Doctors in Lincolnshire have launched a new project to try | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
A recent NHS review revealed that the county has some | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Lincolnshire West CCG has the worst cancer detection rates | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
in the country - with just 33% of patients being diagnosed early. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
That's compared to the national average of 50%. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
After diagnosis, the current ambition is that 70% of patients | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
should survive the first year, but only South Lincolnshire | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Now GPs at 12 practices will trial a new computer programme | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
to see whether it helps identify those most at risk. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Here's our health correspondent, Vicky Johnson. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Almost 1000 people a day are diagnosed with cancer in the UK. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Survival rates are improving, but patients have a much better | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
chance if the disease is diagnosed early. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Peter Crosby's recently had surgery to treat his lung cancer, | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
but initially he was given antibiotics for a persistent cough. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Took one more course, and then we decided to go | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
to hospital to see if there was anything on the chest. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
That's when the shadow was discovered. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
And it went from being an x-ray to being a CAT scan, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
If Peter turned up at his doctors now, it's likely his cancer | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
diagnosis would be more prompt, thanks to Lincolnshire's | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
It would be picked up a little bit more quickly. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
But Find Out Faster would h`ve meant he would have had the scan | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
At the moment, he's fine, which is great, but it could make | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
For the next six months, doctors at 12 practices | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
across Lincolnshire will be piloting the QCancer programme, | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
and this should help them predict the risk | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
We all know that even experienced doctors sometimes fail to m`ke | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
a diagnosis promptly when the symptoms aren't typical. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
And this tool is just something which makes them think seriously | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
There'll also be much more rapid access to tests, | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
The majority of patients th`t come through the pathway | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
But for them, it's the reassurance that they don't have | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
cancer and they can get on with their lives. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
If diagnosis rates do improve, the programme will be rolled out | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
A former Ukip MEP from East Yorkshire insists | :02:40. | :02:52. | |
the party still has a future despite its recent difficulties | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
It follows comments made by Steven Woolfe - | :02:56. | :02:56. | |
who quit the party after an altercation with Hull-based MEP | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Mike Hookem - claiming that Ukip is in a death spiral. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
But Godfrey Bloom, who was the party's first MDP | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
in Yorkshire and the Humber, insists Ukip still | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
There's still plenty to do, because there are a view | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
of people saying, well, we've had the referendum. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
But as has just been said, we could still be two years | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
So, Ukip, until we are out, Ukip has a very real job to do. | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
And if you missed today's Sunday Politics programme, it's av`ilable | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
A special service was held at Lincoln cathedral last | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
The Very Reverend Christine Wilson is the first woman to take up | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
I think that I've always been in roles where I've had | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
a pioneering role, stepping into roles that have perhaps | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
It feels rather normal, these days, for women to be in senior roles, | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
and I've many friends and colleagues who are women | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
who are deans and bishops in the Church of England. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Tonight is your final chance to nominate someone | :04:04. | :04:05. | |

You have until midnight to get your nomination in. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Jennifer Bartram has the weather forecast. | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
There's been a lot of dry and fine weather this afternoon, | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
We start the day off on a fairly chilly note, | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
perhaps one or two showers just lingering through the morning. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Gradually, into the afternoon, the cloud will break and we will see | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
That easterly breeze gradually dying down, | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
temperatures tomorrow at a high of 12 Celsius. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
As we head further into next week, Tuesday looks largely dry and sunny, | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Look North is back from 6:25am tomorrow morning. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
So far this month most of the rain has been near Eastern coasts. That's | :04:54. | :05:16. | |
changing quite dramatically. All of this cloud coming in from the south | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
and this rain band moving across the channel into southern parts of | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
England right now. The rain is easing off in the south-east of | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
England. The main focus will be for the south-west of England where | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
there could be heavy bursts of rain in Devon and Cornwall. With the | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
shield of cloud pushing into Wales, the Midlands and the southern half | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
of the UK, but it isn't as cold night. Different story further | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
north, breaks in the cloud allowing for a touch of frost and pockets of | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
mist and fog. Northern areas will see spells of sunshine in the | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
morning. Some showers, but not as many as recently. The Midlands and | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
the south, more cloud, and shall read bursts of rain. This will clip | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
south-west parts of | :06:02. | :06:03. |
