:00:05. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to a new week on Look East with Susie and me. The
:00:08. > :00:14.headlines tonight. Too many babies and not enough
:00:14. > :00:18.midwives, the region's hospitals struggle to deliver.
:00:18. > :00:21.She famously said no to rehab but Amy Winehouse should have said yes,
:00:21. > :00:24.according to the drugs expert who offered to help. I'm disappointed
:00:24. > :00:27.that she didn't actually come here to see other people who were going
:00:27. > :00:30.through the same process. And I think that's what addicts need,
:00:30. > :00:35.they need a bit of hope, they need to see people in their position
:00:35. > :00:42.changing and getting better. Wafting in from paradise, it's not
:00:42. > :00:52.getting any easier at Luton Airport. And the village shop which has
:00:52. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:04.Hello. The baby boom in this region has left many hospitals unable to
:01:04. > :01:08.cope with the demand for maternity services. It means more expectant
:01:08. > :01:13.mums are being turned away from their local hospital. In the
:01:13. > :01:18.eastern region, births are up by 19% in ten years. And during last
:01:18. > :01:21.year alone, 92,000 babies were born here. The baby boom hotspot is
:01:21. > :01:27.Milton Keynes where the number of births has risen by 35%, followed
:01:27. > :01:29.by Cambridgeshire and then Northamptonshire. But according to
:01:29. > :01:35.tonight's Panorama programme, that is pushing local maternity units
:01:35. > :01:38.and midwives to the limit. Some have been forced to send mothers
:01:38. > :01:43.elsewhere. Last year, for example, Cambridge closed its maternity
:01:43. > :01:49.wards 28 times to new admissions. Peterborough and Stamford and
:01:49. > :01:56.Norwich were not far behind. It's led to demands today for more
:01:56. > :02:00.midwives. Milton Keynes Hospital, and midwife
:02:00. > :02:05.Rachel has been assigned to care for Kerry throughout her Labour.
:02:05. > :02:10.Push, push, push. You have been pushing for an hour, so after an
:02:10. > :02:15.hour, we get the doctor is to review. Three years ago, the
:02:15. > :02:18.maternity unit was chronically understaffed. Of them the local
:02:18. > :02:23.coroner called the situation scandalous after three baby deaths
:02:23. > :02:28.they are seen as preventable. Broadly, morale was down. There was
:02:28. > :02:31.a shortage of qualified midwives in this country. And Milton Keynes was
:02:31. > :02:36.not particularly successful in attracting the midwives that there
:02:36. > :02:41.were. By a hospital had to recruit abroad, and has boosted its numbers
:02:41. > :02:45.by more than 30 and successfully turned it maternity service around.
:02:45. > :02:49.Bed shortage is also an issue, Cambridge trust, one of nine across
:02:49. > :02:54.the region that had to close their doors to expectant mothers last
:02:54. > :03:00.year. There is a drive to recruit. This degree course in midwifery won
:03:00. > :03:04.by the University of East Anglia had 400 applicants for 25 places.
:03:04. > :03:08.You get to share an experience with a woman and her family, it is a
:03:09. > :03:13.privilege to be hair -- be there and it is a live challenging event.
:03:13. > :03:17.You have to prioritise women who are more high risk. You have to
:03:17. > :03:25.time it managed effectively as a midwife. What we want to happen is
:03:25. > :03:29.that midwives have adequate Briot caseload, an appropriate way of
:03:29. > :03:33.being able to provide care to women that women expect.
:03:33. > :03:36.Their health but -- the health service has a twofold dilemma, many
:03:36. > :03:42.midwives are going part-time and retiring, but there is a bottleneck
:03:42. > :03:46.of students like these who why yet to be fully trained. -- who are yet
:03:46. > :03:51.to be fully trained. Maternity care has made a quantum leap in the last
:03:51. > :03:55.50 years and more older women are giving birth. As many more move it
:03:55. > :04:02.to the region there is widespread concern that many units are
:04:02. > :04:07.struggling to maintain the dedicated care that Carey received.
