independent child sexual abuse inquiry. Join me now on BBC Two, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
11.00pm in Scotland. Here, on BBC One, it's time | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for the news where you are. Scotland's spending watchdog says | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
the NHS is struggling financially and is failing to achieve key | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
waiting time targets. The auditor general says | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
that despite rising spending on the health service, | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
funding isn't keeping pace with increased demand from | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
an ageing population. This is the annual health check | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
for the health service. And the prognosis is | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
certainly not positive. The Auditor-General says health | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
boards are struggling NHS funding, she says, | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
is not keeping pace with increasing demand and the needs | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
of an ageing population. There is an "extremely | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
challenging" financial position for health boards, | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
and the report warns many are at risk of being unable | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
to balance their books. There is a growing | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
population in Scotland and a population which | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
is We know that older people | :01:05. | :01:05. | |
tend to need more health care, particularly in the last | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
years of their lives. We're also seeing increasing cost | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
pressures from the cost of the NHS workforce | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
and we have noticed particularly busy of prescribed drugs, | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
new drugs being available, more drugs being | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
prescribed and the cost is really The report acknowledges | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
that despite the cuts, health boards are being asked | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
to make sure more money In the past year spending rose | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
by 2.7% above inflation. But as Caroline Gardner said, | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
the cost of drugs alone went Total spending on the NHS | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
is ?12.2 billion. That's a jaw-dropping 40% | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
of the entire Scottish Yet the report says the NHS has | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
missed seven of eight of its key In three areas, performance has been | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
deteriorating in recent years. They're the target to begin | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
treatment within 18 weeks of a GP referral, the 12-week target | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
for treatment to be completed and a target to access | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
child or adolescent Each of these missed targets means | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
a patient waiting longer for James Neesom, a retired miner, | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
has already waited 12 weeks for treatment from blocked artery | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
in his leg which is affecting his He should have had | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
an appointment by now. appointments office in the Royal, | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
and they informed me it would be at least 30 weeks before I could maybe | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
hear something as there was a 30 week waiting list, appointment time | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
for appointments, due to a shortage His case was highlighted | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
by Labour in bitter exchanges at First Minister's | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
question that every word but callers to radio Scotland's phoning | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
and people outside a major Glasgow hospital were largely supportive | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
of the NHS and its staff. Personally, I can't fault it, | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
I'd had the best of treatment in the NHS and my waiting | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
time has been before the 12 weeks. We know it is struggling | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
financially but it's the best treatment I | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
would I think the whole thing is badly | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
structured and it has been going on to so many years, | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
it is getting worse and worse. Audit Scotland says one way | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
of improving the health of the NHS would be to speed up proposals, | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
first mooted in 2005 to treat more patients in the community rather | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
than in costly hospitals. But it says there's a problem | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
here of an ageing workforce. Half of community nurses are over | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
50, so are a third of GPs, while a slightly larger proportion | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
of nurses and midwives Replacing them when they retire | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
is another challenge the NHS must being paid under ?4 an hour - | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
that's almost half the minimum wage. Tonight the Scottish Government says | :03:57. | :04:09. | |
it is unacceptable They have asked Serco | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Northlink to ensure the crews are paid the national | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
minimum wage and their Arriving in Lerwick | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
harbour, the cargo boat On board, fresh supplies of food | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
for the supermarkets and other But some of the crew | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
working on the vessel are being paid well | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
below the minimum wage. They are getting paid ?3.66 per | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
hour. This is a Scottish Government | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
contract for the ferry service and it is totally | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
unacceptable that these workers from Estonia are being paid way below | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
the UK national minimum wage. The union has launched an online | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
petition highlighting their plight and | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
calling on the Scottish Government to stop the practice | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
with publicly funded contracts. Serco Northlink was awarded | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
the ?243 million Scottish Government contract | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
for six years in 2012. It operates three ferries | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
and two cargo boats on the lifeline | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
routes to the Northern Isles. But the running of | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
the two cargo boats is outsourced to another company | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
which is based in Heysham. But the companies say under | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
current legislation, the national minimum wage is not | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
applicable to the crews They say the crew | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
are deemed not to be They add that if | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
the national minimum wage applied, it would place | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
the company at a serious If they are not receiving | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
the minimum wage, that cannot be right, they | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
are members of staff, Scotland and they should be | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
receiving the wages due to them. Transport Scotland will be in touch | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
with always subcontract the company and they will offer to pay | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
the minimum wage and backdate that I would urge the subcontractor | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
to take that up and I will write the UK shipping | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
Minister to say that because he has controls over the minimum wage | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
and the UK Government, they should impose that minimum wage on non-UK | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
nationals regardless of whether they are working in international waters | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
or not if they are working on a As the ship set sail | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
for it overnight trip to Aberdeen, the RMT has pledged | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
to continue its fight for the crew. John Johnston, Reporting | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Scotland, Shetland. The sister of a woman from Glasgow | :06:45. | :06:48. | |

