:01:04. > :01:11.the highest town in Sussex, which is also where Sir Arthur Conan
:01:11. > :01:14.Doyle chose to live. But we start over in East Kent. It was the place
:01:14. > :01:19.where they discovered Viagra - but that wasn't enough to save the
:01:19. > :01:28.Pfizer site in Sandwich. The drugs company are axing around fifteen
:01:28. > :01:32.hundred jobs. So what on earth does Kent do now? Vince Rogers finds out.
:01:32. > :01:37.The science of pharmacology is a wonderful thing. The boffins can
:01:37. > :01:41.create chemicals which kid diseases and saved lives. But there is one
:01:41. > :01:51.problem they cannot cure. The patient with the illness is the
:01:51. > :01:57.county of Kent. A body blow for East Kent, Pfizer closes its
:01:57. > :02:02.research centre. Pfizer of pulling out. This means the loss of 1,500
:02:02. > :02:07.jobs with the damaging effect on the economy of Kent. Who has got
:02:07. > :02:11.the job of dealing with the problem? That would be it Paul
:02:11. > :02:18.Carter. He is the chairman of the sand which economic development
:02:18. > :02:22.task force and the leader of Kent County Council. Tim Leunig is from
:02:22. > :02:27.the economic History Department of the London School of Economics. I
:02:27. > :02:32.am going to get the council leader to explain what he will do to
:02:32. > :02:37.secure the future prosperity of Kent and if Tim thinks it's a good
:02:37. > :02:43.idea. Has the area got a choice to make?
:02:43. > :02:48.East Kent has big choices. It is beautiful. But jobs are ugly and
:02:48. > :02:53.East Kent has a choice to remain beautiful and bucolic but people
:02:53. > :02:57.will leave the area or is it willing to sacrifice the
:02:57. > :03:03.countryside to provide lots of industrial premises for jobs for
:03:03. > :03:08.local people? Let's get down to specifics. We want to know Paul
:03:08. > :03:16.Carter's priorities for saving Kent. Obviously the first is to sort have
:03:16. > :03:22.a problem in Sandwich. Number one, back Phil Pfizer. That means Pfizer
:03:22. > :03:26.selling the site, rebranding it as Discovery Park and getting smaller
:03:26. > :03:35.pharmaceutical companies to move in, employing the same number of people
:03:35. > :03:40.as if nothing had happened. These are not just office spaces, it is
:03:40. > :03:48.high-tech laboratories and research and development facilities. Pfizer
:03:48. > :03:52.announced last week 650 of their jobs will stay on the site. It is
:03:52. > :03:56.good news they are not shutting down altogether. But when you look
:03:56. > :04:04.at the number of additional jobs that are not from Pfizer, it is the
:04:04. > :04:10.relatively few. One of those is a company called Unilabs. They are
:04:10. > :04:14.fantastic laps. The staff are experienced and hard to come by.
:04:14. > :04:19.Some ex employees are setting up the run businesses on the site.
:04:19. > :04:24.parted company with Pfizer in August and the company launched in
:04:24. > :04:30.mid- August. There are 5,000 jobs to be created to get back to square
:04:30. > :04:38.one. Is this possible? Paul Carter says it has happened before in
:04:38. > :04:44.Runcorn, Cheshire. ICI it needs to make �30 million worth of savings,
:04:44. > :04:49.350 jobs are expected to go. closed their factory in the north-
:04:49. > :04:55.west in 1999. Made hundreds redundant and put it up for sale, a
:04:55. > :05:00.similar situation to Pfizer. More people employed on the site are
:05:00. > :05:05.contributing to GDP than there were in the heyday of ICI.
:05:05. > :05:10.difference with Runcorn is it was the manufacture and plant and those
:05:10. > :05:20.jobs a reason to replace because they are low skilled. Have you been
:05:20. > :05:20.
:05:20. > :05:24.to run corn? Actually, the ground would preview run -- wrong. The
:05:25. > :05:29.research and development is going on on the site. The previous site
:05:29. > :05:33.had a big trunk of manufacturer. But when you look at the back of
:05:33. > :05:42.the support to ICI in this country and the research and development
:05:42. > :05:45.that went on at one corner, you can compare the numbers. The government
:05:45. > :05:50.has made Discovery Park an enterprise zone which means
:05:50. > :06:00.business rate discounts, simplified planning rules and support for
:06:00. > :06:01.