:04:07. > :04:10.She gave birth to Nate, a healthy baby boy.
:04:10. > :04:16.Jacqui Gerrard is from the Royal College of midwives, she is in
:04:16. > :04:20.Leeds now. You recommend your organisation, one midwife for every
:04:20. > :04:30.28 births. In this region, it is one in 35 or one in 38. What d'you
:04:30. > :04:34.think about that? That is a concern, the standard to deliver his one in
:04:34. > :04:39.28. If it varies from that and get higher, there is a concern for
:04:39. > :04:43.safety for mums and babies. I know you are a mocking midwife yourself,
:04:43. > :04:47.what is the effect on -- a working midwife yourself, what is the
:04:47. > :04:51.effect on women when they are turned away from hospital? It can
:04:51. > :04:55.be pretty devastating and can have an impact in how they are in their
:04:55. > :05:00.labour and when the baby is berthed. It can have an impact on the
:05:00. > :05:04.women's experience in the terms of how she relates to her baby. The
:05:04. > :05:08.best thing to do is to manage services so we are not in a
:05:08. > :05:12.position where we turn mothers away when they are in labour. Let's turn
:05:12. > :05:17.to Margaret Berry, associate chief nurse at the strategic health
:05:17. > :05:21.authority. I have just looked at your website, it says your mission
:05:21. > :05:25.statement is to deliver a better patient experience. Turning people
:05:25. > :05:31.away from the hospital when they are pregnant is not a better
:05:31. > :05:35.patient experience, is it? That may be the case. It also would be very
:05:35. > :05:41.unwise to provide services from a unit which is overstretched. And
:05:41. > :05:45.therefore put people's safety at risk. Why can't we get more
:05:45. > :05:51.midwives into our hospital? They appear to be trading, but there are
:05:51. > :05:56.not the jobs for them. Are there are paid jobs. We reviewed across
:05:56. > :06:02.the interview -- across the East of England region, we reviewed the
:06:02. > :06:06.situation in 2008 initially, looking at the recommendations from
:06:06. > :06:14.Birth Rate Plus, which is an National recommendation at that
:06:14. > :06:18.time. We discovered we had about 400 midwives to few, so we set
:06:18. > :06:22.about a careful performance monitoring programme, increasing
:06:22. > :06:26.establishments across the East of England. We have recruited an extra
:06:26. > :06:31.400 midwives but clearly, staffing any area with any type of staff is
:06:31. > :06:36.going to be a moving feast. There are bound to be fluctuations in
:06:36. > :06:42.those numbers of staff at any one time. I am sorry to interrupt. Let
:06:42. > :06:48.me bring Jacqui Gerrard back in. Your experience is that midwives
:06:48. > :06:53.are being trained, but there are not any funded posts, yes? This is
:06:54. > :06:57.form a national perspective. The government have printed -- promised
:06:57. > :07:03.us more commissions next year, but the worry is across England, there
:07:03. > :07:08.will not be the funded NHS places, and that will be the fact. Margaret
:07:08. > :07:13.Berry, will there be enough funded NHS places? And there certainly
:07:13. > :07:19.will be across the East of England, there are at the moment. Most
:07:19. > :07:24.miffed -- midwifery establishments are being increased in line with
:07:24. > :07:28.the increase in births at midwifery units. First and foremost, it must
:07:28. > :07:30.be patient safety. Thank you very much for being with
:07:30. > :07:33.us this evening. An expert in drug addiction spoke
:07:33. > :07:36.of his regret today that Amy Winehouse failed to accept his
:07:36. > :07:39.offer of help. Chip Somers, who runs the Focus 12 rehab unit in
:07:39. > :07:43.Suffolk, revealed that he spoke to the singer's father about a course
:07:43. > :07:53.of treatment. Mr Somers said Amy Winehouse would have been alive
:07:53. > :07:59.
