warmer. That is it from us. Now the news teams where you | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
are always there for us. I suppose they are more like friends. The | :00:13. | :02:02. | |
Minimum Practice Income Guarantee is a top up payment given to some GP | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
practices. In East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, 63 surgeries receive | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
it, getting a total of £2.3 million. The NHS is phasing it out to create | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
a fairer system of funding for GPs with money shared out more | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
equitably, depending on the numbers of patients and their needs. The | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
government is choosing to take away from doctors a large sum of money | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
that we use to pay for our staff. It is inevitable this is going to | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
affect patient services. It's several tens of thousands of pounds | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
per year, per practice. GPs are going to struggle to keep going with | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
this sort of loss. Villagers here in Rippingale in Lincolnshire know what | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
effect closures can have. The doctors' shut in March, its school | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
and full—time post office have gone, too. Awful, another service gone. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
There will be people, possibly, isolated in their own homes, who we | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
don't know about, who might be suffering. It's an attractive place | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
to live but come winter some parts of the countryside can be completely | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
cut off. That's when the true value of rural surgeries is felt, but they | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
are expensive to run. Some getting twice the amount of money, per | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
patient, than city practices. The government says that has to stop. | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
It's starting in 2014. They're taking seven years to allow GP | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
practices to adjust to the fact they're only going to get paid for | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
the patients they actually have. So some surgeries will actually get | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
more money, others will have to find a way to provide the same service | :03:34. | :03:50. | |
with less. I'm joined by Dr Richard Vautrey, who represents the British | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Medical Association who speak on behalf of GPs. Good evening. What | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
effect do you think getting rid of these top up payments will have on | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
smaller GP practices? It could have a major impact. It is a direct | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
result of a government imposing unacceptable contract changes | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
against the will of GPs and against the advice of the BMA. They simply | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
did not listen to us about how damaging these changes could lead if | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
they did not implement them in the right way. Isn't this just GPs | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
saying that they want more money? It is not about more money, it is about | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
how the money is distributed. There will be some practices the game as a | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
result of this process but there will inevitably be some outliers and | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
it might well be that some small, rural practices would not be | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
sustainable on a national contract will need that additional money to | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
enable services to continue. If you see more patients, you should get | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
more money, it is as simple as that, surely? We should ensure that | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
practices can be sustainable but there are some special | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
circumstances. Some practices will not be sustainable. We have to look | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
at each individual practice very carefully. There will be those | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
outliers that need to be looked at. People will be interested in this | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
from rural places. Could some GP surgeries have to close down because | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
they cannot be sustained? I hope that is not the case, but it could | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
be, if the Government does not work with us closely and come up with | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
answers quickly. Practices need—to—know, because this is | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
starting from April next year, and at the moment the Government and NHS | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
England, charged with putting these plans in place, are simply not | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
giving us answers to the questions that we are asking. I'm sure you | :05:49. | :06:01. | |
will have a view on this story, should rural GPs continue to receive | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
extra funding from the Government? Or maybe you think these rural | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
services don't need protecting? We have lost post offices and village | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
shops. Should GP surgeries be ring fenced? You can contact us. | :06:09. | :06:18. | |
In a moment, no guarantees on the future of Lincolnshire's Police | :06:18. | :06:29. | |
commissioner as investigations continue into why he suspended his | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
Chief Constable. It's the busiest time of year for our seaside resorts | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
but one of the main sea front car parks in Skegness will be closed | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
over the weekend after more than a hundred travellers set up camp. East | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
Lindsey District Council says it started legal proceedings as soon as | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
they arrived and hopes to minimise disruption. The travellers who say | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
they've come to Skegness for a celebration, thought to be a wedding | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
could now be forcibly removed. Jessica Lane reports. It is a | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
300—space car park on the seafront with no room for holiday—makers. It | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
has become a travellers site for 100 people and more are expected. The | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
local government secretary Eric Pickles said that councils must act | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
quickly to clamp down on all authorised travellers sites. When | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
this issue happened, the relative is that there was a clear process that | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
