:01:17. > :01:22.the tune of more than ?25 mhllion. Yet the government maintains the NHS

:01:26. > :01:41.correspondent Andrew Sinclahr. In one sense there is no grdat
:01:42. > :01:47.surprise at these figures. We have known that some of our hosphtals
:01:48. > :01:53.have big financial problems but when taken together it looks bad. 11 out
:01:54. > :01:58.of 19 hospitals are running a deficit. Four years ago there was
:01:59. > :02:03.just one, prove say Labour laboured the NHS is going backwards.
:02:04. > :02:08.Hospitals in the East of England have seen one of the worst declines

:02:31. > :02:36.important thing is that all the hospitals in our region are all
:02:37. > :02:40.working to plans to balance their books. It would be a problel if
:02:41. > :02:46.there was no plan but they `re working to a plan to reduce costs,

:03:36. > :03:42.close. Providing a hospital has a plan and a good management team it
:03:43. > :03:50.is happy to be left to get on with its own standards. There is no talk
:03:51. > :03:55.of closure is happening with our hospitals. What is concerning is
:03:56. > :04:02.that the number of trusts whth deficit deficit has gone up. It is a
:04:03. > :04:06.combination of short`term and seasonal pressures which has caused
:04:07. > :04:11.them to go into deficit and no one in the department of Health seems
:04:12. > :04:16.concerned, but Labour says they think things will get worse as they
:04:17. > :04:23.go into the autumn and wintdr. We shall see. These trusts are having
:04:24. > :04:30.to make cuts. Surely that m`kes it difficult to balance the books? The
:04:31. > :04:33.NHS is having to make cuts of ? 0 billion. Ministers admit th`t is

:14:27. > :14:31.Yarmouth there is among somd parents perhaps low expectation and self

:15:14. > :15:16.We cannot claim to have gotten to the bottom of this issue.
:15:17. > :15:27.The answer is that it's going to be part of the story.
:15:28. > :15:30.But one of the most positive aspects of our
:15:31. > :15:32.report is that we found that great schools make a disproportionate
:15:33. > :15:37.difference to the poorest of children, regardless of ethnicity.
:15:38. > :15:41.One of the problems is that poor performance at school
:15:42. > :15:44.is very often passed from generation to generation.
:15:45. > :15:51.We have got to do everything we can, both to parents and schools,
:15:52. > :15:56.to make sure that we communhcate the central importance of education
:15:57. > :16:02.to families and young peopld so that they are motivated to learn.
:16:03. > :16:05.If they get the qualifications they have a much better chance of having
:16:06. > :16:10.We have heard very often in this part of the world that schools have

:16:45. > :16:49.performance`related pay and issues like that.
:16:50. > :16:53.What you are saying is that if you go to an area like some of our
:16:54. > :16:56.coastal communities you shotld be paid more if you are a good teacher?
:16:57. > :17:02.I would like to see flexibld pay systems that allow higher p`y
:17:03. > :17:06.in the most challenging schools for outstanding teachers.
:17:07. > :17:10.And we know that if we can get those outstanding teachers into those
:17:11. > :17:12.schools, in front of the chhldren from poor homes, they have `
:17:13. > :17:17.Some teachers will say that they tried to involve parents
:17:18. > :17:21.in schooling, try to persuade them to help their children and frankly
:17:22. > :17:27.That is an issue but we also know that outstanding schools
:17:28. > :17:31.get twice the results of inadequate schools, regardless
:17:32. > :17:38.It is not an excuse to say that the children are poor
:17:39. > :17:43.and have unsupportive familhes, "What can you expect us to do?"
:17:44. > :17:45.The truth is, great schools and great teachers
:17:46. > :17:49.make an enormous difference and if we can work at the parent end as
:17:50. > :17:55.well then we have the opportunity to improve education across`thd`board.
