That's all from us. Now, on BBC One, it's time | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
for the news where you are. programme. Concerns have been raised | :00:00. | :00:24. | |
over cut`price laser eye surgery deals being offered on the high | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
street. An investigation by the consumer group Which? Found | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
potential risks of the Prince Edwardure are often played down to | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
patients. And a leading London NHS expert has raised concerns that much | :00:38. | :00:39. | |

of the surgery is carried ott by doctors who aren't eye specialists. | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
doctors who aren't eye spechalists. Three years ago Sasha underwent | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
laser eye surgery. It was meant Three years ago Sasha underwent | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
laser eye surgery. It was mdant to improve her vision. Instead, she | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
claims it has left her with many other problems. I get very painful | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
eyes. They're very dry and the dryness is not like people think, | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
oh, dry eyes, just use eye drops. Dryness, literally sometimes you | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
have to peel your eyelid off your eye. A report published this week by | :01:14. | :01:18. | |

the consumer group, Which? Found that one third of consultathons are | :01:22. | :01:24. | |

street providers came bottol, with Optical Express failing to explain | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
to researchers. I'm very disappointed with the Which? Report. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
A handful of patients doesn't reflect the high quality of care | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
that we routinely provide to patients. We want to make sure that | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
every patient we treat understands the risks of surgery. Sasha wasn't | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
treated by the company, but did have her surgery at another high street | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
provider. She started annen line campaign and through that found | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
others who had experienced problems after surgery. Last week, some of | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
them staged a protest outside the Optical Express clinic in Harley | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Street. They want tougher regulations in the industry and | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
their concerns were brought up in Parliament earlier this year. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Voluntary mechanisims have failed. Secondly, all surgeons must be | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
qualified, certificate indicated and come pence assessed. While other | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
surgeons must be qualified doctors, they are not legally qualifhed | :02:32. | :02:34. | |

they are not legally qualifhed to have special qualifications. A lot | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
of the time consultations aren't carried out by doctors. One expert | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
says that has to change. Patients are often seen by an optometrist and | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
not a doctor and they're tr`ined are often seen by an optometrist and | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
not a doctor and they're tr`ined to assess people, but then it's not the | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
same thing as proper continuity of care and I would like to sed higt | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
care and I would like to see higt industries sticking with | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
specialists, or people who `re trained to a high level. The Care | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
trained to a high level. Thd Care Quality Commission told us they'll | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
look into the findings in the report. Meanwhile, the Department of | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Health say they're working with the Royal Royal College of Surgdons to | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
Royal Royal College of Surgeons to tighten standards and improve the | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
way patients are given information. Laser eye surgery isn't routinely | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
available on the NHS and Sasha, like thousands of others was tempted by a | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
cut`price deal. You certainly wouldn't buy a discount par`chute, | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
so you wouldn't buy discount laser eye surgery. I disagree. We take | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
great care to provide good care Laser eye surgery is generally a | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
very safe practice, but with all procedures there are risks. These | :03:41. | :03:42. | |

expect disruption to their travel plans in the coming weeks. The | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
station, which is used by around 50,000 passengers each day will | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
partially close from this Friday. Network Rail said the closure is | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
necessary for a ?6 billion programme to improve travel in the south`east. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
to improve travel in the sotth`east. From the air, you can see the scale | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
of the Thameslink programme, which promises to transform north and | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
south travel through London. London Bridge is at the centre of this | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
project. It's one of the country's project. It's one of the cotntry's | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
biggest stations. Upgrading it, whilst passengers continue to use | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
it, is certainly a challenge. You can see a lot of veleT going on, | :04:47. | :04:49. | |

to commuters as next week London Bridge will be partly closed for | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
nine days. From this Saturd`y, 3rd nine days. From this Saturday, 23rd | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
to 31st August, there's no First Capital Connect or Southern services | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
calling at London Bridge and there will be no direct train to cat wick | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
or Luton Airport. `` Gatwick or Luton Airport. 50,000 commuters are | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
going to be directly affected, but going to be directly affectdd, but | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
it's expected that the knock`on effect on other routes will also | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
affect 250,000 people. For what you pay sometimes you feel therd is | :05:31. | :05:31. | |

have to look for another route, will serve the customer better. I'll | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
have to look for another rotte, but nine days is a long time. We know | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
nine days is a long time. Wd know this is challenging work and it's | :05:44. | :05:44. | |

them. But please bear with ts, them. But please bear with ts, | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
because it will be worth it in the end. This station and the routes in | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
London Bridge are heavily congested. It's one of the most congested | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
routes in Europe. The passengers who use this station every day know | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
that, that's why they sit in carriages on delayed trains. What we | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
are doing is freeing up the capacity so that people can have relhable | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
journeys into London Bridge and into the stations. The overall project | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
will be completed in 2018, so there's still a way to go before | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
there's still a way to go bdfore passengers begin to see a bigger and | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
better London Bridge. That's it for now, but now the | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
weather. A bit of a shock actually when we start tomorrow. Chilly days. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |

scraping into double figures in central London. That's a four out | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
central London. That's a fotr out there in some of the more rural | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
there in some of the more rtral spots. Tomorrow morning, chilly | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
spots. Tomorrow morning, chhlly start. Plenty of sun. Through the | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
afternoon, better chance of staying dry than the last couple of days. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Maybe the odd stray shower, but dry. 17 to 19 there. Below par for the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
time of year. As we go through tomorrow, we'll do it all again | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
We'll be dry right the way through the evening. Couple of stray showers | :07:12. | :07:13. | |

single figures. It will be a bit of single figures. It will be a bit of | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
a shock for the next couple of days when we step out of the door. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Through towards Thursday, a lot of dry and bright weather around. In | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
the outlook, as you'll see, we are looking at the risk of showdrs for | :07:31. | :07:31. | |
Friday though. Good evening. Autumn, August. It's | :07:32. | :07:45. | |
an easy slip of the tongue to make, but the two do seem mixed up at the | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
moment. Tomorrow morning, you could be forgiven for thinking it's | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
October, as you step out the door. It's going to be cold. Why so | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
chilly, well, because we are drawing the air down from the north and the | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
brisk breeze dies down. The showers disappear and the temperatures | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
tumble. Towns and cities nine or ten. In rural areas widely down to | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
four or five degrees and some places just two or three above freezing. A | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
cold start in the morning. Don't be fooled by the sun. It | :08:21. | :08:21. |