we have to go through, in law, and we cannot deviate from that, | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
otherwise we will get nowhere. They have to get court permission to | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
serve the travellers with notice and if they do | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
days they can be forcibly removed. We have spoken to some of the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
travellers. None wanted to be interviewed but they said they are | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
here for a family gathering and say that they are not planning to stay | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
long—term. One business owner says he welcomes custom from everyone. We | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
had the bar for last night from locals and the travelling community | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
and they got on fantastically well, no problems at all. Townspeople say | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
they are concerned about the possibility of trouble. They have a | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
pitch, they should keep to it. I would have thought they could have | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
picked a better place than a seaside town. The police told me that | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
travellers come every year but there is no increase in crime connected | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
with their visit. They put extra officers on patrol during the summer | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
months but are not concerned about trouble over the weekend. The | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
council says that there will be 24—hour security around car parks in | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
the town to make sure that the rest remain open. Jessica is that the | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
travellers camp in Skegness at the moment. Is there any indication how | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
long they are going to stay? The travellers I have spoke to said they | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
don't expect to be here much longer than the weekend, but this is quite | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
a sensitive issue for Skegness. In 2000, as some people might | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
remember, hundreds of travellers came over Christmas and New Year. It | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
meant some of the bars and clubs closed for a short time. Everyone I | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
have spoken to has said they do not expect anything like that to happen | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
this time round. The police expect this to be a peaceful visit and they | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
expect the travellers to be leaving early next week. A reminder of the | :09:26. | :09:38. | |
ways that you can contact us. Thank you for watching. A children's | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
paddling pool in Hull — believed to be source of a bacteria that made | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
children ill — is to stay closed for the rest of the summer. 18 children | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
from Hull and East Yorkshire had the cryptospiridium bug. Hull City | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
Council says the pool at East Park is still being tested for bacteria. | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
Network Rail says is doesn't know when it will be able to lift a new | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
railway bridge into place in Hull. Engineers say they're being delayed | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
by ground conditions as they try to dig concrete piles. Traffic on | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
Spring Bank is still disrupted. An influential committee of MPs is to | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
visit Lincolnshire as part of its investigation into the role of | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
police and crime commissioners. The Home Affairs Select Committee has | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
criticised the way Lincolnshire's Chief Constable was suspended by the | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
force's commissioner, Alan Hardwick. Yesterday, a report into that | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
suspension cleared the chief constable Neil Rhodes of any | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
wrongdoing. However, the select committee believes questions still | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
remain about the way the matter was handled by the commissioner. It is | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
very clear that there are lessons to be learned as a result of what | :10:49. | :10:59. | |
happened over this issue and I think that Peter Fahey's report draws a | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
line under this issue but people need to learn the lessons that come | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
out of this sorry state of affairs. This story has had a lot of response | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
after we talked about it last night. That is a reference to the crime | :11:13. | :12:02. | |
commission. —— commissioner. Alan Hardwick is also under scrutiny from | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
the Lincolnshire Police and Crime Panel. I spoke to Chris Cook who's | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
leading their investigation and asked him whether they had full | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
confidence in the commissioner. We are looking at the investigation | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
from Sir Peter Fahey. We are carrying out a full review, and we | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
cannot comment on it until we interview the Commissioner, himself. | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
Some viewers have said that Alan Hardwick has lost all credibility. | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
the Commissioner is a waste of time, and that he must now resign. There | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
are two issues, the suspension and the investigation. He was right to | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
launch that investigation. We are looking at the suspension, as a | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
panel. Is it working for him as a Commissioner? It is too early to | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
say. It was new territory for the Commissioner. We are looking at | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
that, as part of our review —— as part of our review. That is not a | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
ringing endorsement. It is still too early to say. Your department's | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
handling of this has been described as shambolic by Keith Vaz MP. Is | :13:11. | :13:20. | |
that right? We have got full control of the situation. You think that the | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
legal bill of £37,000 is money well spent when police budgets are being | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
cut? We look at all the costs, we need to look at the costs of Neil | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
Rhodes, as well in this. We'll Alan Hardwick the Commissioner in a year | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
from now? He was elected as Commissioner last year and it is not | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
