:00:47. > :00:50.Hello. The mounting criticism of the James Paget Hospital in Norfolk
:00:50. > :00:56.has claimed its first casualty today with the resignation of the
:00:56. > :00:59.chairman John Hemming. It all started with elderly
:00:59. > :01:03.patients who told us they were robbed of their dignity and let
:01:04. > :01:10.down by the hospital. Next came inspectors from the health watchdog.
:01:10. > :01:13.They added their voice to the concerns not once, but twice. The
:01:13. > :01:16.pressure mounted when GPs in the area wrote an anonymous letter to
:01:16. > :01:19.the local MPs worried that standards were slipping. And then,
:01:19. > :01:23.last week at Westminster, one local MP called for the chairman to
:01:23. > :01:29.resign. This morning, he did just that. We will speak to him in a
:01:29. > :01:33.moment. Tonight at Westminster, local MPs
:01:33. > :01:37.have been meeting with the Care Quality Commission to find out how
:01:37. > :01:43.bad things are at the James Paget Hospital and what can be done. A
:01:43. > :01:49.hospital has been at the centre of a storm. The chairman felt his
:01:49. > :01:53.presence was a political hindrance, which is why he has gone. He has
:01:53. > :01:59.taken readership seeing the buck stops with him, taking apart full
:01:59. > :02:03.decision. What is important is the hospital moves things are forward
:02:03. > :02:08.so we see improvements. The Care Quality Commission has been worried
:02:08. > :02:12.about care, particularly with nutrition and dignity for elderly
:02:12. > :02:20.residents. But some people have said it has been blown out of
:02:20. > :02:24.proportion. Because an inspection found one concern over 14 things,
:02:24. > :02:29.we are asked to believe it is a disaster. I do not believe it is,
:02:29. > :02:34.this is an over-reaction. It is trying to pin the blame on the
:02:34. > :02:39.hospital to mask the fact it is trying to come to terms with �17
:02:39. > :02:45.million of cuts. A claim denied by the MP who called for Mr Hemmings
:02:45. > :02:52.to go off. This is to do with patients, not politics. I have
:02:52. > :02:56.received complaints, with concerns. A third report will be published.
:02:56. > :03:00.Everyone shows there -- everyone hopes there will be improvements.
:03:00. > :03:06.The drama moves back to Norfolk tomorrow when the Health Secretary
:03:06. > :03:12.visits. He said he will not tolerate a poor standards of care.
:03:12. > :03:20.The whole pack -- the hope is that things will improve fast.
:03:20. > :03:27.John Hemming is in the studio. What is your reaction? Are you angry?
:03:27. > :03:33.am beyond anger. I am just so upset. First of all, I feel I had to
:03:33. > :03:41.resign, because the pressure was on me. I seemed to be in the political
:03:41. > :03:48.storm and I think that it was fair to resign. Have you resign because
:03:48. > :03:53.of what was said last week? Did you have conversations with her? No. In
:03:53. > :03:58.the time she has been an MP, I spoke to a hard for a few minutes
:03:58. > :04:02.on a mobile phone. She has never been to food hospital despite
:04:02. > :04:08.invitations. It was not her comments that made me resign, but
:04:08. > :04:13.the fact that the whole issue of the quality of care got really
:04:13. > :04:22.escalated as a result of her comments in that anonymous letter.
:04:22. > :04:26.That later compared to hospital to care standards in Staffordshire,
:04:26. > :04:31.where Rover 400 people unfortunately died as a result of
:04:31. > :04:36.bad standards of care. -- where more than 400. I would not deny
:04:36. > :04:42.there were problems. We have done a lot of work and we are still doing
:04:42. > :04:46.a lot of work to put those right. am interested in who runs the
:04:46. > :04:54.hospital. You are chairman of the trust, not with day-to-day running
:04:54. > :05:00.of a hospital. Correct. So why are you going and the Chief Executive
:05:00. > :05:05.is staying? MPs are annoyed with me because I told them it would be all
:05:05. > :05:12.right after the first... But it is not all right. The Chief Executive
:05:12. > :05:15.is responsible, so why is she staying? We are in a great team
:05:15. > :05:19.putting the thing right. The Chief Executive is in the middle. There
:05:19. > :05:24.is a vast amount of work going on and a lot of changes and
:05:24. > :05:31.improvements. Should she be watching her back? Have you been
:05:31. > :05:37.protecting her? No, not at all. We have a system in place over the
:05:37. > :05:42.last month for six weeks, where all that is happening all the time is
:05:42. > :05:47.the way patients are fed, we have used governments to do that. Lots
:05:47. > :05:50.of information comes back about what has happened. That is picked
:05:50. > :05:59.up by the Chief Executive and the team leading this programme every
:05:59. > :06:04.day. I was told today by someone who knows a lot about the hospital
:06:04. > :06:08.that there was bullying from management down and shouted down,
:06:08. > :06:15.people who raised concerns were shouted down. Do you recognise
:06:15. > :06:21.that? No, not a told. If you did recognise that, what would you have
:06:21. > :06:26.done? I would not have stood on it. If anyone tells me anything of that
:06:26. > :06:32.nature, I would do something. Someone also described management
:06:32. > :06:39.as dictatorial. Would you agree? Partly. But that is the result of
:06:39. > :06:44.changes made. Recently, we organised a hospital so we have a
:06:44. > :06:48.director of nursing and a director of operations. We had one person
:06:48. > :06:52.doing nursing operations and transformation. That is to be a
:06:52. > :06:56.good job. We have the nursing director responsible for nursing
:06:56. > :07:04.quality. Have you resigned because you know the next report is going
:07:04. > :07:10.to be back? I have not. I resigned because I was in a position where I
:07:10. > :07:14.was highlighted and I am prepared to own up. Does its that knew that
:07:14. > :07:22.you will be remembered for the moment she stood down because
:07:22. > :07:26.patients lost dignity? -- does its sad new? I hope it does not. But I
:07:26. > :07:36.have received many letters from members of start -- from members of