:06:01. > :06:06.improving Broadbent. What about the enterprise zone? It is worth having
:06:06. > :06:11.but you do not want to go overboard, there was one in Medway and Medway
:06:11. > :06:15.is not the world's most prosperous place. The danger is it can attract
:06:15. > :06:22.people from elsewhere in the region, across the border but it could be
:06:22. > :06:28.bad news for Thanet. We do not want job displacement, that's what he is
:06:28. > :06:31.referring to. We do have some control over making sure the rate
:06:31. > :06:36.relief goes to new businesses or new investors and does not displace
:06:37. > :06:43.jobs and elsewhere. Tim says the important thing is to keep the
:06:43. > :06:47.critical mass of pharmaceutical jobs on the site where Pfizer leave.
:06:47. > :06:51.It is a tough call and when the workers leave, the intellectual
:06:51. > :06:58.capital has disappeared. Frankly, it would be close to gain over for
:06:58. > :07:04.those jobs. It did not happen in Runcorn. No, but many places it has
:07:04. > :07:10.happened. Additionally, Kent Cancer Council have applied to the
:07:10. > :07:16.regional growth fund, a government pot of money. We learnt four East
:07:16. > :07:20.Kent districts have been awarded �43 million, most of which will go
:07:20. > :07:26.on grants and loans for local businesses with low interest rates.
:07:26. > :07:31.I am delighted. 43 million is 43 million to spend in helping
:07:31. > :07:36.supporting existing businesses to grow and new businesses to invest
:07:36. > :07:42.in those districts including Discovery Park at the former Pfizer
:07:42. > :07:46.site. So, to summarise, it is important to keep a critical mass
:07:46. > :07:52.of jobs at Discovery Park, it is now on enterprise zone of a tin
:07:52. > :07:58.says it can damage local business. The government has given �43
:07:58. > :08:02.million to encourage entrepreneurs. This is not just about Pfizer. The
:08:02. > :08:08.question is what we need to inject into the county to keep the whole
:08:08. > :08:15.economy going? And so, the next priority for Kent. No. 2, in
:08:15. > :08:22.structure. Paul says East Kent would benefit from the development
:08:22. > :08:30.of Manston airport and interconnecting high-speed trains.
:08:30. > :08:36.The largest runway in mainland Europe, it would increase
:08:36. > :08:43.productivity. It could deliver Manston airport with the
:08:43. > :08:46.equivalents of Stansted. About �6 million of the 43 million regional
:08:46. > :08:50.growth fund is to be spent on upgrading the lines so high-speed
:08:50. > :08:55.trains can run through Canterbury to east Kent. The ambition is to
:08:55. > :09:02.make Sandwich as accessible from London as Cambridge. Some rare
:09:02. > :09:09.experts have their doubts. They were never achieve that because
:09:09. > :09:14.someone like Sandwich is stuck at the end of a long winding a line
:09:14. > :09:18.and it will take longer than an hour for trains to get there.
:09:18. > :09:23.ambition is to turn Manston into something like Stansted and get
:09:23. > :09:30.train times from East Kent to London down to an hour but experts
:09:30. > :09:37.doubt it is possible. The next priority for the future is the kids.
:09:37. > :09:43.Number three, education. No one would deny that education is vital
:09:43. > :09:48.for long-term economic prosperity. But, Kent has two problems. There
:09:48. > :09:52.are many people doing well in schools who go to university and
:09:52. > :09:59.leave and moved to more affluent parts. I did that. I grew up in
:09:59. > :10:04.Chatham, I left Oxford and never came back. What is worse, according
:10:04. > :10:08.to research, kids from poor families get a bad deal in Kent.