in my remit to say that. Will you want Neil Rhodes for this job after | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
everything he has been through? This has been an open, transparent | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
process and if Neil Rhodes applies for that, he will go through this | :13:57. | :14:09. | |
process accordingly. And the story goes on. Coming up on the programme. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Setting off on a Premier League journey, Hull city are back in the | :14:13. | :14:25. | |
big time. And we're celebrating the Wolds Way — which after more than 30 | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
years — still brings a million people to East Yorkshire each year. | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
Some fantastic pictures coming up in a moment. If you have got a good one | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
to send to us, this one is of the Yorkshire walls near Driffield. —— | :14:39. | :14:53. | |
Wolds. Good evening, Keeley Donovan. One viewer has said that they would | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
like a calendar that will count down to the next holiday for Paul, and if | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
you could put it on the back of a signed photograph, that would be | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
better. Thank you very much for that. I want see you for another | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
week, Peter, how will you get by? Temperatures rose to 24 Celsius | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
today, and it will be more unsettled tomorrow. We'll be breezy with rain | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
at times. You can see those isobars tightly packed. On Sunday it will be | :15:33. | :15:45. | |
breezier still. We have had some good spells of sunshine today. | :15:46. | :15:46. | |
Temperatures reaching It will stay dry tonight. Cloud will | :15:46. | :15:57. | |
tend to thicken with temperatures falling back to around 13 Celsius. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
Tomorrow morning, that Breeze will pick up. | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
Chamorro, cloud will continue to thicken. It will not be washed out, | :16:10. | :16:20. | |
but it will be quite breezy, so it could feel cooler, and we will have | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
spells of rain pushing in from the west. The breeze is going to pick up | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
later tonight and into tomorrow, it could become gusty at times with | :16:30. | :16:42. | |
temperatures tempered by that breeze. Sunday is going to be | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
brighter. You cannot rule out some showers across parts of | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
Lincolnshire. It will still be correct breezy. It will be variable | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
cloud and more breezy weather on Monday. Some fine weather to come as | :16:59. | :17:07. | |
pressure builds next week. I was cruel reading out that letter from | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
Keith, and embarrassing him. It is Keith Taylor of Laceby Road, | :17:11. | :17:23. | |
Grimsby. He likes you! Have a nice weekend. A farmer from East | :17:23. | :17:33. | |
Yorkshire has narrowly missed out on a place in the Guinness Book of | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
Records, for growing the world's biggest yield of barley. John | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
Porter, who's farm is near Aldborough, had a crop which | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
measured at 11.9 tonnes for every two and a half acres but needed 12.2 | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
tonnes for a place in the record books. It's just 48 hours before | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
Hull City step out on to football's biggest stage. The Tigers kick—off | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
their Premier League campaign at the pre—season favourites Chelsea who | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
have Jose Mourinho back in charge. Our sports reporter Simon Clark has | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
been talking to the fans about The Tigers' chances for the coming | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
season. They were taking time out from the harvest at this east | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
Yorkshire farm today. The lifelong Hull City fan was looking ahead to a | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Premier league season starting at Chelsea. Looking at the game on | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
Sunday against Chelsea, that is a day out, and we will have a hard | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
graft to get points at home, so survival is key. The Premier league | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
is going to be harder than the last time, but we have got better players | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
and a better manager, so hopefully we will be all right. Obviously | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
playing all these big teams again, hopefully, we can stay in the | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
Premier league longer the last time. Nobody knows what the players are | :18:50. | :19:02. | |
feeling better than Dean Windass. He is confident that the club can | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
progress. I think anything is a bonus, if you stay up, if you finish | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
fourth from bottom, that is a massive achievement. Mike Morgan has | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
written about the Tigers for three decades for national newspapers. He | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
thinks that they will do OK this season. It is the younger guys who | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
could be a surprise package that I am looking forward to. And this is | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
the man plotting the downfall of the Tigers. He is called Jose. Teams | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
come from the lower divisions with the fantastic mentality. These are a | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
team that we have to look at these matches. All roads lead to Stamford | :19:55. | :20:03. | |
Bridge, it seems, but this one will take you to your. This will be | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
watched in 183 different countries. Millions of people around the world | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
will be watching Hull City this weekend. So, the Tiger nation is on | :20:15. | :20:25. | |
the move. Destination, Premier League. Someone | :20:25. | :20:38. | |
to Stamford Bridge by mistake. BBC Radio Humberside will have full | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
commentary on Hull City's first match back in the Premier League on | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
Sunday, the coverage starts from three o'clock. Before that they will | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
have commentary on Scunthorpe United's match against Dagenham and | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Redbridge tomorrow on their FM frequency. Grimsby Town's match at | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
Welling will be on AM, DAB and online. BBC Radio Lincolnshire will | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
have full commentary of Lincoln City match against Forest Green. | :20:55. | :21:03. | |
After their derby win, Hull FC play Salford where another victory could | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
guarantee a place in the play—offs. Both teams suffered injuries to | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