:07:59. > :08:03.There was a certain inevitability about a me's death, as there is
:08:03. > :08:07.with all addiction. When you start using drugs and drink in a
:08:07. > :08:15.dependent way, life goes downhill, and it often ends in your life
:08:15. > :08:21.being really or four or you die. -- really awful. I think the song that
:08:21. > :08:26.made her famous about we had was a difficult thing for have. Having
:08:26. > :08:30.made such a public stance about not wanted to go to rehabilitation, it
:08:30. > :08:35.would have been very difficult for her to come to someone and say, I
:08:35. > :08:40.was wrong, I need help, can you help me? Bid you ever treat a me,
:08:40. > :08:44.or did you look at possible -- did you ever treat her or did you look
:08:44. > :08:48.at possible treatment? We looked at treatment for her, her father came
:08:48. > :08:54.and looked at the unit. The problem was that families find places, it
:08:54. > :08:59.is trying to persuade the person concerned that they need help. In
:08:59. > :09:04.Amy Winehouse's case, she sadly did not take up the offer. What for you
:09:04. > :09:08.are the most important lessons you learn from this? We need to learn
:09:09. > :09:12.that we do not glamorise or romanticise really bad behaviour. I
:09:12. > :09:17.hope that what's good comes out of this, before using drugs today will
:09:17. > :09:21.take time out to reflect on what they are doing, and see that even
:09:21. > :09:26.at 27, if you misuse drugs, it will take your life away. And that
:09:26. > :09:29.people can reflect on that. And also that people can get better.
:09:30. > :09:33.What happened to Amy Winehouse does not have to be the inevitable
:09:33. > :09:38.conclusion of drug addiction. People can change and it is never
:09:38. > :09:40.too late to do so. Chip Somers talking to our reporter earlier
:09:40. > :09:43.today. For most, it's the start of the
:09:43. > :09:46.school holidays this week and of course that means a busy time for
:09:46. > :09:50.our airports. But for some it's been a frustrating time getting
:09:50. > :09:53.away at Luton Airport. The airport, which led the way in package
:09:53. > :10:00.holidays, is becoming a victim of its own success. Mike Cartwright is
:10:00. > :10:05.there now. The worst of the congestion
:10:05. > :10:09.happened here in the early morning, when we have 40 flight coming in
:10:09. > :10:13.and out. Be queues can stretch from the M1 down there up to the
:10:13. > :10:17.terminal. One up passenger described this roundabout as a
:10:17. > :10:20.bottleneck. You have got a dual carriageway of there, too macro
:10:21. > :10:25.minor roads are there, and they filled up to the main road up to
:10:25. > :10:29.the terminal. He described this as horrendous.
:10:30. > :10:34.Sitting in traffic is stressful. But if you're on a countdown to
:10:34. > :10:38.catch a flight, it can feel frantic. Passengers today told us they
:10:38. > :10:47.feared flights would leave without them while they sat in slow traffic
:10:47. > :10:51.below. We thought we would miss our flight, it was a mad rush, we got
:10:51. > :10:56.to the airport and it was really busy. It was completely backed up
:10:56. > :11:01.and we could not jump out because you get charged. At the roundabout
:11:01. > :11:04.especially, it is such a bottleneck, people could barely get moving.
:11:04. > :11:10.cause of the problem, the route from the motorway to the airport.
:11:10. > :11:14.We drove it, from junction 10 on the M1, up the road to junction 10a,
:11:14. > :11:19.along the dual carriageway, around the roundabout, Amanda -- under the
:11:19. > :11:23.bridge and into the airport. That is just over three miles, it was a
:11:23. > :11:29.clear run, it only took five minutes. A journey that at peak
:11:29. > :11:39.times in the morning can take four -- 30, 40 or even longer minutes.
:11:39. > :11:40.