:10:08. > :10:13.you are poor in Britain, you do less well in schools in Kent than
:10:13. > :10:17.anywhere in London or any when neighbouring London and that is a
:10:17. > :10:23.challenge. You are comparing a standard comprehensive in the North
:10:23. > :10:28.of England with a high-school were 25% of the cohort is moving into a
:10:28. > :10:33.grammar school education. No, I am not. I am looking at children in
:10:33. > :10:37.the bottom quarter by income and how they would do at 16
:10:37. > :10:43.irrespective of what school they go to and tense does worse than any
:10:43. > :10:47.borough in London. Well, I challenged the statistics. I would
:10:47. > :10:52.send an teeth. They were published in the Financial Times. I have
:10:52. > :10:58.checked the myself. Chris Cook from the Financial Times is the person
:10:58. > :11:01.who did the research. What we found is in Kent there is a higher than
:11:01. > :11:05.average propensity for poor children to fall by the wayside. We
:11:05. > :11:10.found that was because of the grammar school system so the
:11:10. > :11:18.grammar schools are fantastically effective but if you do not get in,
:11:18. > :11:24.you will do badly. You have to consider all the factors. Grammar-
:11:24. > :11:27.school education helps socially deprived students to attain
:11:27. > :11:33.university placements and more academic success than any other
:11:33. > :11:38.system. So, Kent is not serving children from poor families to the
:11:38. > :11:48.detriment of the economy. But Paul Carter and some head teachers
:11:48. > :11:53.
:11:53. > :11:57.No. Four, green technology. Paul Carter says Kent has untapped
:11:57. > :12:01.potential for many new jobs. There are some things like the emphasis
:12:01. > :12:04.on green technology that every council leader across Britain is
:12:04. > :12:08.claiming their area has a special advantage. We have to be careful
:12:08. > :12:11.some of these jobs do not turn out to be like the Silicon Glen in
:12:12. > :12:17.Scotland or the manufacturing of televisions in South Wales which
:12:17. > :12:23.seemed wonderful in the 1980s but disappeared after five years.
:12:23. > :12:27.disagree on the basis we have the longest coastal regions of every
:12:27. > :12:35.county -- any county in a country and proximity to where the energy
:12:35. > :12:38.is consumed. He points out the best us -- a Vestas may start assembling
:12:38. > :12:43.at wind turbines in Sheerness if the government says that a clear
:12:43. > :12:51.long-term policy on wind farms and this would create 2000 jobs on the
:12:51. > :12:56.Isle of Sheppey. One economist says studies have been made about
:12:56. > :13:02.turbines in the county. If you look at the figures, the only way you
:13:02. > :13:08.could justify the prediction is if there was a serious expansion in
:13:08. > :13:12.production of turbines. Paul macro reckons Kent has great potential in
:13:12. > :13:21.renewable energy but economists say it depends on the Government's
:13:21. > :13:26.So, that's the plan - get people working again at the Old Pfizer
:13:26. > :13:30.site, invest in structure -- infrastructure, ensure high
:13:30. > :13:34.standards of education and take advantage of emerging green
:13:34. > :13:44.technology. Many people will be hoping that that works, because the
:13:44. > :13:49.
:13:49. > :13:53.Vince Rogers reporting. A surge in patient numbers and widespread
:13:53. > :13:57.confusion in Kent and East Sussex. Here at Inside Out core we have
:13:57. > :14:07.been investigating how the new �235 million hospital in Pembury has
:14:07. > :14:15.
:14:15. > :14:20.This shiny new hospital opened its doors in September. It serves
:14:20. > :14:26.500,000 people in Kent and Sussex, everywhere from Crowborough to
:14:26. > :14:31.Aylesford. But behind the gloss, we discovered not everyone was happy.
:14:31. > :14:35.In spite of a brand new hospital in Pembury, would Maidstone lose out?
:14:36. > :14:39.We have lost our local service. The complications of all that are going
:14:39. > :14:45.to be very serious. With the new hospital came major changes to how
:14:45. > :14:49.and where patients are treated. When Pembury opened, Maidstone lost
:14:49. > :14:53.its full maternity service and the ability to deal with major trauma.