players in the game, but Coach Peter Gentle says his side is fully | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
focussed on tonight's match despite their Challenge Cup final only a | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
week away. I think that they will be a dangerous proposition. Ryan | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
McGoldrick will come back to haunt us. We are expecting them, so we | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
will try and protect ourselves. We have got to go at it full tilt. And | :21:28. | :21:37. | |
you can hear commentary of Hull FC's game tonight on BBC Radio | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
Humberside. Kick—off in that match is at 8pm. And they've also coverage | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
from Hull KR's match with Leeds Rhinos from eight o'clock as well. | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
140 tribute acts will arrive in East Yorkshire this weekend for a music | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
festival. Tribfest, which is in its seventh year will feature groups | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
paying homage to acts like Pink Floyd and the Kings of Leon at | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
Sledmere House near Driffield. When we first started out, we could not | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
afford it, and now we are in the ideal place, miles from anywhere, a | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
beautiful sight. It is the Knebworth of the North! For more than 30 years | :22:18. | :22:31. | |
the Yorkshire Wolds Way has been one of our most scenic and inspiring | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
walks. These days its enjoyed by almost a million people every year | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
but despite that many parts remain largely undiscovered. Over the next | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
four weeks our Environment Correspondent Phil Connell will | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
explore the walks future and meet some of the people who live and work | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
on this dramatic landscape. Tonight he looks at the history of the Wolds | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
Way and how this special part of Yorkshire became a designated | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
National Trail. It could be Yorkshire's best kept secret. After | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
30 years as a recognised tourist attraction, the Wolds Way still seen | :23:01. | :23:12. | |
as an undiscovered gem. It is a journey that starts at the Humber | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
Bridge and winds its way through 79 miles of countryside, ending in the | :23:16. | :23:25. | |
seaside town of Filey. To walk it comfortably takes five or six days. | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
In the 1960s, the story of the Wolds Way began. A group of local ramblers | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
were to have this, their favourite area, recognised as a designated | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
walk. It took 14 years of campaigning but in 1982, the Wolds | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
Way was created and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
around 800,000 people walk parts of the Wolds Way every year. Each of | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
them grateful to those early campaigners, who fought to establish | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
a legal right of way. It was violent at times. The gamekeepers were a bit | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
hard. They had sticks on them. Put people in hospital, and in court, | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
and in prison, but it is a good legacy. Today, preserving the legacy | :24:16. | :24:24. | |
has fallen to a new generation of walkers. These ramblers from Market | :24:24. | :24:34. | |
Weeton walk here at responsibly. —— at least once a week. Do you feel | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
selfish keeping this as a well—kept secret for Yorkshire? A little bit, | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
yes. The distinctive landscape enjoyed by | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
ramblers is also steeped in history. Ancient churches are often | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
at the centre of village life and a long the Wolds Way there is one | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
local family to thank for their survival. This church was pretty | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
much derelict and required a massive amount of work because it had been | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
neglected. employed to renovate 19 local | :25:18. | :25:26. | |
churches. Saint Edith's at Bishop Wilton is a fine example. The floor | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
is an exact copy of one you would find in the Vatican. It is work that | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
today would have cost millions of pounds, and all that was paid for by | :25:35. | :25:47. | |
Sir Tatton Sykes and his son. What would have happened to this church? | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
It would have been derelict. It has been completely reconstructed. That | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
is what would have happened. These churches were not just built for | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
worship, but the people to do all kinds of social things, to have | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
parties, this was the community centre, if you like. Along the | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
route, there are many more secret gems to be found. Behind this | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
beauty, hundreds of years of history is waiting to be discovered. The | :26:18. | :26:31. | |
beautiful place that we live in. We are very lucky. We should never take | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
it for granted. Some fantastic shots from cameraman, Peter Thompson. | :26:37. | :26:45. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines. More | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
bloodshed in Egypt — at least 38 people have been killed today in | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
clashes between protesters and security forces. People have been | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
warned that they could lose GPs surgeries in rural areas because of | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
changes to funding. And the weather, Ted Richards getting up to around 20 | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
sources, with breezes and showers. You have been getting in touch about | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
GP surgeries in rural areas. Daniel has said, it is always rural areas | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
that suffer. We are paying higher taxes than ever. The government | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
gives billions of money to overseas aid whilst standards of living | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
decline. And talking about the travellers arriving in Skegness. | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
John says why don't the police get down there and check their vehicles | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
and move them on? Philip says, why do the councils allow these people | :27:35. | :27:42. | |
to park up and upset locals? Thank you for getting in touch not just a | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
night but this week. Have a good weekend. | :27:46. | :27:47. |
