it's goodbye On Look North at 6.30: Thousands of

patients are forced to wait for Good evening and welcome to

BBC Look North. Thousands of patients face

delays to see a doctor becatse Two senior doctors have had to stay

on because we cannot get replacements.

England's quite a rubbish tdam, and Thousands of patients are bding

forced to wait to see a doctor because GPs don't want to work

in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The group that represents them says

hundreds of training positions the East Midlands ` which includes

Lincolnshire ` 38% are vacant. In Yorkshire

and the Humber the figure is 23 . Both are much higher that

the national average of 13%. The British Medical Association says

GP services are in crisis, ` claim denied by the Government whhch says

that nationally it's recruited ,000 GPs are, they say, busier than ever.

They're seeing an extra 40 lillion patients compared to five ydars ago.

But fewer new doctors are opting to train in general practice.

Francesca Wright is a junior doctor and doing a GP placement in

Immingham. She says others `re being put off by the Government's promise

to extend opening hours. We have been given the imprdssion

there will be more on calls and night shift, certainly out of hours

shift and weekends. I think a lot of the attraction for some people is

now perhaps not there any more. At Peter Melton's practice, two

senior GPs have been unable to retire because they can't rdcruit

behind them. Last year, doctors were givdn more

responsibility for healthcare in their own areas.

A spokesman for the Departmdnt of Health insists that the recdnt

reforms should have strengthened Services. I have done this before. I

have worked long hours. Why should I put myself through that agahn? They

haven't explained the real reasons behind this. Was it financi`l? We

don't know. Doctors leaders are warning with this increase hn

shortage of GPs, especially in our area, the situation is likely to

deteriorate further. Dr Chaand Nagpaul is the ch`ir

of the British Medical He joins me now

from the association's annu`l They

haven't explained the real reasons behind this. Was it financi`l? We

don't know. Doctors leaders are warning with this increase hn

shortage of GPs, especially in our overwhelmed with the demand on our

time. We do not have enough GPs enough practice necessaries, enough

points month `` enough practice nurses. We are overwhelmed with an

increasing number of patients who need our services. We just haven't

had an increase in capacity. We are dealing with four or five chronic

conditions. A lot of care is moving out of hospitals, so it is simply a

mismatch between demand and capacity. It is not just

recruitment. GPs are retiring early. In a BMA survey, quarter of GPs were

considering quitting altogether Is it scaremongering on your p`rt? I

can honestly say it would bd folly to write this offer scaremongering.

This is something the department must take seriously. We had a 1 %

reduction in the number of xoung doctors who chose to become GPs We

have 451 places unfilled. What other pressures GPs say they are tnder? I

doctors not as robust as thdy once were? Young doctors choose to work

at hospitals rather than surgeries, because I think what is not being

understood by the government is that the pressures on being a GP are

intolerable for many doctors. We are seeing 25 patients at ten mhnute

intervals. Each one requires an intense consultation. You h`ve huge

amounts of paperwork. The d`y is absolutely packed. But what about

some of the remaining GPs. We'll have to get rid of some of their

patients? `` will they have to get rid of some of their patients? We

need to make sure patients `re treated safely. If they are unable

to recruit a doctor in practice if they have unfilled vacancies,

clearly, they must make surd patients are served safely. In the

situations, these practices have had dialogue with NHS England on how to

resolve that. Very good to have you on the programme. Thank you for

joining us. Have you found it difficult to get

an appointment because of a GP Perhaps you are a GP `

what is the pressure like on you? What can be done to get mord doctors

to want to come and work in In a moment:

People in Lincolnshire are `sked to raise funds for a new helip`d which

could treat injured patients faster. Millions of pounds

of taxpayers money is being wasted on cleaning up rubbish across

East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire On the Lincolnshire coast alone

the cost is ?1 million everx year. It's money that the local council

says would be better spent dlsewhere if people would take responsibility

and simply pick up their litter A sunny day at the beach, btt you

don't have to look far to fhnd litter.

I have no idea what makes pdople do it, it is a lack of personal

responsibility. ?1 million hs a lot of money. I will not tell you what

my favourite things will be spent the money but it could be spent more

And it's not just lazy seashde visitors that are causing

the problem, East Lindsey Dhstrict Council?s new campaign incltdes hard

hitting messages about dog fouling and fly tipping aimed at residents.

There has been an increase, what is causing it we have no idea. It is

down to the individual. The individual dog owner that allows the

dog to foul and leaves it. Ht is about responsibility and

responsibility are putting xour rubbish in the bin, do not leave it

We see people drop litter and it is frustrating. Our powers are limited.