:15:08. > :15:13.department. And while an increase in private patients her push NHS
:15:13. > :15:18.people to the back of the Ku? We can reveal the hospital's plans to
:15:18. > :15:22.step up the number of private beds. Our investigation began with e-
:15:22. > :15:26.mails and complaints. Since the service changed, we have heard
:15:26. > :15:31.staff and patients were worried. Among concerns were long waiting
:15:31. > :15:39.times in A&E, poor patient treatment and safety. We decided to
:15:39. > :15:42.look at the changes and take your concerns to hospital bosses.
:15:42. > :15:47.weaving the environment is overwhelmingly positive. Why are
:15:47. > :15:53.going to take a look at what is going on. First up, A&E. The number
:15:53. > :15:57.of patients going to Pembury's A&E has increased beyond expectations.
:15:57. > :16:00.Since it opened, it has been claimed a n d staff are under
:16:01. > :16:08.pressure. The hospital has overwhelmed and is concerned about
:16:08. > :16:12.the impact this is having on patients. Isabel is At Hand has
:16:12. > :16:17.Alzheimer's. Sandra Springett from Age UK took her to hospital with a
:16:17. > :16:22.broken hip and says she had to wait five hours to be seen by a doctor,
:16:22. > :16:32.and tend to go to bed. Isobel does not have any next of kin and I am
:16:32. > :16:38.horrified by the care she received. You just wouldn't leave somebody
:16:38. > :16:42.fought five hours without -- with a broken hip. That hurts. By 12pm
:16:42. > :16:46.collar they had decided they would not be able to operate that day so,
:16:46. > :16:50.at that point, she could have a cup of tea and something to eat. Very
:16:50. > :16:54.important for all the people to keep hydrated - I think they might
:16:54. > :16:58.know that in our hospital. Hospital bosses say they have been teething
:16:58. > :17:02.problems and Pembury was not expecting such a high amount of
:17:02. > :17:06.patience. Nicki Luffingham is the chief operating officer,
:17:06. > :17:10.responsible for running Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells. We have had
:17:10. > :17:15.some challenges. We were not expecting, despite our best plans,
:17:15. > :17:21.the rise in attendances that we got on day one and two. We got about
:17:21. > :17:24.25% more patients than expected. Everyone understands you are a new
:17:24. > :17:29.hospital but we have heard of and 80-year-old woman waiting five
:17:29. > :17:32.hours in A&E with a broken hip. Surely this is unacceptable.
:17:32. > :17:36.would accept that this is not the standard of care that we would like
:17:36. > :17:41.to portray. It is not what we want to do and, without going into
:17:41. > :17:47.details - because obviously, I can't - we will apologise for any
:17:47. > :17:51.patients who have had delays. while A&E in Pembury has been busy,
:17:51. > :17:56.in Maidstone it has been much quieter since the service changed.
:17:56. > :18:02.Since the new hospital opened, Maidstone's A&E department is in
:18:02. > :18:06.around 130 cure patients each week compared to last year. -- fewer. It
:18:06. > :18:10.has left doctors like Paul Hobday worried that falling numbers of
:18:10. > :18:15.admissions could mean it is downgraded to a minor injuries unit.
:18:15. > :18:20.A I have spoken to a few colleagues and they are very concerned about
:18:20. > :18:25.the running down of Maidstone Hospital. We feel the next thing
:18:25. > :18:29.that they will change at Maidstone is, despite their denials, closing
:18:29. > :18:34.A&E. Their words are all very well but look at their actions. They
:18:34. > :18:38.have got rid of maternity at Maidstone, most of paediatrics,
:18:39. > :18:42.trauma and orthopaedics has gone, and a lot of other facilities. It
:18:42. > :18:45.makes it inevitable that more services will be squeezed out of
:18:45. > :18:50.Maidstone - not least because they need the money at the Tunbridge
:18:50. > :18:57.Wells and to run a big hospital. But despite the drop in numbers,
:18:57. > :19:02.hospital bosses say Maidstone's A&E is safe. At the moment, A&Es on
:19:02. > :19:08.both sides are fully functioning. We have only seen a 5% drop in
:19:08. > :19:12.attendance rates at the Maidstone A&E, which was predicted. We have
:19:12. > :19:16.not dropped further from there and we are committed to providing two
:19:16. > :19:21.A&E services. So you can give a guarantee that the Maidstone unit,
:19:21. > :19:25.through less use, it won't be downgraded? Be it is only a 5% loss
:19:25. > :19:29.at the moment. There is no way we can downgrade it with a 5%
:19:29. > :19:33.reduction in attendances. hospital says the decision to
:19:33. > :19:37.remove -- remove trauma from Maidstone was taken in the
:19:37. > :19:40.interests of patients. An independent health expert says
:19:40. > :19:45.having doctors in one place means they see enough patience to build
:19:45. > :19:50.expertise. The move in the NHS is to have more specialist sectors.
