS and ensuring provision of health care for the | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
people of Corby. Thank you. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Well, Tom Pursglove is the local MP for Corby and has been | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
working with both parties to resolve the deadlock. | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
He says he's convinced the centre will stay open. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
I was very reassured to hear yesterday that the urgent care | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
centre will not be closing on the 31st of March, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
This is a hugely valued service in our area, in fact, | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
I welcomed the Secretary of State for Health to come and visit because | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
personally I think Lakeside Plus have been doing a very, | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
This is a top quality service so it makes absolute sense, in my view, | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
for them to continue to provide that service beyond the 31st of March | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
and so I would encourage everybody to get around the table | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
Because the CCG won't tell us what their contingency plans are. | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Well, I'm a little bit in the dark on this as well. | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
The CCG have said to me that there will be no interruption | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
in service whatever happens and I'm determined to hold them to account | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
But it does seem patently obvious to me that the best way | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
forward is to settle these contractual disputes that there are | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
at the moment because Lakeside Plus have been doing a very good job. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Does it worry you that lots of money is being spent on lawyers and | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
contractual battles that could be spent on care? | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
I always think that if you can avoid going to lawyers | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
that is absolutely the best thing to do. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
What I want to see is as much money as possible spent on | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
We've seen quite significant increases in the health | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
spending budget from government during this parliament | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
I'm not complacent, there's always more to be done. | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
But rather than spending money on lawyers, let's get around the | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
table, let's get these parties together, let's talk about these | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
contractual difficulties that there are and try to find a way forward | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
because that's what's in the best interests | :06:51. | :06:51. | |
and people who rely upon this service. | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
How confident are you if someone sprains ankle | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
or gets a really bad burn a week on Saturday | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
there will be somewhere for them to go? | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
They won't be shipped off to the hospital. | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
Well, I'm taking the Corby Clinical Commissioning Group at their word. | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
They have guaranteed to me that this service will remain open | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
In fact, I think any interruption in service | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
at Corby Urgent Care Centre would be detrimental on the situation, | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
the wider situation in relation to Kettering General Hospital. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
So I am going to be keeping very close tabs | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
on progress, keeping the Secretary of State updated | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
and what I want to see is people come together to work | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
through these things in a constructive manner. | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
A coroner has expressed sadness that a baby who died at Luton | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
and Dunstable Hospital wasn't properly cared for by medical staff | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
10 month old Leo Stacey had severe sickness | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
and dehydration and died from a rare bowel condition in October 2015. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
His parents from Hertfordshire told Ampthill Coroner's Court | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
they believed he could have been saved. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Coroner Martin Oldham recorded a short narrative verdict saying | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
Leo hadn't been hydrated properly by hospital staff but had | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
Next tonight - it's a pioneering project aimed at protecting | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
vulnerable children in Hertfordshire. | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
And the early intervention scheme has been so successful it's | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
Bringing all the agencies involved together earlier has | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
resulted in the police attending fewer call outs for domestic abuse - | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
and a 50% reduction in cases of children | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
Mike Cartwright has been to meet some of those helped. | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
So, how's things going since I saw you two weeks ago, Angelina? | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Angelina, a mum with two young kids who was in desperate need of help. | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Donna, her social worker, helped to dramatically change her life. | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
I was going through a lot, hiding a lot of things. | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
My children would see some things that they shouldn't have seen | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
and, you know, I woke up and realised that they don't need | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
to see that any more because my boy was hitting me thinking | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
Now he kisses Mummy and he says, "I want to be like you, Mummy. | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
Her ability to parent her children was a concern. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
They were violent, I mean, very violent where | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
they would be very abusive, pinching, biting, kicking and mum | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
Like she said, she had been a victim of domestic abuse. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
And that's why it is so important for our domestic | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
abuse worker to be involved and come on board and support mum with that. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
We have seven children within this family... | :09:38. | :09:38. | |
Child services, substance abuse workers, | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
Helping parents to improve their home life | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
It's all here around the table so it's | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
a much more open and honest approach to the way that we're working | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
with families and they feel that because they know | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
that we're all talking to each other | :09:59. | :09:59. | |
and communicating and they know that there is a team of people | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
rather than separate pockets of individuals. | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