was last seen leaving her house in Her family say they | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
are worried sick. This morning, we have | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
the sister Janet McQueen. It is daunting speaking front | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
of the cameras but The family are really worried now | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
about my sister, Janet. She loves her dog and it | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
is really concerning Alongside, with her mobile | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
phone and her purse. We are worried sick, | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
not knowing where she is at this time, | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
as you can understand. Mrs McQueen lives in | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
the Govanhill area of Glasgow and she was last seen there | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
at about nine o'clock at night. She was seen by | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
neighbour, walking down Janet we know enjoys | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
daytime activities and was not known to go out of the house | :07:44. | :07:55. | |
at that time of night. Janet McQueen's family say she likes | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
routine and most days she would pop into this pub where staff | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
and customers are worried about her. She would normally come | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
in between nine and ten and it was always a caramel | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
latte and a bacon roll, toasted. She had a good group of friends | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
that she came in and sat There was a possible | :08:17. | :08:29. | |
sighting of Janet extensive search produced | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
no trace of her. In the afternoon of the day she went | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
missing, she was found several miles from home | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
in a confused state but was able to tell police where she lived | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
and was taken Police say they found nothing | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
which would indicate there is any criminal | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
element to Janet's disappearance but they | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
are really keen to hear from anyone | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
who thinks they may have seen her or from friends who can tell they're | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
more about her daily routines and If Janet is watching this, | :08:57. | :08:59. | |

Scotland, Glasgow. The mother of a 14-year-old girl | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
who died in a crash in Moray has said she still cannot | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
believe she's gone. Neringa Narasoot from Bucky | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
was killed in the accident near A 14-year-old girl has been flown | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
to Glasgow with life-threatening injuries and two girls aged 16 | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
and 17 have serious injuries. Police Scotland is likely to | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
overspend its budget for the current The Scottish Police Authority | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
which oversees the force says the main reason is staff | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
costs but it says that with strict workforce planning in place, | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
these costs are being managed down. The Scottish Government has pledged | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
to maintain police officer numbers | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
at more than 17,200 and has a strict policy of no compulsory | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
redundancies for civilian staff. Portobello High School in Edinburgh | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
opened its doors to pupils The school is the city's biggest | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
with space for 1,400 children. The development was initially | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
surrounded by controversy following local opposition | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
to redevelopment of parkland. private bill through | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
the Scottish Parliament to change I think the initial controversy has | :10:21. | :10:36. | |
subsided. We have had a great deal of Hosoda feedback and the fact we | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
have a lot of green space around us. We are feeling positive about the | :10:46. | :10:46. | |
future. A young Rangers fan who was injured | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
by a bottle before the Old Firm League Cup semifinal last | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
weekend made a special appearance as a mascot | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
at Ibrox last night. 11-year-old Craig McKay | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
led the team out before the game between Rangers | :10:58. | :10:59. | |

Fairly cloudy today and went for some and tonight the rain is on the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
move again. You can see from the weather front, it is moving its | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
weight southwards. A spell of wet weather has some cross central and | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
southern Scotland over the next couple of hours but by tomorrow | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
morning, it is sitting across the North of England but this warm front | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
will be coming back our way. Tomorrow morning, it is a largely | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
dry start with temperatures around eight to 11 Celsius and much lighter | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
winds compared with today. Further north, after the wind is a beating | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
over night, they strengthen again so a blustery morning through parts of | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
the North. Blustery showers here but the showers and wind will ease | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
through the course of the day. Elsewhere tomorrow, it is largely | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
dry with some ease and bright or sunny spells. If no improvement | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
across the south-west but it should appear later too temperatures down | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
on today but given some sunshine, it shouldn't be too bad. Across the UK | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
as a whole, high pressure is in charge but we have this weather | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
front step in the middle, producing cloud for areas south of the border. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Temperatures are admitted to high teens but fairly murky at times. | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
There's that returning warm front edging its way in across the | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
south-west, bringing bigger cloud and patchy rain, Friday night. To | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
the weekend and high pressure is still at nearby, keeping this low | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
and this weather front at bay for most of the day will start becoming | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
a little bit as we head into words Sunday. Saturday, is going to be | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
generally dry but fairly cloudy. Some extensive hill fog in places. | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
Temperatures up to 16 degrees. Damp at times around the western isles. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
