will be watching for

improvements closely. What is the hospital doing about it

:02:34.:02:50.

all? I put it to the deputy earlier. The inspection was in June and we

:02:51.:02:54.

were straight on some of the immediate issues and have attacked

:02:55.:03:02.

those with vigour. This is a very doable transformation because

:03:03.:03:06.

they're CQC Will clear. This is not about clinical outcomes or patient

:03:07.:03:10.

experience. This is about process and this makes it easier to do.

:03:11.:03:39.

In the report there are some grim readings from patients

:03:40.:03:41.

The fridges in the mortuary not being fit for purpose or delays

:03:42.:03:45.

in answering call bells from some of the surgical wards.

:03:46.:03:48.

That seems to show disrespect to the patients in a way.

:03:49.:03:50.

What is your message to them tonight?

:03:51.:03:52.

Certainly the mortuary environment needed refurbishment

:03:53.:03:55.

but we were quite clear we did not have last year the capital

:03:56.:03:58.

There was never any risk to any of our diseased patients.

:03:59.:04:02.

The temperature recordings were all within limits

:04:03.:04:03.

and the refurbishment has already been completed and a final

:04:04.:04:06.

inspection will take place in December.

:04:07.:04:07.

The call bell issue is a direct part of the staffing issues

:04:08.:04:10.

which we worked hard to make sure we have enough staff on the wards

:04:11.:04:13.

to answer the call bells quickly, particularly

:04:14.:04:15.

That has demonstrated an improvement since June.

:04:16.:04:18.

What will you do as a leadership role to make things better?

:04:19.:04:22.

My job is to drive those improvements and I think

:04:23.:04:24.

with extra financial support, extra support for the buildings

:04:25.:04:26.

that we need and are badly in need of repair that people have known

:04:27.:04:30.

The support from our stakeholders I think the quality and the level

:04:31.:04:35.

of improvement really will be very clear for the CQC to see next year.

:04:36.:04:40.

Are you hoping everything can be in place by next year?

:04:41.:04:43.

We are but we need some support from our commissioners

:04:44.:04:48.

and from primary care because there is more that we need.

:04:49.:04:53.

We need at least 60 extra beds in hospital, we need Health

:04:54.:04:55.

and Social Care beds in the community,

:04:56.:05:00.

we need access to end of life facilities outside.

:05:01.:05:04.

It is not all within our bailiwick but as long as we have the support

:05:05.:05:09.

of the Health and Social Care and regulators, I do believe

:05:10.:05:12.

we are the right team to lead this organisation forward.

:05:13.:05:26.

In other news, a murder investigation has been launched

:05:27.:05:28.

in Luton in Bedfordshire after a body was found in a bin

:05:29.:05:31.

The male corpse was discovered at about 9 o'clock last night.

:05:32.:05:44.

The body was found on Essex close. Police say it could have been that

:05:45.:05:51.

the several days. We don't know who the man was or how he came to die

:05:52.:05:55.

but people living in the nearby area say they have been left worried.

:05:56.:06:01.

Everyone is our block is saying they want to move out of here. It is so

:06:02.:06:06.

terrifying. You don't know when the next attack will be. There was

:06:07.:06:11.

shooting around the corner. Shocked it can be found so close to where

:06:12.:06:16.

are working. We walked down here every day and there is always kids

:06:17.:06:23.

about. It is worrying that you could find a body that close. You hear

:06:24.:06:30.

about it in the newspapers but never know it will happen yet -- here.

:06:31.:06:35.

They are linking it with the death of a woman on Essex close. The body

:06:36.:06:40.

was found on Monday 10th of October and initially it was being treated

:06:41.:06:43.

as an unexplained death. Detectives say they are looking into the

:06:44.:06:48.

possibility that she was also murdered. They say this is a complex

:06:49.:06:53.

investigation and working to establish how both the man and the

:06:54.:06:58.

woman to die. A man arrested on two counts of murder remains in police

:06:59.:07:00.

custody. The future of a health care complex

:07:01.:07:15.

has been thrown into disarray tonight. This has come out of the

:07:16.:07:27.

blue. Rumour started seeping out early this evening. For anyone who

:07:28.:07:32.

works at Addenbrooke's, the forum was supposed to be a health and

:07:33.:07:36.

leisure complex for both staffs and patience. It was made up of a

:07:37.:07:43.

private hospital, a hotel and an education centre. Addenbrooke's deal

:07:44.:07:48.

with the contractors to build on the biomedical campus almost three years

:07:49.:07:53.

ago. It was heralded as a first for the NHS with private money funding

:07:54.:07:56.

the project but Addenbrooke's taking a cut of the project -- profits.

:07:57.:08:03.

That was in 2013. The building was meant to be opening this summer but

:08:04.:08:08.

that date has come and gone and with Ramsey Health Care pulling out,

:08:09.:08:18.

there is no time for this. They wonder whether relationships broke

:08:19.:08:19.

down. They declined to be drawn on down. They declined to be drawn on

:08:20.:08:27.

the matter. Tonight, Addenbrooke's expressed disappointment with the

:08:28.:08:30.

decision but said other parties have now come forward. Unemployment has

:08:31.:08:35.

risen for the first time in four months but the number of people in

:08:36.:08:40.

work is still at a record high. The total out of work stands at 120

:08:41.:08:46.

3000. A rise of 11,000 on the previous quarter. The regional

:08:47.:08:50.

unemployment rate is 3.9% compared with 4.9 nationally. 600 jobs are at

:08:51.:09:00.

risk at Travis Perkins. They are closing 30 branches, ten

:09:01.:09:03.

distribution centres and the government says the job market is

:09:04.:09:09.

buoyant. It is always a matter of disappointment when jobs go in for

:09:10.:09:12.

the individuals and families concerned it can be a period of

:09:13.:09:16.

uncertainty. Overall, more jobs are being created then going and that is

:09:17.:09:23.

why we have kept the employment rate as it is. We hope people can get

:09:24.:09:27.

into suitable employment quickly. The rest of the night looks clear

:09:28.:09:45.

with some showers out there. Temperatures down to nine Celsius.

:09:46.:09:49.

The pressure put on tomorrow is similar to today. Showers moving

:09:50.:09:55.

further east. The centre of that low moving away and high-pressure moving

:09:56.:10:02.

in from the west. Dry weather around but still the risk of some showers.

:10:03.:10:10.

Hopefully some sunshine as well. Quite a brisk breeze with highs of

:10:11.:10:16.

13 Celsius. The National Weather Service coming up. Here is our

:10:17.:10:19.

outlook and it is reasonably settled. Dry and bright weather

:10:20.:10:24.

around. An easterly wind develops.

:10:25.:10:26.