:07:36. > :07:39.staff. Thank you. Campaigners fighting plans to dump
:07:39. > :07:42.nuclear waste near their village will have to wait until tomorrow to
:07:42. > :07:45.find out if their High Court challenge has been successful.
:07:45. > :07:47.Villagers at King's Cliffe in Northamptonshire raised the money
:07:47. > :07:50.themselves to bring the legal action after government gave
:07:50. > :07:55.planning permission. They say the waste would pose a serious health
:07:55. > :08:01.risk. We will stand in front of the court
:08:01. > :08:09.with the banners and placards. There are 23 of us up. About two
:08:09. > :08:13.days ago, there were three of us. I reckon we have picked up. A village

:08:55. > :08:59.an appeal and a public inquiry launched. Campaigners held
:08:59. > :09:09.referendums to prove the community was against plans. But in May this
:09:09. > :09:14.year, Eric Pickles allowed the People felt so angry. Government
:09:14. > :09:21.did not take notice. It made people feel very angry as though their

:09:31. > :09:35.it is found that is not followed properly, the company may not have
:09:36. > :09:41.permission to dump waste. Part of the process is to allow the public
:09:41. > :09:46.to ask difficult questions and allow the experts and regulatory
:09:46. > :09:50.community to allay fears of any of these emotive points. They have

:14:24. > :14:31.of the importing of cocaine as well as the possession of controlled
:14:32. > :14:37.drugs, with intent to supply. Today, police were granted more time to

:15:00. > :15:03.find an armed robber who threatened a shopkeeper with a knife. It

:15:45. > :15:48.thousands of pounds. Pick up a amongst council staff are in the
:15:48. > :15:56.news these days. Reduced government funding means bosses are reviewing
:15:56. > :16:01.wage levels. The staff here have just had their pay docked by two %.
:16:01. > :16:05.At North Norfolk District Council about 100 people face wage cuts. It
:16:05. > :16:09.is nothing to do with government funding. The council is making sure
:16:09. > :16:17.the salaries are fear. They want to make sure men do not get paid more
:16:17. > :16:23.than woman for doing it same job. There are winners and losers. 100
:16:23. > :16:32.staff will get cuts, the rest will stay on the same money or get a
:16:32. > :16:40.small rise. 70 % of people have not been disadvantaged. 30 % have
:16:40. > :16:44.possibly lost through this process, but the council has saved money.
:16:44. > :16:50.The whole workforce will have their contracts terminated and then be
:16:50. > :16:54.issued with new ones. We are supporting more fairness. However,
:16:55. > :17:03.it needs to be balanced in numbers of winners and losers and our