:11:40. > :11:44.In the long term its -- it needs a better structure. It is a cul-de-
:11:44. > :11:49.sac. It needs expanding, I am going straight to the council to see what
:11:49. > :11:53.we are doing. The council took photographs of the queues every day
:11:53. > :11:58.for three months. They say the problem is... Junction 10a is over
:11:58. > :12:03.capacity. Since the Highways Agency improved the M1, traffic comes
:12:03. > :12:07.straight off the M1 on to junction 10a, that is creating demand at the
:12:07. > :12:12.junction cannot meet. A Highways Agency say they will work with the
:12:12. > :12:17.council to improve junction 10a. 10 million passengers fly in and out
:12:17. > :12:20.of Luton every year, and that figure could raise two 30 million.
:12:20. > :12:26.Improvements to the road will only happen when the airport, the
:12:26. > :12:31.council and the Highways Agency find ethics between them.
:12:31. > :12:35.-- find a fix. The Highways Agency have told us
:12:35. > :12:39.they will support the council, the boss of the airport said it was a
:12:39. > :12:45.cul-de-sac. The airport will get bigger, and people say without
:12:45. > :12:48.improvements, there can -- and will just get worse. -- the congestion
:12:48. > :12:51.will just get worse. Later in Look East: The first of
:12:51. > :12:53.our special reports on our athletes heading for the Olympic Games next
:12:53. > :12:55.year. We've been to the village shop in

:13:43. > :13:50.One of the vehicles collided with his office superstore on the
:13:50. > :13:54.junction. A resident told me what he saw. It sounded like someone was
:13:54. > :14:02.kicking in garages, that is what we thought it was. Then the Blues and
:14:02. > :14:07.twos started going. We saw the taxi crash into the shop. A 30 year-old
:14:07. > :14:11.police constable, who was driving, and a 19 year-old Special Hospital,
:14:12. > :14:15.-- special constable, were taken to the hospital along with the taxi

:20:36. > :20:40.injured. Now, with the year to go, he has discovered a medical
:20:40. > :20:49.condition which could blow his chances. His own body is trying to
:20:49. > :20:57.destroy his thyroid gland. I get a mental fog. And sailing it is a
:20:57. > :21:02.mental sport, probably 70% mental, and I could not race. The condition
:21:02. > :21:05.is making him really tired. Before it was diagnosed, he could not
:21:05. > :21:09.distinguish between being tired because of training or being tired
:21:09. > :21:19.because he is ill. Now he knows and he is dealing with it, and now it

:21:33. > :21:38.Wants to know what it is, it you can almost control it again. --
:21:38. > :21:42.once you know what it is. A lot of people are affected by an
:21:42. > :21:46.undirected or overactive thyroid, and a lot of people have achieved
:21:46. > :21:50.great things with it. There is no reason why we cannot get back to
:21:50. > :21:54.where we were. Missing out on Beijing was really hard, and with
:21:54. > :21:58.what has happened, we do not want that to happen again. We are
:21:58. > :22:03.definitely more determined than ever to get there. He had lived
:22:03. > :22:09.here all his life, he learned to sail two years -- two miles from
:22:09. > :22:14.where he learnt to ride a bike. But qualifying four London 2012 will
:22:14. > :22:17.take everything he gets. The crunch comes in December, a metal is a
:22:17. > :22:20.must at the world championships. No pressure.
:22:20. > :22:23.Tomorrow night, I will be presenting Look East live from the
:22:23. > :22:26.Olympics venue at Stratford. With just a year left to go, I'll be
:22:26. > :22:29.finding out how the park is progressing. And Gail Emms from
:22:29. > :22:33.Milton Keynes, who won a silver medal at the Olympics in 2004, is
:22:33. > :22:36.on the radio right now for the start of a new series devoted to
:22:36. > :22:38.the Olympic Games. You can listen on BBC Three Counties Radio or on
:22:38. > :22:42.their website. Now when it comes to shopping, it's
:22:42. > :22:46.often said that service isn't what it used to be. We live in a time of
:22:46. > :22:50.grumpy assistants and self-service tills. But in the Suffolk village
:22:50. > :22:54.of Westhall it's very different. Tony Whatling has been running the
:22:54. > :23:04.village shop for 60 years. Now 85, Tony always delivers service with a
:23:04. > :23:17.
