Good evening. A dramatic rise in the number of | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
operations cancelled at short notice. Hundreds have had surgery | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
postponed because of a shortage of beds in hospital. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
And the system that promises fewer delays for passengers. It is | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
designed to keep train times on track. And best foot forward for | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
breast cancer. We hear from some of the women | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
:00:43. | :00:52. | ||
taking part in this year's and a lack of hospital beds has led | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
to a dramatic increase in the number of operations needing to be | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
cancelled. Hundreds of people needing routine surgery have had | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
their operations postponed at the last minute. This is one day after | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
the Care Quality commission warned that accident and emergency | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
admissions are out of control. Why are some of many operations being | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
:01:25. | :01:25. | ||
cancelled? Dash-mac so many. What we are seeing is the knock-on effect on | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
patients waiting for a routine operations in other parts of | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
hospitals. If we look at the first three months of the year, 170 | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
patients were needing surgery at Milton Keynes General Hospital, they | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
had their operations cancelled at the last minute. That is double the | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
number for last year. In Buckinghamshire and 94 patients had | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
their operations cancelled. That is four times higher than the year | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
before. There were also large increases in Reading and Swindon. It | :01:55. | :02:05. | |
:02:05. | :02:05. | ||
is not like of surgeons -- lack of surgeons. Now, it is lack of beds. | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
The beds are full of people coming into accident and emergency. We have | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
people in beds that used to be on the waiting list. It is an overall | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
problem. It is a lack of proper care pathways. People do not know when | :02:25. | :02:35. | |
and how they will be moved on. Drastic things have to be done. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
patients Association wants changes to the new helpline. People don't | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
really trust it yet. We also need more care in the community. The | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
weather has also not helped. There have been more chest infections as a | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
result of the weather. I wore operations being cancelled in | :03:00. | :03:09. | |
Oxford? We simply do not know. Apparently the computer says not. We | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
are not listed. It has often been running at full capacity, it has | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
been working very hard to compete with the demand for its services. In | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Milton and they have assured us that they have been moving through the | :03:24. | :03:33. | |
backlog of operations weight successfully now. NHS England has | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
pledged that hospitals struggling for money will have a fix. | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
A man arrested after a connection to Operation Bullfinch. It was an | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
operation looking at child sex ring. He is charged with sexual | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
assault of a girl between the age of 13 and 15. There are also two | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
charges of assault. The court is ongoing at the Old Bailey. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
One woman was assaulted near Altrincham while she was walking on | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
the bath with her young daughter. I'm undecided -- a man described as | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
being in his least 40s exposed himself and then indecently | :04:18. | :04:27. | |
assaulted the woman who was pushing her daughter in her body. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Last weeks local elections left the Conservatives won seats short of an | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
overall majority. Independent councillors were going to work with | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
them but say that it is not a coalition and they will retain their | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
independence. My key aim of the time is to make | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
sure that we have a good stable administration. It only to see that | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
we are all working for Oxfordshire. We are not bickering about party | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
politics. I have not merged with the Conservatives, I have never been a | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
conservative, but we think it is important to work with a party who | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
has the largest share of the vote. It is very limited as a wicket. | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
There are only three of us. It is becoming one of the busiest | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
stations in our region. The station is in the middle of an upgrade. It | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
is also the home of a signalling centre that will in the end control | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
:05:39. | :05:41. | ||
of trends in the rich from Cornwall to London. In the -- in the rich. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
It used to be labour-intensive work. Then technology moved on and | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
pressing buttons do the same work. Now it is a computer that controls | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
when and where computers tell trains to go to. The transformation is part | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
of a major investment in rail infrastructure. Some acquirement is | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
being replaced that is more than 50 years old. It is hoped that by the | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
time this project is complete, passengers will notice a real | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
difference in train performance. At the moment around 400 hours of | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
delays per year are caused as a result of signal failures. | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
Passengers want more trains are they want them to run on time. The | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
cyclical in -- the signalling a comment is a part of that problem. | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
Passengers were pleased at the prospect of fewer delays, but most | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
wanted even more improvement. Regular passengers to find problems | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
and it is getting worse. The first cheap rate train is often late, if | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
it were on time this morning, that would be great. Norma commuter -- | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
normal commuter travel is crowded and uncomfortable. It should be more | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
competitive. Real industry in -- experts and confident that real | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
difference will be made. We have needed it for half a century. We are | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
at last going to an air traffic control type of arrangement. It | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
means that things that go wrong can be put right more quickly. And with | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
increasing pressure as passenger numbers rise, anything that reduces | :07:30. | :07:40. | |
:07:40. | :07:43. | ||
have been scrapped by local campaigners. The environment agency | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
had said they would replace the paddle with a motorised alternative. | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
The wheel will now be preserved. Brackley Town could complete a | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
remarkable rise to the highest level of nonleague football. | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
They reached the final after a three against nothing when. This match | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
will be a sell-out as the coaches -- try to seal their fourth when. I | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
felt sick all week. One of our directors says that he waits all | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
week for the games to start and then he cannot wait for the finish. That | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
is what we will feel like. Their influence of last year's | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
Paralympic games are still being felt. Hundreds of children are at | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
competing at my level stadium. Judging aged six to 16 have been | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
:08:52. | :09:02. | ||
Stadium is the home Paralympic sport. Buckinghamshire led by 400 | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
runs in table cricket. Next, Best Buy tried his hand at this game | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
which is similar to balls. It is like you're in a big tournament. | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
are in a team and you win some medals. It is good. Inspired by the | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
games last summer, this girl won her own medal today. It makes a really | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:34. | ||
proud to the cat. It can be really hard, but people just do not give up | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
on themselves. They keep on going and going. More than 100 | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
schoolchildren is from eight different countries have been | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
competing here today. Since the Paralympics, there has been a rise | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
in the number of disabled children taking part in sports. It has really | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
raised the awareness and understanding and it has made more | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
people see the ability rather than the disability. It has undoubted Lee | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
meant that there are more disabled people who are recognising that | :10:12. | :10:17. |
