:06:05. > :06:06.controversially closed overnight because of a staffing
:06:07. > :06:14.Fortunately, a fantastic staff come and help us.
:06:15. > :06:17.We have managed to keep A services open.
:06:18. > :06:20.That is one of the reasons why we took the very difficult decision
:06:21. > :06:24.to temporarily close on a partial basis the Grantham A E.
:06:25. > :06:28.That is because we wanted to protect and focus on patient safety.

:07:18. > :07:21.disappointing to find the trust is disappointing to find the trust is
:07:22. > :07:28.back in special measures against us in. Obviously we are concerned that
:07:29. > :07:42.it means that the staff are good to be taken to support the services.
:07:43. > :07:45.Grantham always having great Grantham always having great
:07:46. > :07:50.outcomes, should utilise their assets rather than reduce the
:07:51. > :07:53.services. What does this mean in terms of recruitment? I don't think
:07:54. > :07:57.it will help with the recruitment process. The temporary overnight
:07:58. > :08:00.closure from August, they were struggling to fill the doctors then
:08:01. > :08:05.and now they are back in special measures I don't see that being very
:08:06. > :08:09.attractive. What does this mean in terms of your campaign to get

:09:44. > :10:01.but here's your weather now. Not looking too bad over the next
:10:02. > :10:08.few days. Lovely blue skies and the weather watcher pictures. The high
:10:09. > :10:13.pressure that has been in charge for the lusty days is starting to move
:10:14. > :10:17.out the way, we have this week cold front tomorrow likely to bring some
:10:18. > :10:22.patchy rain with it. Through tonight it is looking rather settled, cloud
:10:23. > :10:27.building in from the north and the odd spot of showers here and there
:10:28. > :10:34.with rows of around eight Celsius. And a light westerly breeze. Towards
:10:35. > :10:40.tomorrow, we will continue on a bright note but through the day we

:11:26. > :11:29.weather front is on the move. The rain edging down into south-western
:11:30. > :11:36.parts of Scotland and northern Ireland. Much of England and Wales
:11:37. > :11:39.will have a dry note but not quite as Chile to start tomorrow. Let's
:11:40. > :11:43.deal with the wet weather first thing tomorrow. It will be a damp
:11:44. > :11:51.start for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Heaviest rain on the hills
:11:52. > :11:52.towards the coast and east of the Pennines, not too much rain
