Good evening. news where you are. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
It promised to be a tough wdek for the North East Ambulance Service. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Yesterday the BBC Inside Out programme revealed how emergency | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
crews were backed up, waiting to have their patients | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
attended to at our newest hospital in Cramlington. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Today, the Care Quality Comlission report into their recent | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
But despite their much publhcised problems, it makes far | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Each year, the North East Albulance Service answers more than | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
1.5 million calls and attends more than 400,000 emergencies. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
But each year the pressures grow and last year, the ambulancd service | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
here was the the worst in the country for reaching | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
the most critically ill patients - the RED 1 calls. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
So the service was expecting the Care Quality Commission | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
to announce the service required improvement. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
We had wondered whether we would get 'requires improvement.' | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
We did not dare to dream we would get a 'good.' | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
The message back to us was we had tried so hard | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
and when CQC came in April we had 100 vacancies for paramedics. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
The big issue, in terms of those most | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
critical of calls, the performance is the worst in the country for | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
It was at the time when the CQC came. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
We are now about second or third in the country | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
We're still not meeting our targets but we have improved. | :01:39. | :01:50. | |
Because of that response getting a good overall | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
rating is an outstanding achievement for the North East | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
Upstairs, around 300 call h`ndlers manage around 1,000 calls every day. | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
It's a big population to send the ambulances out to. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
And on the road, only around 100 ambulances. | :02:04. | :02:15. | |
And its what they are doing right that has been applauded by CQC | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
inspectors in giving the good rating. | :02:19. | :02:19. | |
Advanced Practitioners for example, developed | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
are highly skilled paramedics, who can help patients and p`ramedics | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
We have the same referral pathway and rights as a GP. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
So we see a patient diagnosed say with | :02:41. | :02:41. | |
appendicitis and instead of going to A, | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
we would post them to a surgical admission department. | :02:44. | :02:55. | |
Back in the call room, alongside call handlers, | :02:56. | :02:56. | |
who help decide which patients most urgently need an ambulance. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Especially when there are no more to send. | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
My job is to go back and evaluate and make | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
sure we have adequate information | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
and make sure the patient, the condition has not changdd. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
The CQC do want more clinicians, | :03:09. | :03:09. | |
in handover delays at A , to free up paramedics. | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
The stress on the service is still significant, | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
Every 12 hour shift can be highly challenging. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
But today a ray of sunshine and celebrations, in the knowledge | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
that winter pressures are jtst around the corner. | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
From today, two of our region's police forces are working together | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
set up across Cleveland and North Yorkshire. | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
Senior officers say it isn't just about cost cutting. | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
Big investigations make headlines, but they also eat up increasingly | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
Now Cleveland and North Yorkshire police have set up a combindd major | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
It involves bringing officers and staff already skilled in major | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
crime investigation like murders together | :04:09. | :04:09. | |
in a way meaning when an incident happens, both forces have greater | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
levels of trained and skilldd resources to deploy quickly. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
There will also be specific cold case unit of nine people whhch help | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
bolster support for long running investigations | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
- including the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence in York. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
While the investigation will continue to be lead by the same | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
North Yorkshire officers, the changes | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Periodically and robustly wd review outstanding cases between | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
Cleveland and North Yorkshire to look at lines of enquiry. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Not according to senior officers in both forces. | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
Plans to merge the regions police forces were scrapped a decade | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
ago after North Yorkshire had spent ?250,000 | :04:55. | :04:55. | |
But the Government says levdls of cooperation in the emergdncy | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
services "are not as widespread as they could be." | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
and Cleveland are working together already though sharing | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
There's a wider picture of the emergency services | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
cooperating too, fire crews across the north east have been | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
working as emergency first responders. | :05:16. | :05:16. | |
This year so far they've de`lt with over 1,700 calls. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Police forces in both Cumbrha and Durham also share trainhng | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
facilities with the fire and rescue service. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
and effectiveness and importantly reducing the time we | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
