:00:00. > :00:00.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight:
:00:07. > :00:12.what next for two of our hospitals as they face escalating costs?
:00:13. > :00:15.Another horse doping revelation shakes Newmarket `
:00:16. > :00:22.this time, the horse under investigation is owned by the Queen.
:00:23. > :00:25.As the Commonwealth Games get under way,
:00:26. > :00:28.we look at where we can expect to pick up medals.
:00:29. > :00:32.And it needs some TLC, but this seaside pier could be all yours
:00:33. > :00:47.First tonight, the dilemma facing the NHS.
:00:48. > :00:52.and still provide the care patients deserve.
:00:53. > :00:55.Change is needed and fast, say doctors,
:00:56. > :01:01.the Bedfordshire risks overspending by ?50 million.
:01:02. > :01:06.greater demands on healthcare and an aging population.
:01:07. > :01:10.And hospitals in Bedford and Milton Keynes are feeling the pressure.
:01:11. > :01:14.But local people are worried the push for change and cutting costs
:01:15. > :01:18.will mean facilities at their nearest hospital will be downgraded.
:01:19. > :01:27.Neil Bradford's at Bedford Hospital now.
:01:28. > :01:35.Since this review began in to both hospitals, has been speculation
:01:36. > :01:42.about Accident and Emergency services here at Bedford Hospital.
:01:43. > :01:45.32 different solutions have been considered, they have been whittled
:01:46. > :01:50.down to five. All five options are being looked at and contain some
:01:51. > :01:54.form of emergency care at Bedford Hospital. Some are better, some are
:01:55. > :01:58.worse than the service currently provided. What is sure that the
:01:59. > :02:01.services provided now cannot stay. With rising costs and falling
:02:02. > :02:03.budgets, health care provision in Milton Keynes
:02:04. > :02:05.and Bedford needs urgent attention. The Clinical Commissioning Groups
:02:06. > :02:08.responsible for that care say the current provision
:02:09. > :02:11.is unsustainable. In January, they began reviewing
:02:12. > :02:17.emergency services in both towns. Unions are worried about
:02:18. > :02:20.the outcome for Bedford Hospital. It looks
:02:21. > :02:22.like a de`escalation or downgrading of A services at Bedford Hospital
:02:23. > :02:27.in favour of another trust locally. Very worrying and disconcerting, not
:02:28. > :02:30.only for the stakeholders but obviously conversely employees
:02:31. > :02:35.and users at Bedford Hospital. The CCGs are looking at five
:02:36. > :02:39.possible models of emergency care. Three out of the five scenarios
:02:40. > :02:43.involve an enhanced A department in Milton Keynes
:02:44. > :02:45.while the other two include All scenarios include some level
:02:46. > :02:52.of emergency care at both sites. The clinical commissioning groups
:02:53. > :02:54.for Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes say there are no
:02:55. > :02:58.preconceived outcomes. The preferred options go to public
:02:59. > :03:02.consultation later this year. The patient watchdog says it is
:03:03. > :03:05.important that people take part. We always have concerns
:03:06. > :03:09.because any change is worrying for people, people always have
:03:10. > :03:14.concerns about changes. But I think the important thing
:03:15. > :03:18.is we have to have a say The review is also looking
:03:19. > :03:21.at community`based care and ways of reducing
:03:22. > :03:24.emergency admissions. The Clinical
:03:25. > :03:50.Commissioning Groups say So will patients notice the
:03:51. > :03:52.depends on the outcome of this depends on the
:03:53. > :03:53.review. Those conducting it says review. Those conducting it says
:03:54. > :03:57.most patients will not. For example, if you turned up at Accident and
:03:58. > :04:01.Emergency, you're still be treated. What happens next? If it is a minor
:04:02. > :04:05.injuries unit or something on that scale, you'll be treated and then
:04:06. > :04:08.transferred to a bigger unit. To a certain degree, that is all ready
:04:09. > :04:11.happening with things like heart attacks. Thank you.
:04:12. > :04:12.Dr Dianne Bell is from
:04:13. > :04:14.the Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group,
:04:15. > :04:20.at the same time as improving the service.
:04:21. > :04:24.It is about the fact that the models of care we have
:04:25. > :04:28.actually are not suitable for the population's needs these days.
:04:29. > :04:31.But money here is the most important thing, isn't it?
:04:32. > :04:34.And you you've got millions and millions of pounds
:04:35. > :04:40.This is about getting value for the money we have.