A success in Hertfordshire, Luton and Peterborough, | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
among four authorities to adopt the model. | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
I suppose instead of turning up with a | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
clipboard to say to families you're just not good enough | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
and we are now thinking about putting your children | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
giving families one more chance to engage. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
I've gone from having no confidence and thinking | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
Let's talk about how nice your shoes are. | :10:26. | :10:35. | |
A mum and her children, a second chance to be a family. | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
Mike Cartwright, BBC Look East, Hertford. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Peterborough is hoping to cash in on being named as one of the best | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
value places in Britain for the price of its commercial | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
One company says its saved thousands by moving | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
to the city and it could help some firms | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
But it's also the city's location which it's hoped will | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
Thousands of square feet of office space being made ready | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
for the next tenant, in the city now named as being one | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
of the cheapest in the country for commercial rents. | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
One of the latest move here is an education charity | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
The offices that we had in York were about half the size and | :11:22. | :11:32. | |
about three times the price so, for us, as a charity, | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
And now we're able to bring our team in from where ever | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
they are in the country for the day and if they do need an overnight | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
stay, it's generally cheaper for them here than it was before. | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
But we estimate that we've saved about ?40,000 a year on | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
our travel and accommodation costs for our staff. | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
Research from Colliers, the commercial estate agent, says if | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
you were to rent space in Manchester it would cost nearly ?30 | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
But here in Peterborough, it's almost a third of that | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Last year, more than 1500 businesses either moved or set up | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
in Peterborough and while it's not all down to office space, | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
A lot of those companies can access markets across | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
the UK and I think the infrastructure for Peterborough | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
So effectively you can look at a good price, | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
good quality office space, you can access other markets | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
and, most importantly, you can access a really good, | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
diverse workforce because don't forget, people have got to get | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
to work as well as getting products and services out of the city. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
And with the recent business rate changes, commercial renting here | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Business rate revaluation is based on rental values and, of course, | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
there is small business rates relief so if your rateable value is below | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
a certain number you could pay no rates at all. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
It'shoped that with lower business rates and | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
cheaper rent, it will attract more businesses to the city. | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
Emma Baugh, BBC Look East, Peterborough. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
That's all from me, I'm back at 10.45 with our late news | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
assets there as well and that goes on a lot. E2v itself has done that. | :13:06. | :13:20. | |
And the man who started running three years ago hoping | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
Five years ago, about 400 complete skeletons were uncovered | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
at the Old Divinity School at St John's College | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
in Cambridge, on what was the old monastery hospital. | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Now, scientists have used the latest technology to recreate the face | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
of one man who lived and died 700 years ago. | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
In a peaceful corner of Cambridge and the old Divinity School, more | :13:52. | :14:07. | |
than 400 medieval skeletons were unearthed. They were the sick or | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
people with no money cared for by monks. One skeleton found at this | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
spot has brought us face-to-face with the community we know little | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
about, the medieval poor. Across the city at this laboratory a series of | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
tests have been carried out on these bones. They revealed the man who | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
died was around 40 and Fifa to seven. By taking the skull and | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
digitally laying in muscle muscle and skin thickness a photograph from | :14:39. | :14:48. | |
the past stairs out. It is the same reaction many of the viewers will | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
have that it turns it much more from being a scientific specimen into a | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
person and we have to treat him as both at the same time. The skeleton | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
shows a wear and tear of a hard-working life and chemical | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
analysis of the bones can reveal a remarkable amount about the man | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
buried in a pauper's grave. He had a quite rich diet with a bit of fish | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
and animal protein which was is a price considering as a poor person | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
he would have eaten a lot of green. He may have had a life supplying | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
food in one way or another. A closer look suggests he could have died in | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
considerable pain. He had a condition called Galton caused by a | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
Euro classic level build-up in the bloodstream and it can be quite | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
painful. This is the beginning of a four year project. 400 skeletons are | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
boxed here awaiting analysis and although this man died before the | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
Black Death, it is thought many of the others will provide an | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
unprecedented insight into the disease that proved so fatal in the | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
medieval world. Three years ago, Dave Reading | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
smoked 60 a day and wasn't Then a doctor told him | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
something had to change. So Dave took up running and now he's | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
hoping to beat the world record for running the 837 miles | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
from Lands End to John O'Groats. In just three years, Dave has become | :16:17. | :16:32. | |
a running machine. Pounding the pavements at steady speed for him it | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
