:00:13. > :00:17.And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale. Good
:00:18. > :00:20.evening. East Midlands Ambulance Service has been ordered to make
:00:21. > :00:24.further improvements after ht was sharply criticised following a
:00:25. > :00:27.recent inspection. The Care Quality Commission found that a number of
:00:28. > :00:33.essential standards were not being met. Staff spoke of being overworked
:00:34. > :00:41.and under`resourced. Our he`lth correspondent Rob Sissons rdports on
:00:42. > :00:46.the challenges facing the sdrvice. Year after year, the control room
:00:47. > :00:50.answer as record numbers of 999 calls, at home and control hs the
:00:51. > :00:56.service? It is not rocket science, but it seems it can be a difficult
:00:57. > :01:00.art to get there quick. The inspectors looked at six essential
:01:01. > :01:05.care standards. East Midlands Ambulance Service Mr four of them.
:01:06. > :01:10.The reasons? Minimum response times to life`threatening calls wdre not
:01:11. > :01:15.being met. The run not enough vehicles, and insufficient staff
:01:16. > :01:21.suitably qualified, skills `nd experience. Standards fit, hnfection
:01:22. > :01:28.control and the good complete system was recognised. Big improvelents are
:01:29. > :01:32.still needed. We recognise that the trust has made some improvelents. It
:01:33. > :01:36.has a long way to go to meet the essential standards of qualhty and
:01:37. > :01:39.safety. Staff told inspectors what it is like. We put other people s
:01:40. > :01:54.voices to some of their comlents. Yet sometimes, we have thred people
:01:55. > :01:57.to do the same job. Some 998 calls, the less serious ones, are getting
:01:58. > :02:04.advice rather than an ambul`nce sent. It eases front`line pressure,
:02:05. > :02:07.but patients do not always like it. It shocks a lot of people when we
:02:08. > :02:16.ring back because their first argument may be, well, I wanted an
:02:17. > :02:19.ambulance. After so many ch`nges, this is now the new woman fhlling in
:02:20. > :02:24.at the top. If she has ambitions for the job permanently, it is likely
:02:25. > :02:26.sustained improvement will have to be delivered.
:02:27. > :02:28.Our health correspondent Rob Sissons reporting. Well, earlier thd
:02:29. > :02:32.ambulance service's interim chief executive, Sue Noyes, came hnto the
:02:33. > :02:40.studio. I asked her if EMAS could deliver the required improvdments.
:02:41. > :02:45.We are working through the changes that are required since I joined the
:02:46. > :02:49.trust, we're working through a quality improvement programle, that
:02:50. > :02:54.has been in place. It has shown some improvements, and I would w`nt to
:02:55. > :02:58.reassure your viewers that we're seeing some improvements in terms of
:02:59. > :03:02.response times. The CQC camd to us in January, and we have movdd on
:03:03. > :03:07.since then, that we are in no way complacent. We have work to do. Will
:03:08. > :03:13.you be on the job long enough to see those improvements relate? How long
:03:14. > :03:22.will this process take? A contract without Commissioner Siesta live in
:03:23. > :03:26.`` see us delivering. My contract has been extended for anothdr six
:03:27. > :03:33.months. There are issues overstaffing, morale, vehicles. Do
:03:34. > :03:41.you not have enough money to do the job properly? This is about a
:03:42. > :03:50.process issue. So it is not money? Money is apart. `` a part. Ht is
:03:51. > :03:56.about looking at the jigsaw and seeing is this working the best we
:03:57. > :03:59.possibly can? There are comlents, that will cause people concdrned.
:04:00. > :04:04.One of my remit is about improving staff morale. We will leave it
:04:05. > :04:07.there. Thank you very much hndeed. Detectives investigating a shooting
:04:08. > :04:11.in Nottingham are asking for help from hospitals across the E`st
:04:12. > :04:14.Midlands. They're trying to trace a man who's believed to have been shot
:04:15. > :04:23.in the foot. Our social aff`irs correspondent Jeremy Ball rdports
:04:24. > :04:28.from the St Anns area of thd city. This is the takeaway where police
:04:29. > :04:31.were called to deal with faked yesterday afternoon. Some pdople
:04:32. > :04:36.reported hearing load ban, but it is still far from clear what h`ppened.
:04:37. > :04:39.Today, these officers have been meticulously scaring the scdne. We
:04:40. > :04:46.are told they have found evhdence that a gun was fired. So far, no
:04:47. > :04:49.damage and no victim. They `re investigating CCTV recordings, some
:04:50. > :04:57.of which shows a man reportddly being shot in the foot. Detdctives
:04:58. > :05:02.also want to trace a group of men who were seen arriving here in a
:05:03. > :05:06.blue Ford focus. That was sden around the same time yesterday,
:05:07. > :05:10.around 4pm, and finding that car and its passengers is a prioritx

:05:14. > :05:17.may have to be demolished after a fire. The building is in thd grounds
:05:18. > :05:21.of Eastwood Cemetery, where some members of the writer DH Lawrence's
:05:22. > :05:29.family are buried. Helen Astle reports.
:05:30. > :05:34.Through the trees, you can see the flames and smoke of the fird
:05:35. > :05:38.lighting up the night sky. By day, it is a bleak picture. The former
:05:39. > :05:44.chapel at Eastwood Cemetery has been severely damaged. I looked out of
:05:45. > :05:48.the door and there was a big orange glow in the sky over there. You
:05:49. > :05:53.could hear the rafters burnhng and clattering away and falling into the
:05:54. > :06:00.church. It was a complete fhreball to be honest. The Fire Brig`de were
:06:01. > :06:08.called and 30 firefighters tackled the blaze. Little could be done to
:06:09. > :06:12.save the building. There ard some significant structural damage into
:06:13. > :06:18.the premises. There is risk of collapse even now. Investig`tions
:06:19. > :06:22.have been continuing throughout the day to find out exactly how this
:06:23. > :06:28.fire started. It seems likely that this former chapel, built in 18 8,
:06:29. > :06:31.will have to be demolished. That's your news so it's goodbye

:06:40. > :06:45.day today, and we are expecting it to remain largely dry and sdttled
:06:46. > :06:49.for the remainder of the wedk. Overnight tonight, it remains dry,
:06:50. > :06:52.there will be clear skies around. We have had the cloud breaking as we
:06:53. > :06:55.have gone through this evenhng. Temperatures really do take a drop
:06:56. > :07:01.when we have the clear skies. Lows of six Celsius. Towns and chties,
:07:02. > :07:08.lower than that into rural sheltered spots. Tomorrow there will be bright

:07:16. > :07:23.one or two isolated showers. A good deal of dry weather, a high of 4

:08:20. > :08:27.most of England and Wales have a dry start. Some spells of sunshine
:08:28. > :08:31.especially across the East, but some mist and fog patches around. They
:08:32. > :08:36.should not last too long. The main change tomorrow is this rain slowly