:17:36. > :17:39.buying newspapers these days, but this region is still feeling the
:17:39. > :17:44.benefit of major investment from one of the biggest players. The
:17:44. > :17:50.Express Group decided to move its printing operation to Luton. The
:17:51. > :17:56.site is just off the M1, it has cost �56 million, and we have been
:17:56. > :18:03.for a look around. It used to be black and white, but modern day
:18:03. > :18:08.newspapers are technicolour. These German engineers presses will do

:18:58. > :19:05.the quiet room. It is to hear that editors can send front pages Mehdi
:19:05. > :19:08.-- ready to be converted. The changes will take just minutes
:19:08. > :19:18.before last editions, but the printers do not want journalists to

:19:47. > :19:53.and the press will roll in a month. It has cost more than �11,000 a day
:19:53. > :19:57.to run, and every penny comes from public donations. Today, the East
:19:57. > :20:00.Anglian Air Ambulance marked an important milestone. It signed a
:20:00. > :20:06.new contract for two new helicopters which will make it the
:20:06. > :20:10.most advanced the air ambulance fleet in the country. When Lewis
:20:11. > :20:17.started having a fit on a beach, the a air ambulance was no word to
:20:17. > :20:22.be seen, within minutes, he was on his way to the hospital. Who knows
:20:22. > :20:28.what would have happened? Maybe it is just the job, but to us we could
:20:28. > :20:32.not have done without it. Today, the East Anglian Air Ambulance
:20:32. > :20:39.announced a new contract for seven years. It will bring them to back
:20:39. > :20:46.new helicopters. -- two new helicopters. Once these aircraft
:20:46. > :20:49.are in use, we will have the most up-to-date fleet in the UK. Today
:20:50. > :20:57.we followed one of their existing air ambulance is in the skies above
:20:57. > :21:03.Cambridgeshire. On average they are called on five times a day. The air
:21:03. > :21:08.ambulance has just landed next to this motor way. There is a road
:21:08. > :21:14.accident. Acar had come off the road and back away the driver
:21:14. > :21:18.escaped with minor injuries. Having a doctor on board means the
:21:18. > :21:26.emergency room comes to the patient. We can do open chest surgery at the
:21:26. > :21:32.roadside. Within nine minutes of getting a call, we could be at the
:21:32. > :21:37.roadside providing open chest surgery to a patient. Such a
:21:37. > :21:41.service is not cheap, operating every day costs �4 million a year,
:21:41. > :21:47.all of it from public donations. All the NHS provides is the
:21:47. > :21:53.paramedic. Should the Government be paying? I would agree, but we live
:21:53. > :21:59.in a world that is far from ideal. We have an ambition that doctors
:21:59. > :22:06.will be provided for us. The Government will be very reluctant
:22:06. > :22:10.to pick up the cost of running these hugely expensive helicopters.
:22:10. > :22:15.Dependence on public generosity is precarious, but this has generated
:22:15. > :22:23.a loyal following of benefactors, some who have first-hand experience
:22:23. > :22:30.of the service it provides. At this time of year, hedgehogs are looking
:22:30. > :22:33.for places to hibernate. They might choose a woodpile or some leaves.
:22:33. > :22:39.If you are lighting a bonfire this weekend, just make sure there are
:22:39. > :22:46.none in your bonfire. For some, things get even better, a hedgehog
:22:46. > :22:54.hotel which everything -- with everything that they could wish for.
:22:54. > :23:04.This hotel is just off the road back 47. It is a four-star hotel. -
:23:04. > :23:06.
:23:06. > :23:14.- A 47. The clients are well looked after, including the hedgehogs.

:23:19. > :23:27.owner has run the people would tell for 20 years, and her friend moved
:23:27. > :23:36.away from their hedgehog rescue. The rest is history. This is four-
:23:36. > :23:45.star accommodation. We hope so. We provide what we can, or goat's milk,
:23:45. > :23:49.worms, that is what we can do. These little chaps will be looked
:23:49. > :23:56.after right through the winter. Jenny released six hedgehogs into
:23:56. > :24:05.the wild in September and as far as she knows they are fine. Do they
:24:05. > :24:13.like apples? Yes. We also give them carrots or turnips. They also like
:24:13. > :24:18.worms. They are like sweeties for them. Ivies that happiest hedgehogs
:24:19. > :24:28.in England? Perhaps. They have a beautiful view. Jenny has become
