15/05/2017 East Midlands Today

So, it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One, we now join

And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale.

The cyber-attack on the NHS is still causing disruption, three

In parts of the East Midlands, some GP surgeries have no access

One of our hospital trusts has also cancelled most routine outpatient

Our health correspondent Rob Sissons is in our newsroom.

What is the picture across the East Midlands?

Well, the good news is many of our health trusts say they can no access

patient records and IT systems are running.

But not everywhere Some of the biggest problems

are at the hospital trust that runs Grantham hospital.

Most routine clinic appointments have

United Lincolnshire hospitals which also runs Lincoln county

and Boston hospitals is asking patients with routine appointments

to stay away unless they have been told otherwise.

A of course is still running, and patients expecting chemotherapy

and antenatal apointments are going ahead.

The advice from hosptials in Nottingham Derby and Leicester

seems to its largely business as usual.

The rule of thumb: attend hospitalunless you have have been

When it comes to GP practies, access to computer databases varies,

And, Rob, you've been to a GP surgery in Nottinghamshire this

morning which has no access to computer records?

Yes, with the central servers down as a precaution at this surgery

in Annersley Woodhouse, they are back to the old way

Yes, this is Dr Place having to write out prescriptions and take

For patietns it can mean longer waits, and for the receptionists

they can't access computer booking systems so don't really know

Dr Place say the NHS will want to learn some big lessons

I would probably say we were unprepared for

But we have business continuity plans and

we put those into place, so we are now working on a manual

system, we're still seeing patients, we're open for business.

How have patients reacted towards the cyber attack

Patients I've spoken to seemed very understanding and patient

but wondered how long this will all go on for.

It is outrageous. Look at the problems it is causing. And it was

an accident waiting to happen. I think everyone trusts computers too

much. I did it realise it was out at the doctors, but it was the

hospitals. If you're caught up in this, we would love to hear from

you. Alec e-mail address is on screen. More on our main programme

at 6:30pm. A man who drove without a license

and killed an elderly pedestrian after crashing has been jailed

for eight years. Matthew Hogg, aged 24,

was being chased by police last April through villages

in South Derbyshire. The police had to call off

the pursuit because they said Hogg drove into Hilton at 60mph

and hit a car which crashed into 75-year-old Barrie Arkesden,

who was killed instantly. The judge said Hogg

drove like a madman. An inquest has reopened

into the death of a 52-year-old man who was fatally injured

at the Leicester factory Tarsem Singh was injured in April

last year while he was operating a piece of machinery

at Nylacast Engineering Amy Harris has been in court

and joins us now live in Leicester. Yes, we heard this morning

Tarsem Singh had worked at Nylacast in Thurmaston for

more than 20 years. He was described an an excellent

employee who was very conscientious and hard-working

and loved his job. On Friday April 14 last year,

Mr Singh was operating a piece of machinery at the factory called

a long length rod machine that moulds plastic into long rods

of around three metres in length. Towards the end of his shift, a thud

was heard and Mr Singh was seen The court heard how the end cap

of the machine was on the floor, and it's thought it had come off

and caused injuries The impact was so severe he lost

some of his teeth, and his jaw That trauma to the chest, we heard,

caused a heart attack, Now we also hear there was no

equipment failure or fault found, and no evidence to support a case

of corporate manslaughter from the police investigation,

which is standard procedure. Leicester Cathedral has been given

more than ?3 million pounds of lottery funding towards ambitious

plans to fund its restoration The total project will cost

more than ?11 million The new heritage centre will provide

a permanent exhibition space, a meeting room

and toilet facilities. The Cathedral still needs to raise

more than ?5.5 million A grandmother who set up

a specialist school for children with autism ten years ago says

she feels vindicated. Terri Westmoreland opened Hopehouse

near Newark because she wasn't satisfied with the education her two

severely autistic A lot has changed in ten years.

Hopehouse sprang out of the disused hostel at the sheer determination of

Terri Westmoreland. She wanted a more tailored provision for her

grandson 's and other autistic children. Now it has 25 pupils and

42 star. I did it. It has been a long laborious Pask and I remember

my husband saying, it is derelict, but you have to do what you have to

do. You have to read this bit first. Severe anxiety kept 16-year-old

Holly out of school for two years. This is her second year at

Hopehouse. It is better because I can crack on my home, I have no

pressure of anybody else, there was no iron better the new and bullying

or anything like that. Matthew Lowton read and write at the school

when he was 17, two years on he is taking five GCSEs including law and

he is largely self-taught. He was to study at Cambridge and develop

treatments for autism. The secret to this place is the passion, no one is

here for the paycheque. Everyone is here for the benefit and help of

individuals. Terri Westmoreland encountered a lot of opposition at

first,. 100% vindicated because we are teaching a lots of children and

we are transforming their lives. It wasn't easy and there have been here

a few tears shed by myself, but now we are succeeding which is amazing.

In two months' time, a new location centre will be opening, offering a

break for parents and a holiday for their children.

Time now for the weather forecast. A bell, cloudy and overcast afternoon.

Lots of rain to come over the next few hours and plenty to come over

the next few days as well. It is quite muggy and close and humid, but

that all started fizzle away and clear away as we go through the day

on Wednesday. This is what it looks like this afternoon. Plenty of rain

knocking about. The majority is light, and is the potential for a

couple of slightly heavier pulses. Temperatures around 15, 16 Celsius

through the afternoon, just a touch breezy. Tonight, early hours of

Tuesday morning, the showery theme continues overnight. Quite a mild

night with temperatures not falling far, so in some areas the overnight

lows will be no different to the daytime highs, so a warm and close

start to the day on Tuesday, plenty of cloud. A few showers, not as many

as today, but if you nonetheless, still with taking an umbrella. A

touch warmer tomorrow, 17, 18 Celsius, a couple of 20s on a map as

well. Not so humid as you go through the day on Wednesday, this area of

rain is slowly making its way towards us. It is replaced by a

drier picture, a few showers on Thursday and Friday.

At the back with East Midlands Today at 6:30pm. Had you can join as then.

Have a good afternoon. Goodbye. When it came to my TV habits,

I'd watch anything. But now I can sign in online
