:00:00. > :00:15.Now, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
:00:16. > :00:24.Good evening and welcome. I'm Alice Bhandh Staff shortages and poor
:00:25. > :00:27.quality care in A, that's the verdict on Northwick Park Hospital
:00:28. > :00:30.after an inspection by the health watchdog. The publication of the
:00:31. > :00:37.Care Quality Commission report comes ahead of next month's closure of two
:00:38. > :00:40.nearby A units. Critics claim this will put Northwick Park Hospital
:00:41. > :00:49.under even more pressure at a time when it is already failing patients.
:00:50. > :00:54.No A can afford to fail, not least one that's being expanded as others
:00:55. > :00:56.nearby close. And outtoday's report paints a picture of the department
:00:57. > :00:57.here at Northwick Park Hosphtal paints a picture of the dep`rtment
:00:58. > :00:59.here at Northwick Park Hospital much here at Northwick Park Hospital much
:01:00. > :01:01.in need of improvement. An assessment that many share. There
:01:02. > :01:06.are long waiting times. Sometimes are long waiting times. Sometimes
:01:07. > :01:10.four hours, sometimes five. It is all about whether you are lucky.
:01:11. > :01:16.all about whether you are ltcky Staff were available pretty quickly
:01:17. > :01:20.and we were really very satisfied. The service was appalling. The way
:01:21. > :01:24.the nurses treat you was appalling. Very disappointed in this hospital.
:01:25. > :01:28.The Care Quality Commission found staff shortages across the trust but
:01:29. > :01:29.singled out Northwick Park Hospital, sag it needs to ensure there are
:01:30. > :01:32.enough staff in A, surgerx sag it needs to ensure therd are
:01:33. > :01:36.enough staff in A, surgery and critical care, and better monitoring
:01:37. > :01:39.of the quality of that care. It called for more appropriate
:01:40. > :01:43.equipment in paediatric services. The maternity unit was rated
:01:44. > :01:47.inadequate for responsiveness, with women not always being able to
:01:48. > :01:51.summon the assistance they required. The timing of this report is
:01:52. > :01:55.particularly sensitive, as of next month the A units at Hammdrsmith
:01:56. > :01:59.and neighbouring Central Middlesex hospitals will close as part of NHS
:02:00. > :02:05.reforms. Placing this one under even more pressure. A concern I put to
:02:06. > :02:07.the trust. Plans later this year involve a significant investment and
:02:08. > :02:09.development in terms of a ndw involve a significant investment and
:02:10. > :02:12.development in terms of a new A department on the Northwick Park
:02:13. > :02:15.Hospital site, some ?20 million of investment. Again we are confident
:02:16. > :02:20.as a board that that development will enhance and improve our ability
:02:21. > :02:24.to look after patients. He points to how they have doubled the ntmber of
:02:25. > :02:28.consultants in a year in A as one of the many measures to improve
:02:29. > :02:31.standards. But others are unconvinced, including the leader of
:02:32. > :02:36.Ealing Council. We were told clearly by the Secretary of State that
:02:37. > :02:40.closures would not occur unless there were adequate provision in
:02:41. > :02:44.place. The CQC has said the provision at Northwick Park Hospital
:02:45. > :02:48.is not good enough, so we are saying halt the closure on 10th September.
:02:49. > :02:50.In response the Department of Health said in a statement today these
:02:51. > :02:52.changes are now for the local said in a statement today these
:02:53. > :02:52.changes are now for the loc`l NHS said in a statement today these