:23:17. > :23:23.Well, you will not get a better shop anywhere. Tony? He is the best
:23:23. > :23:28.man in the world. Tony Whatling opened the village shop in Westhall
:23:28. > :23:33.when he left the mark -- left the Army in 1951. And yes, you has seen
:23:33. > :23:39.some changes since then. It was closed when I first came here, and
:23:39. > :23:44.of course, there was rationing. And there was no paper to wrap anything
:23:44. > :23:52.in. People had to bring a plate to put their bacon on and a jam jar to
:23:52. > :23:57.put the sugar in. Tony's stores is not so much a shop or a meeting
:23:57. > :24:02.place -- a more a meeting place. This couple arrive to buy a few
:24:02. > :24:06.bits and pieces, Derek has popped in to try his luck on the lottery.
:24:06. > :24:10.She needs some money from the Post Office, and David has been caught
:24:10. > :24:16.speeding and meet a number it to pay his fine. Could not live
:24:16. > :24:20.without it, really. It is part of the village. Tony has been here 60
:24:20. > :24:29.years. There will never be another Tony Whatling. I come every week,
:24:29. > :24:35.to draw my wages, my pension. we are not feeling up to a lot, I
:24:35. > :24:42.am, Tony, he says, I will send down to get you a list of what you up --
:24:43. > :24:48.what you want. That his service for you. Yes, if you do not -- if you
:24:48. > :24:53.went to Tesco's, they do not want to know. Tony's stores is about 10
:24:53. > :25:03.shops in one. Clothing, chemist, hardware, stationery, off-licence,
:25:03. > :25:04.
:25:04. > :25:09.greengrocer, delicatessen, and... Post Office. It is true some items
:25:09. > :25:16.look as though they have been on the shoals for years, decades, even.
:25:16. > :25:21.But there is something here for everyone, it even fork handles.
:25:21. > :25:27.Tony has no plans to retire, which is just as well, because the old
:25:27. > :25:31.place would not be the same without him.
:25:31. > :25:35.You know where to go if you want a coronation mug!
:25:35. > :25:44.That is the kind of story that leaves a smile on your face. Will
:25:44. > :25:48.Perhaps eventually, but the theme of the week is cloud. The best of
:25:49. > :25:56.the sunshine was further west today. The reason is low pressure out over
:25:56. > :26:05.the Losey -- the North Sea, which will make conditions cloudy. Expect
:26:05. > :26:10.further cloud, but it will gradually turn ormer. -- warmer.
:26:10. > :26:17.The cloud tonight could produce the odd spot of light rain, but mainly
:26:17. > :26:21.dry for most of us. The whims become variable for a time, but
:26:21. > :26:28.they are eventually starting to turn north-westerly and they are
:26:28. > :26:31.generally light in strength. Four tomorrow, we have got this area of
:26:31. > :26:38.low pressure. It heads south what, but this other glimmer of hope is
:26:38. > :26:44.this area of pressure to the south- west. It will turn brighter and
:26:44. > :26:47.warmer towards the end of the week. There is the risk of the odd light
:26:47. > :26:53.shower for parts of Norfolk and Suffolk tomorrow, but most places
:26:53. > :26:59.staying dry, if rather cloudy. Best of the brightness in the West, that
:26:59. > :27:06.is where the best of the temperatures will be as well. A
:27:06. > :27:13.touch breezy around the Norfolk and Suffolk coast. Through the
:27:13. > :27:17.afternoon, it is still stays fairly cloudy, the odd glimmer of
:27:17. > :27:21.brightness and sunny spells in the west. A five-day forecast, a fair
:27:21. > :27:28.bit of cloud to deal with on Wednesday, but with more sunshine
