And that is all from us for this evening. Now on BBC One, it | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Figures obtained by the BBC show a growing number of young people with | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
mental health problems in East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
are being treated on adult wards ` OR in units outside the region. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
Tonight the Government Minister for Care has told Look North that the | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
situation is "intolerable". Sarah Corker reports. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Back home in Hull, a safe and familiar place for mother and | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
daughter. But this teenager has suffered severe mental problems. For | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
four months, she was treated more than 100 miles away in Cheshire. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
That distance difficult for the family to cope with. We've changed | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
their voices to protect their identity. It was absolutely | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
horrific. The biggest impact was on her mental health. She just needed | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
her mum. She was frightened, she was alone, she was in a strange place. | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
She didn't know what was real. Even looking out of the window, nothing | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
was familiar. She was on the phone crying to me every day. I saw her a | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
few hours a week, if that. It was really scary because all I wanted | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
was my mum. It delayed my recovery because I had no`one to talk to. I | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
was really alone. I wanted my family and friends, and there wasn't | :01:31. | :01:43. | |
anywhere to go. Since residential care was withdrawn from this unit | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
last year in Hessle, the closest beds for round`the`clock care have | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
been in Leeds and York. NHS England says that while every effort is made | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
to place patients as close to home as possible, there are times when | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
due to specific needs and the number of beds locally, patients are placed | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
further afield. In the past two years, nine children and teenagers | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
with mental health problems were sent out of the East Riding for | :02:04. | :02:13. | |
care. In the last year, that number's increased to 12. Some | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
travelling as far afield as Colchester, 194 miles away. And on | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
four occasions, teenagers aged between 16`18 were admitted to adult | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
wards. They should not be treated in adult wards. It's questionable | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
whether that's legal. Best practice demands that doesn't happen. It is | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
becoming even more scandalous. We need the west End unit or an | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
equivalent to reopen. The Department of Health says it's investing ?54 | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
million to improve services. This is intolerable. I've met with Alan | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Johnson and families involved, and I've made it clear we ought to | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
ensure children are cared for as close to home as is possible. I'm on | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
a mission to improve the standards of mental health care. A national | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
review is now under way into the number of beds available for young | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
people with severe mental illness. Sarah joins us now from Hessle. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Sarah, the Government says it is addressing the problem. What | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
improvements are being made? Yes, well, the health minister Norman | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Lamb says he's determined to make sure mental health is always treated | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
as seriously as physical health. There is a three`month review, | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
so`called rapid review, underwear into this situation. There is a push | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
to treat more young people in the community at home rather than | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
hospitals. Parents are continuing to complain to get this residential | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
unit reopened. It was closed because it failed to meet national | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
guidelines. The NHS says it is providing better care elsewhere. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Sarah, thanks. A man who broke his back after | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
falling from faulty scaffolding, says the builder who employed him | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
should have been punished more severely. Robert Wilkin from Lincoln | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
fell from scaffolding at a warehouse last year. Rodney Foyster ` the man | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
who hired him ` received a four`month suspended prison sentence | :04:03. | :04:13. | |
earlier today. Last week Lincolnshire's Police and Crime | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Commissioner Alan Hardwick told Look North that the fight against rural | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
crime remains one of his top priorities. But a farmer who's had | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
hundreds of pounds of diesel stolen says it's not worth reporting | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
similar crimes because the police don't follow them up. Crispin Rolfe | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
reports. Closing the gate on rural crime ` | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
all too late for Simon Hawkes. Just a week after Lincolnshire's crime | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
commissioner made cracking down on farm theft a police priority, this | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
East Kirkby farmer has had fuel and two valuable tractors stolen. Now, | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
after being told police won't investigate the diesel theft | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
further, he's questioning whether it's worth reporting smaller crimes | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
in future. They're not going to achieve anything. There's no point | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
wasting time trying to do it. That is on small thefts and small crimes. | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
I think the big crimes, two tractors going missing, we would want the | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
police here as soon as possible. And here's why Simon's disillusioned. A | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
letter from Lincolnshire Police saying that: Though it does say | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
that: And that's the message the county's | :05:13. | :05:28. | |
police and crime commissioner, Alan Hardwick, is now trying to send, | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
with officers insisting they'd rather farmers over rather than | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
under`reported incidents, even if it that doesn't necessarily result in | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
immediate arrests. I would far rather send an officer | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
to a suspicious incident that turns out to be nothing thatn not send an | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
officer at all. With the case you mentioned earlier, somebody heard | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
tractors starting at two o'clock in the morning, but didn't contact the | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
police. Alan Hardwick met with farmers last week in order to | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
reassure them of his claims that rural crime is falling. Police admit | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
the county remains a hot spots, with ?1.8 million worth of goods stolen | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
each year. The most common items are quad bikes, tools and fuel. In an | :06:18. | :06:31. | |
age of CCTV, then, this seems to come down to a question of | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
communication, with the National Farmers Union encouraging farmers to | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
talk to the police more ` though officers acknowledge they still have | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
work to do to convince farmers that they're not wasting police time. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Time for the weather now with Keeley. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Hello there. Good evening. A bright and breezy day to come tomorrow. A | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
cooler day than of late as well. Tonight's going to be quite chilly, | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
too. It will be largely dry with clear spells, and temperatures will | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
drop low enough for a touch of ground frost, particularly out in | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
the sheltered countryside. A blustery day to come tomorrow. The | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
breeze will remain strong, but as you can see, there'll be plenty of | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
dry and bright weather about. There'll be some decent spells of | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
sunshine, a few showers, but many places staying dry. Temperatures | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
seven or eight. Saturday the best day of the weekend. Some rain to | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
come on Sunday. Both days will be windy. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
the outlook. On Sunday, we have grey skies and a bit of drizzle, too. | :07:30. | :07:39. | |
Good evening. You may have had the latest from the Met Office about the | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
rainfall we have had this winter, the wettest winter on record. It is | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
sometimes difficult to visualise the numbers. Let me explain how much | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
rain we had. If you think about a stretch of land across the UK, we | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
had about half a metre of rainfall falling so far this winter. That is, | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
if | :08:03. | :08:03. |