really is much, much more of a marathon than a sprint. I have only | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
been running since 2014. I was a heavy smoker and gave up and running | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
helped with the craving. Trouble is I did not know where to stop. He is | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
now taking on a truly epic challenge running all the way from lands end | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
to John O'Groats raising money for the charity walking with the | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
wounded. You are trying to run 837 miles in eight and half days, what | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
are you thinking? Hopefully raise a lot of money. It is a great cause. | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
It is a long way so we will see what happens. Daunted? A little. We have | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
driven the route and it does make you realise how far it is. Pretty | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
extraordinary feat. It represents the courage, determination, staying | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
power and mental fortitude of those that serve in the Armed Forces. Dave | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
is testament to that as a Bertrand himself but it is extraordinary. As | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
it is finding the time to train. At home his wife and eight children | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
keep him busy. He was not very good at running. He could barely make it | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
up the stairs. Can you believe him now? It is crazy. I thought he was | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
stupid but it is inspiring. He has a loyal support group. His son is | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
cycling the route. We have a toilet on-board, cooking facilities, a | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
small bed for Dave to have a rest on if he needs to have a lie down. Do | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
you think he will be up for the challenge? He is more than up for | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
it. It is not like running a marathon. I will run four marathons | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
a day so that is the equivalent and 33 marathons in eight and a half | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
days. A body is not thought to do that? Mine is. Sleep will be a | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
luxury. The record stands at just over nine days. His attempt to beat | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
it already makes him a hero. Over the last two years, | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
?1.3 million has been spent on 169 different good causes | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
in this region. And all of that money came | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
from you for Red Nose Day. And, of course, Red | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
Nose Day is tomorrow. The Countdown presenter | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
Nick Hewer has been to see how some of the money | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
was spent in Northamptonshire. All aboard the bus. A lifeline for | :19:17. | :19:34. | |
older, disabled and isolated people. It is a personal door to door bus | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
service for people who would be trapped at home without it and today | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
on board, that bloke from the telly. Without the bus life could be | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
lonely? Definitely. It is a community on the Demuth because it | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
is the same people all the time and for ?20 a year, which is what you | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
pay, it is nothing. It is fantastic, a great service, a lifeline to many. | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
Sometimes they would go on shopping trips, to craft fairs or the coast | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
but it is not about the destination, it is the journey. It is better to | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
travel than to arrive. A lot of them are isolated. If it was not for this | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
vehicle and five others, they would sit there looking at four walls and | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
doing little at all. One person looking at four walls for the best | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
part of four years was former prison officer John Jones. After two | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
amputations, kidney failure and a triple heart bypass he was a | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
prisoner in his own home with his wife who was also his carer. But | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
this bus has given him his life back. It doesn't matter where it is | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
going, it is so nice to get out and chat to different people. It is a | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
lovely atmosphere. I am a candidate for this sort of thing. I am 73, I | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
feel quite lonely sometimes. Yes there is public transport but not | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
everyone can get to the bus stop, not everyone can get on the bus. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
This bus comes to them and takes them to the best place ever, a place | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
full of friends. A place called freedom. | :21:31. | :21:31. | |
We want to hear what you're doing for Comic Relief and we want your | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
You can get in touch by email, you can post your videos on Facebook | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
We'll be showing some of your fundraising tomorrow. | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
Let's have a look at the weather. Lots of lovely spring sunshine | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
across the region today. Some beautiful blossom here in Milton | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
Keynes and a lovely scene across a field in Essex. It was feeling | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
chilly in that north-easterly breeze but things should be warmer | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
tomorrow. Tonight, clear skies does generally translate into a cold | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
night but cloud comes in from the North Sea so particularly for the | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
north eastern half of the region, temperatures staying at six or 7 | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
degrees, go further west we could record lows of three or four | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Celsius. We start tomorrow with cloud but high pressure is here and | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
it is here to stay into the weekend and beyond bringing us some | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
sunshine. We cleared the cloud away first thing tomorrow and then we see | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
good spells of sunshine and the wind will not be as strong. It will be | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
cooler on the coast, do further inland we will record highs of 12 | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
Celsius. Some good spells of sunshine for the afternoon. Looking | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
beyond, not a lot is changing. High-pressure sticks around, so a | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
fine weekend. It will stay try with good spells of sunshine but some | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
fairly chilly nights. In the next few days out of the two days of the | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
weekend, Saturday looks better in terms of sunshine. Cloudy on Sunday | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
but the fine weather will stay into next week so we will record highs of | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
30 Celsius but chilly overnight. The clocks go forward on Saturday night | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
into Sunday morning, so from all of us here, thank you for your company. | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
Good night. | :23:41. | :23:43. |