:04:41. > :04:45.So, yes, we do have limited resources, that is an inevitability.
:04:46. > :04:48.It is in our personal budget, it is in our NHS budgets as well.
:04:49. > :04:51.But we know we can do more with the money we are given.
:04:52. > :04:53.And that is what this review is about.
:04:54. > :04:57.The thing that people are really worried about here is that,
:04:58. > :05:00.will their local hospital, whether it is in Bedford or
:05:01. > :05:09.Milton Keynes, be different than it is now ` be downgraded, if you like?
:05:10. > :05:13.I think the one thing we can say is that the model of health care
:05:14. > :05:16.will be different because we know the status quo is not an option.
:05:17. > :05:18.But this is not just about hospital`based services.
:05:19. > :05:22.We are looking at really beefing up and improving the quality of care
:05:23. > :05:26.That means you never need to use the hospital in the first place.
:05:27. > :05:34.OK, but let's just talk about the hospitals for a moment.
:05:35. > :05:35.Let's talk about the thing that everyone wants
:05:36. > :05:38.to have on their doorstep and that is a good A Department.
:05:39. > :05:41.Can you guarantee that after this consultation period has
:05:42. > :05:43.finished, that both hospitals will retain their A departments?
:05:44. > :05:47.The options we are looking at all include an A Department
:05:48. > :05:50.in each of Bedford and Milton Keynes hospitals.
:05:51. > :05:56.Well, as I said, the status quo is not an option.
:05:57. > :05:58.So we are looking at different types of hospital models,
:05:59. > :06:06.Some of those models mean more services provided in one of those
:06:07. > :06:08.hospitals than are currently provided and the other options
:06:09. > :06:11.are looking at where we can link or network hospitals together
:06:12. > :06:13.to provide better quality but it means linking with other hospitals
:06:14. > :06:18.I know we are not in the formal public consultation period
:06:19. > :06:22.at the moment but you are wanting to hear people's views.
:06:23. > :06:26.And people will simply tell you they want the best quality of care
:06:27. > :06:31.You are not necessarily going to be able to deliver that, are you?
:06:32. > :06:33.Well, we are not able to deliver that today,
:06:34. > :06:37.So, for example, if you have a heart attack today and you are
:06:38. > :06:41.right next to Bedford Hospital, the ambulance that picks you up will not
:06:42. > :06:44.take you to Bedford Hospital, it'll take you straight to a heart attack
:06:45. > :06:48.And when you talk to people about what they really want,
:06:49. > :06:51."I will travel to the ends of the world
:06:52. > :06:53."to know I will get the best possible care
:06:54. > :06:57."that gives me the best possible outcomes."
:06:58. > :07:00.Senior racing figures in Newmarket have described
:07:01. > :07:04.the latest doping controversy to hit the town as a "genuine mistake".
:07:05. > :07:06.The sport was thrown back into the headlines
:07:07. > :07:08.after it emerged the Queen's horse, Estimate,
:07:09. > :07:11.failed a drugs test after the recent Gold Cup at Ascot.
:07:12. > :07:19.Mike Liggins sent us this report from Newmarket.