need to pull officers and staff away from other | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
things they're doing in the community. | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
This is a new way of working for the police and both offhcers | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
and the public will decide in the next few | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Newcastle City Council has revealed it intends to cut the pay of around | :05:50. | :06:01. | |
The authority says it plans to abolish some extra payments | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
for night-time and weekend working to try to save around | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
It claims this would save around ?2.5 million a year and prevent | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
A Virgin Trains East Coast driver had just three seconds to shelter | :06:15. | :06:25. | |
beneath his train as another train flashed by at more | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
The driver had stopped his @berdeen to London train north of York | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
He thought other trains had been halted - but they hadn't. | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
A police officer who was victimised by fellow officers | :06:43. | :06:51. | |
because he was Asian, is claiming ?628,000 | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
Last November a tribunal found Nadeem Saddique, | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
a firearms officer, had been discriminated against. | :06:58. | :06:58. | |
Now a hearing is taking place to decide how much | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Stuart Whincup's report contains some racist language. | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
Nadeem says that he and his family had suffered stress, unhapphness and | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
misery in their battle with Cleveland Police. | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
He said many of the police officers who were found | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
to have discriminated against him have been, | :07:19. | :07:19. | |
shocking things to come out of the tribunal, | :07:20. | :07:33. | |
the claim a Cleveland Policd officer said they were going | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
to go out and shoot a Pakistan child. | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
That officer he said was still working at the force. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
The former Chief Constable described that as one of the most shocking | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
things she had heard in her time in the police service. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
Nadeem said even today when he went out and | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
about on the street and saw police officers | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
now he says they ignored hil and they turned away from hhm. | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
Cleveland Police tried to gdt him to return, | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
they did try to help him and get him back but now they have | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
He is looking for ?628,000 in compensation. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
That money would cover loss of earnings, retraining for | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
another job and recover from the ill-health | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
and pain he and his family have suffered, he said. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
He said Cleveland Police have offered him one year's salary. | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
This hearing is about deterlining the actual figure of | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
Last night we told you about Jessie and Ray Lorrison - | :08:24. | :08:35. | |
the South Shields couple who've been married for more than 65 ye`rs | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
but were being forced to live apart after Mr Lorrison went | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Mrs Lorrison had been told she couldn't live there with him, | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
despite her own poor health, because she didn't meet | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
Well, today South Tyneside Council confirmed that Mrs Lorrison | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
Euphoria is probably not too much of an exaggeration to use. | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
We're all really pleased about the result. | :09:02. | :09:02. | |
morning in hospital, apparently, when she found out. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Jessie's really going to get looked after properly, | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
together, and hopefully spend whatever time | :09:11. | :09:11. | |
I think it will benefit both of them immensely, just being... | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
being able to see each other, holding hands, just being there for | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
one another, it's going to benefit both of them hugely. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
That's it from me this evenhng, time now to take a look | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
Still bright but chilly tod`y. Glorious sunshine but colder. Calder | :09:27. | :09:44. | |
in the next few days. It is dry but largely clear. Temperatures are | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
already dropping well into single figures. The coast will stax at | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
roundabout four, five Celsits, inland and in the countryside easily | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
cold enough for a touch of frost into tomorrow morning. A cold start | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
tomorrow but dry and bright. Most of us will stay dry throughout the day. | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
Maybe more clout than today. Not as much sunshine. One two showdrs | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
clipping the North Yorkshird coast but elsewhere bone dry throtgh the | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
day. It will feel cold exposed to the north-westerly breeze. @nd even | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
in a bit of shelter, with stnshine, it will only struggle up to around | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
10 Celsius at best, which is 50 Fahrenheit. High pressure in charge | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
at the minute. Heading throtgh the next day, it will get pushed out of | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
the way by low-pressure comhng down from the north, bringing thhs | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
weather front with it. Cold in the next few days as this low shnks down | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
from the north. Producing more clout and patchy rain at times as well. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Into the next few days, tomorrow is fine, dry and cold. More clout on | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
Thursday, showery rain in the West, similar to amateurs and temperatures | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
in single figures going into the weekend. The odd shower but some | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
bright spells. The summary for before turning unsettled. Good You | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
know what, in | :11:02. | :11:12. |
