Waiting at the hospital doors, the ambulances delayed because @ | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
departments are too busy. Chronic under funding and ctts back | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
in social care meaning the @mbulance Service is picking up the extra | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
demand. A village faces bankruptcy in the face of a ?1 million bill to | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
clear up grenades and asbestos from a playing field. A chilly forecast | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
with the risk of showers. I'll have the details later. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
First tonight, patients left in the back of an ambulance for over | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
an hour because the hospital is too busy. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
The number of patients in this region waiting more than 60 minutes | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
to be transferred into A has more than trebled in three years. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
The figures, from the East of England Ambulance Servicd, | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
This report from Mousumi Bakshi contains flashing images. | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
They may be known for their rapid responses but according | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
to a new report, ambulances across the region are | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
coming to a standstill as they queue outside hospitals | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
NHS guidelines suggest paraledics should take no longer than 05 | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
minutes to transfer patients from an ambulance into A, | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
but today's figures suggest that isn't happening. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Data obtained by the Labour Party reveals the number of peopld | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
in the East waiting for mord than 60 minutes has more than trebldd | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
in three years from almost 4,00 in 2013 to over 13,000 last year. | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
The East of England Ambulance Service said the delays meant that | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
crews were unable to treat patients in the community, a problem | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
acknowledged last month by its Chief Executive. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
There is a risk that needs to be balanced between handing ovdr | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
a patient safely in the corridor of a hospital in an emergency | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
department versus the patient who is in the community | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
with a life-threatening condition who is waiting | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
What we clearly need from the rest of the system | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
is an integrated system response to what is ultimately a system risk. | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
This former paramedic accepts that while problems occur when staff | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
aren't available to accept patients, it's not the hospital's fault. | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
Within the A department, the staff are working flat | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
out as best they can, but they can only move patidnts | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
through admission, providing there is a bed | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
That's where the problem often is, there isn't a bed available. | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
NHS England says the report demonstrates the escalating demand | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
for ambulances but insist p`tients who are critically ill | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Let's get more from our reporter Waseem Mirza. | :02:33. | :02:44. | |
This isn't actually a new problem, is it? Yes, you're right. It is not | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
a new problem, but it is worsening one. A paramedic told Look Dast that | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
the queues at hospitals beg`n to appear at hospitals a few ydars ago. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
The reason was the burgeoning population. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
A problem acknowledged tonight by unions, but they say, it is down to | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
wider funding pressures. They are very disappointing | :03:16. | :03:16. | |
for the patients that have to wait that long for an ambulance, | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
but it is part of a wider problem across the whole of the NHS | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
with chronic under funding `nd cut backa in social care meaning | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
the Ambulance Service is picking NHS England accepts there is | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
increasing demand for the Albulance Service and says it is doing its | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
best to minimise delays as for the Department of Health, they told us | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
they expect patient handovers from ambulance to A to happen within 30 | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
minutes. Accident and emergdncy departments are busy, but whth nine | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
out of ten people seen withhn four hours, hospitals, they say, are | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
performing well. Just how are hospitals faring? Well, we have | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
figures from the last financial year ending 2015. The number of `mbulance | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
patients who waited more th`n an hour for a transfer stood at 50 . At | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
Addenbrooke's it was over 300. At Luton and Dunstable it was 231. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Hospitals are fined when patients are made to wait more than 30 | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
minutes. These latest figurds suggest the problem needs a new | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
solution. Thank you very much. | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
Next, a ?1 million headache for one parish council in Northamptonshire. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
A hoard of old munitions and toxic waste has been found | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
The land used to belong to the Ministry of Defence, but | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
for now, the council's being left to clean it up. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Weedon Baracks served as a lilitary source for 160 years. | :04:40. | :04:53. | |
Weedon Baracks served as a lilitary store for 160 years. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
But did explosives which should have been kept there wind up herd, | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
buried at what later became a playground? | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
It all came to light when the parish council borrowed money earlher this | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
year to clear the mound and received a nasty surprise. | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
There was a bottle of something which was obviously quite n`sty | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
The instructions were "do not open, unauthorised access denied". | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
We also found bits of bayondts and various artefacts like that | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
Since then it has been fencdd off with 24-hour security. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
All told the parish council says sorting this place out could cost | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
That's ?1,000 for every household in the village or to put it another | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
way, ten years of income for the parish council. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
The council's chair says thd money they're having to spend, | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
We've had to borrow something like ?215,000 to sort out | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
the removal of the mound because of the bombs | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
that have been found, there is a massive increased risk. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
We have now been given a potential bill of another ?840,000 | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
And villagers are clear on who is to blame and | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
My son used to play on that play area. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
We were totally unaware of what was in that | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
Frankly, because we know of the MoD's involvement | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
in the whole area and it was their waste, they should | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
The cost of this now, you're talking hundreds and hundreds | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
of thousands of pounds and this village at the moment | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
But with no firm answer from the MoD, the weeks roll | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
by and the council gets closer to financial ruin and the mound | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
with its unexploded bombs and asbestos remains. | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
Tonight, the Ministry of Defence has told me | :06:53. | :07:04. | |
it is looking at ways it maybe able to possibly financially | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
calls possible ordnance and removing it if it is fotnd. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
The council is hoping for ndws on that by the end of this week | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Frankly, news can't come soon enough though for the people of Weddon | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
and its rapidly shrinking bank balance. | :07:18. | :07:18. | |
There is more on that story on BBC Radio Northampton's Breakfast | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
programme with Stuart Linnell, tomorrow at just after 7am. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
A murder investigation has been launched in Luton in Bedfordshire | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
after a body was found in a bin near the town centre. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |

2013 and 1st May 2014 during his time in office as PCC. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
The information on the MP which was alleged to have bden | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
passed by Mr Simmonds led to the charge of breaching | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Mr Simmonds was Northamptonshire's first PCC. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
He was based at Wootton Hall, the Northamptonshire Police HQ. | :08:44. | :08:50. | |

Join us from 6.30am for news updates during BBC Breakfast, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
but for now, here's with weather with Alex Dolan. | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
It was a chilly afternoon and that's pretty much where the weathdr is | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
going to be for much of this week with a cool north-westerly wind | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
bringing us in in some showdrs. There have been some showers across | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
Cambridgeshire heading down further south, but they're going to start | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
clearing away. So the bulk of the night is looking dry with clear | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
spells. So potentially quitd chilly, but with that brisk north-wdsterly | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
wind. Those temperatures not falling as low as they could be with lows of | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
eight or nine Celsius for most of us. So we start tomorrow with this | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
pressure pattern. High pressure trying to build in from the | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
south-west, but low pressurd lurking to our east That will mean some | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
further showers with this brisk north-westerly wind continuhng for | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
the next couple of days. A dry and bright start to the day with early | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
sunshine, but the risk of showers developing into the afternoon and | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
any of these could be heavy, possibly thundery. Lots of dry and | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
bright weather the further west you go, but further east, the greater | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
risk of showers and it will be cool with highs around 13 Celsius. And | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
that moderate north-westerlx wind. The national weather is comhng up. | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Here is our outlook. | :11:00. | :11:02. |