We have to clean up the mess and hopefully something more

constructive can be done long`term. It is hoped the campaign will reach

the conscience of those responsible. Earlier,

I spoke to Samantha Harding from the I asked what she thinks

of people who drop litter. Earlier,

I spoke to Samantha Harding from the I asked what she thinks

of people who drop litter. I don't know why people can't think

for themselves when they get up from the beach or they get up from a

beautiful picnic in the loc`l park or the countryside that thex are

just going to take to their house or to a local bin all the pack`ging

they've created through the picnic. While there is no sanction,

while there is no fine, Essentially, littering is

a consequence`free crime. But the fact is, in law, it is

a crime to drop litter, and I think Would you like to see a big fine

for everyone who's caught? I think people who drop litter

should be fined the ?80 the law But the Government don't do

a thing about it. It's not the national government who

would do it, it's local councils, and I know some

of them do have problems resourcing I think those that can really

should try to do it properlx. I saw a lorry driver throw

a plastic Coke bottle out What do you think of somebody

like that? What's the psychology behind that,

that they think it's accept`ble to There's some research

into lorry drivers and haulhers in general, they don't want to stop

the truck, because they essdntially live in their truck,

they don't want to dirty it, so they throw a lot of littdr out,

even by their own admission. We think hauliers should have

almost like a code of conduct where they agree they won't throw

things out their windows at all On the film, we were talking about

the beach, people go to the beach, Because they're just not thhnking,

which I think is a disgrace. They're probably sat there thinking,

we're having a lovely time, then they leave behind this

disgusting mess that either doesn't get cleared up, that someond else

has to pick up, or it gets washed Your message to people who

still do this is what? For those of you who are sthll

dropping it, stop doing it. It's costing us ?1 billion to

pick it up, so stop doing it. How do we stop people

dropping litter? Do you think we need

stronger penalties? The mother of a toddler who drowned

in the bath had eight different drugs in her system at the time he

died, a court has been told. 38`year`old Kerry Abel denids the

manslaughter of two`year`old Riley Lewis. He was found floating

face`down in a bath at his home in Hull in January last year. Jake

Zuckerman was in Sheffield Crown Court

. The court heard Kerry Abel say she had been with Riley Lewis in the

bathroom and she passed out, and when she came to, he was passed out,

face down. Toxicology tests found the use of nine different drugs

including heroin, cocaine and cannabis. Toxicologist said it was a

night she was experiencing the effects of those drugs when her son

John. She focused on lesser known drugs temazepam and diazepal. They

are supposed to be prescription only, used as sedatives. Thd medical

expert described the effect is causing drowsiness and impahred

judgement. He said, I think the ability to properly care for any

child would be impaired. Thd case continues tomorrow.

How are you? Will you be in your onesie at midnight?

If anybody has been affected by anything in this programme, everyday

health plan. Things will take a turn for the

worse. The change is coming, courtesy of this weather system

High pressure hanging on for tomorrow. Look what happens on

Friday. Still some uncertainty, but there will be rain in places. A lot

of cloud as there, some brightness in places. Overnight, the cloud will

come and go. All part will be dry. Lowest temperatures, nine or ten

Celsius. The public's being asked to help

raise millions of pounds for a new helipad to allow patients

from Lincolnshire to get to At the moment,

people being airlifted to Nottingham's Queens Medical Centre

have to land in nearby fields and So medical staff think a helipad

on site will help save lives. Karen is from Boston and knows what

difference getting airlifted to hospital can make. She was seriously

injured when she crashed into a ditch in Horncastle. The air

ambulance flew her to the ndarest specialist hospital, 60 milds away

in Nottingham. A gentleman said it would t`ke 0

minutes to get here. If we were driving, it would have taken two and

a half hours. It shows you the difference it makes. Around 250

patients a year need to be `irlifted to the Queens medical Centrd in

Nottingham. Plans to redevelop the hospital include helipad on the roof

of the new multistorey car park yards from the hospital entrance.

It will dramatically reduce transfer time. The helicopters that come into

the land on two sites, eithdr the University site or the airfheld

Both take at least 20 minutds from landing to get here. Similar plans a

reality, ?3.5 million will have to be found through fundraising.

Something Karen thinks will be worth every penny.

An ?18 million waste water outfall pipe has finally arrived on

have spent the day guiding the three`quarter`mile`long pipd into

place on Bridlington's south beach. It's part of a ten`year project to

improve water cleanliness This is plumbing on an industrial

scale. This enormous pipe is the final phase of a project to improve

the bathing water here in Bridlington. It has drawn qtite a

crowd. It fascinates me. I live here. It is good to see what

is arriving. You excited?

It will be nice to see it completed, yes.

It is been two years in the making. Looking forward to the work ending

up getting our seafront back. The piped was captured by John

Brompton from his aeroplane. Conditions had to be perfect for it

to be towed in one complete peace from the River Teise to its new

home. Today is a pinnacle of everything we have been working

towards for the last ten ye`rs, in terms of securing investment and

getting the government to b`ck it. The beaches are important to

Bridlington. First, this hugely complex job of

floats this type in on the tide before sinking it into placd.

This job is a very big pipe. We re getting there. This pipelind is just

part of ?40 million at is bden invested here. Water to wash out

untreated is now diverted through a massive network of undergrotnd

pipes. It will take a few ydars to show up in blue flag statusds, but

it will make this beach cle`ner from next week.

Doctors surgeries across Lincolnshire say thex are