:19:50. > :19:53.Specialists for trauma called Orthopaedic, for cardiac services,
:19:53. > :19:58.because we are better at doing stuff if the experts are doing it.
:19:58. > :20:02.It is the same with maternity. What we are likely to see is the
:20:02. > :20:06.evolution of more specialist services. The problem or benefit,
:20:06. > :20:11.depending on how you see it, is that you can't have a specialist
:20:11. > :20:16.service on everyone's street corner. The old idea of the district
:20:16. > :20:22.general hospital - and it was a general hospital - is defunct now.
:20:22. > :20:26.Now a look at maternity. When it lost its consultant-led maternity

:20:50. > :20:53.to travel to the new hospital. is worrying because they's it just
:20:53. > :20:58.so many things that can go wrong. It can happen so quickly and you
:20:58. > :21:06.can be in danger really really quickly. I personally feel that
:21:06. > :21:10.it's awful that the services aren't at Maidstone any more. One of the
:21:10. > :21:14.protesters who tried to save the poor maternity service at Maidstone
:21:14. > :21:18.was Dennis Fowle. He is worried the hospital could eventually be left
:21:18. > :21:23.without any maternity care. doubt is that the unit in Maidstone
:21:23. > :21:28.will have a long life. I have always seen it as a sop for our
:21:28. > :21:33.area. They knew that Labour going to take a service away from us and
:21:33. > :21:38.that would be very unpopular. We want our consultant-led service
:21:38. > :21:42.back in Maidstone. That is where it really belongs. We were desperately
:21:42. > :21:46.sorry to lose it. Joy Kemp is a maternity expert and was
:21:46. > :21:49.responsible for helping to plan Maidstone's new birthing centre.
:21:49. > :21:52.She believes passionately that splitting the service was the right
:21:52. > :21:57.thing. The government wants every woman to be able to have a choice
:21:57. > :22:01.between giving birth in a hospital, a midwife-led unit or Birth Centre,
:22:01. > :22:06.and giving birth at home. We are one of the very few places in the
:22:06. > :22:10.country that actually offers all of those three choices. But because of
:22:10. > :22:15.the changes are Maidstone, fewer women can give birth there. Over at
:22:15. > :22:19.Pembury, they are busy. Last month, more than 350 babies were born here
:22:19. > :22:24.and the mothers we spoke to were delighted with the standard of care.
:22:24. > :22:29.What do you think of the maternity service? Are very good. It has been
:22:29. > :22:33.really nice since I've been in here. The service has been amazing. The
:22:33. > :22:38.nurses have made me feel completely at home. The facilities and
:22:38. > :22:43.everything... Next, the hospitals' plans to attract more patients who

:23:02. > :23:06.initiatives, or PFIs, are controversial. But Pembury could
:23:06. > :23:10.not have been built without one. Some say these schemes end up
:23:10. > :23:14.costing us millions more than they should. The trust is currently
:23:15. > :23:20.paying back around �20 million a year and experts say in the end,
:23:20. > :23:26.the scheme could cost �600 million. That is money that needs to be paid
:23:26. > :23:29.back. So is the answer to attract more private patients? Inside Out
:23:29. > :23:33.discovered the trust plans to increase the number of private
:23:33. > :23:38.patients it sees. I gained access to this document which talks about
:23:38. > :23:43.a proposed PPU at Maidstone Hospital. That is a private
:23:43. > :23:47.patients' unit. It talks about plans to ring-fence beds, operating
:23:47. > :23:51.theatres and diagnostic sessions for private patients. However, when
:23:51. > :23:55.I asked the trust about it, they said there were no plans for any
:23:55. > :23:58.more private beds at Maidstone. Not content with the answer I got on
:23:58. > :24:01.the phone, I decided to ask Nicki Luffingham about the plans in
:24:01. > :24:05.person. With less people using Maidstone
:24:05. > :24:10.Hospital, are there plans to use the beds for private patients
:24:10. > :24:14.instead? Less people using Maidstone Hospital - our full
:24:14. > :24:20.Electa services are there, so people having day surgery and in-
:24:20. > :24:25.patient surgery and all that outpatients are fully running. --
:24:25. > :24:28.elective services. We can possibly close some beds but that is about
:24:28. > :24:32.efficiencies and the system and improving our length of stay, of
:24:32. > :24:38.which is going to be much better for patients. We have opened a
:24:38. > :24:41.private unit on the Tunbridge Wells site. We knew, a good year ago,
:24:41. > :24:46.that we had some capacity in our system, following those
:24:46. > :24:50.efficiencies. We also knew we had a financial gap, following be PFI
:24:50. > :24:56.initiative, and we needed to do everything we can to bridge that
:24:56. > :25:00.gap before asking for help. But are there plans to introduce a private
:25:00. > :25:06.patients' unit at Maidstone? It is very early days for this private
:25:06. > :25:10.patients' unit. It has only been open for two weeks at the site. Our
:25:10. > :25:14.ultimate strategy is to have private patients' units across our
:25:14. > :25:17.organisation. We do not know where it will be or how big it will be
:25:17. > :25:22.but we do wish to provide private patients' services in both
:25:22. > :25:28.hospitals. How do you think services -- patients in Maidstone
:25:28. > :25:33.will feel that they have lost services? That has a very negative
:25:33. > :25:37.story. We believe it to be a very positive story. We may not be
:25:37. > :25:41.looking at a ward. We have not decided where we will be put in it
:25:41. > :25:46.yet. We have quite a lot of spare capacity at Maidstone when we have
:25:46. > :25:51.finished reconsider it - but reconfiguring hour services. This
:25:51. > :25:56.is capacity we are not using for NHS patients. We are not depleting
:25:56. > :25:59.it in any way. We believe we are adding. But some doctors are
:25:59. > :26:03.concerned that are raising money through private patients is
:26:03. > :26:07.becoming more of a priority. Private Patients in the NHS
:26:07. > :26:12.hospitals have always had a little impact but it is the scale of it.
:26:12. > :26:16.We have all known, as doctors, that it intrudes. When it intrudes to a
:26:16. > :26:22.small degree because the numbers are small, people have tolerated
:26:22. > :26:26.that since 1948. The scale now is going to be in a different league.
:26:26. > :26:30.It will have the same impact as in Tunbridge Wells on NHS patients,
:26:30. > :26:36.which is that they will inevitably be squeezed from more operating
:26:36. > :26:38.slots, diagnostic slots, and that means waiting lists will increase.
:26:38. > :26:41.A Health & Social Care Bill is going through Parliament. It could
:26:41. > :26:46.end the limit on the amount Hospital raised from private
:26:46. > :26:52.patients, meaning more could be treated at NHS hospitals across the
:26:52. > :26:56.country. Roy Lilley says that far from being a bad thing, the trust's
:26:56. > :27:02.plans to increase the number of private patients is good. There is
:27:02. > :27:08.no silver bullet. This is part of the book shot. It is income.
:27:08. > :27:11.Providing it goes to any to services, why should we worry?
:27:11. > :27:15.hospital's running costs are high due to the money it owes under the
:27:15. > :27:19.PFI. The trust says private patients would help pay back the
:27:19. > :27:23.money it owes, meaning they don't have to take away cash from
:27:23. > :27:28.frontline care. It is all about us ploughing that money back into a
:27:28. > :27:35.major services. The money we made privately goes back to alter Milly
:27:35. > :27:40.improving patient care. We want to do it at both sides. As the paint
:27:40. > :27:44.is barely dry and staff settle in, it is clear they are trying hard to
:27:44. > :27:47.get used to live at the new hospital. It has brought changes,
:27:47. > :27:57.challenges and some difficult decisions which may yet have to be