:07:20. > :07:27.This is Sir Michael Stoute's yard in Newmarket, Freemason Lodge. The
:07:28. > :07:34.gates remain close. This is not a doping scandal but it is clearly an
:07:35. > :07:37.embarrassment for one of Britain's's best`known trainers. A
:07:38. > :07:46.string of horses returning to Freemason Lodge this morning. Sir
:07:47. > :07:53.Michael Stoute would have woken up to some very uncomfortable headlines
:07:54. > :07:56.but it was business as usual in the yard. As we were filming, Sir
:07:57. > :07:58.Michael drew up in his car. Waiting Michael drew up in his car. Waiting
:07:59. > :08:03.for samples, nothing more to say at this stage. He was friendly enough
:08:04. > :08:13.but he was not stopping for a chat. When Estimate won last year, the
:08:14. > :08:21.Queen was delighted. But then Estimate tested positive for poppy
:08:22. > :08:24.seeds. They were not too thrilled to see our cameraman today because they
:08:25. > :08:29.have a Royal warrant. The company issued a statement saying the
:08:30. > :08:36.contamination did not take place at their side but from a supplier. Back
:08:37. > :08:40.in Newmarket, a trainer said he had concern for all concerns will stop
:08:41. > :08:45.their progress in making sure those things do not get in. But a poppy
:08:46. > :08:49.seed is the size of a pinhead and it does not take too many poppy seeds
:08:50. > :08:57.to come up with a positive sample. Sue Dyson is an expert in equine
:08:58. > :09:00.medicine. The testing is very rigorous, so they can pick up a tiny
:09:01. > :09:07.amounts of any foreign substance at all. We have no idea of the
:09:08. > :09:12.concentration identified. If it was tiny, it would have a negligible
:09:13. > :09:14.effect on the performance. It is an embarrassment for the Queen, for so
:09:15. > :09:20.Michael Stoute, who is one of the most experienced trainers as well as
:09:21. > :09:24.being a leading trainer. No blame to be attached to him for this. An
:09:25. > :09:30.embarrassment for Sir Michael Stoute and for the Queen. What is also
:09:31. > :09:34.clear is that when it comes to ban `` to band substances, the authority
:09:35. > :09:39.has a zero tolerance approach. The first piece
:09:40. > :09:41.in a transport jigsaw which promises to make it easier
:09:42. > :09:44.to travel from Cambridge to London Work has started on new stretch
:09:45. > :09:47.of the guided busway that will link up to
:09:48. > :09:50.the new railway station being built to the north
:09:51. > :09:52.of Cambridge. Drivers and cyclists
:09:53. > :09:53.are being warned the work but the council says
:09:54. > :10:00.it will be worth it. In less than a year, the digger
:10:01. > :10:02.will be replaced by buses, carrying passengers to a new railway
:10:03. > :10:05.station just north of Cambridge. It is being built at
:10:06. > :10:08.the old Chesterton rail sidings. From there, direct trains to London
:10:09. > :10:12.or North to King's Lynn. This new stretch of busway and
:10:13. > :10:17.a cycle track will cost ?6 million, paid for with a grant
:10:18. > :10:19.from the Government. It is a good opportunity for local
:10:20. > :10:24.business and local people and also for the future people who
:10:25. > :10:29.might come and live in this area. It will have a direct access
:10:30. > :10:31.into the busway. It will be ten minutes up the road,
:10:32. > :10:36.where 10,000 homes will be built. All of that together in the longer
:10:37. > :10:40.term, the benefits are enormous. The latest big show that
:10:41. > :10:44.around 30,000 people a month That is 10,000 more than it
:10:45. > :10:51.when it first opened two years ago. That is where the current section
:10:52. > :10:54.of guided busway ends. That is where
:10:55. > :10:56.the new section will begin. As you can see,
:10:57. > :10:58.work has already begun. It is due to be completed
:10:59. > :11:00.early next year. In the meantime,
:11:01. > :11:04.it will mean some disruption. Construction work will now
:11:05. > :11:07.be happening during the day. Milton Road will still be open
:11:08. > :11:10.to traffic in both directions but may be narrowed in places with
:11:11. > :11:14.cars being directed use bus lanes. From later this month, until
:11:15. > :11:18.December, the cycleway underpass Cyclists will have to cross
:11:19. > :11:24.and use the park on the other side. I think it is a bit
:11:25. > :11:27.of a problem that cyclists Cyclists and pedestrians will have
:11:28. > :11:31.to cross the road two or three times when at the moment
:11:32. > :11:34.they don't have to I am working as closely
:11:35. > :11:36.as possible with the project team to see if we can
:11:37. > :11:41.mitigate that but, frankly, we have to deliver this station because it
:11:42. > :11:45.is so important for the wider area. The new section of busway is due
:11:46. > :11:48.to be complete by March next year, in plenty of time
:11:49. > :11:51.for the new railway station, It's thought that
:11:52. > :11:59.the Conservative Party will make
:12:00. > :12:01.an official statement shortly over the future of
:12:02. > :12:05.Bury St Edmunds MP David Ruffley. It follows publication
:12:06. > :12:09.of a letter referring to his recent
:12:10. > :12:11.police caution for assault Now it's over to Stewart and Susie
:12:12. > :12:33.for the rest of the programme. Coming up, the appliance of
:12:34. > :12:41.bioscience. Plus a rare opportunity to buy your own seaside pier.
:12:42. > :12:44.The reputation of this region as a powerhouse for bio sciences
:12:45. > :12:47.Today, two major projects were unveiled which will boost
:12:48. > :12:52.The Euro MP Richard Howitt was shown plans for a multimillion pound
:12:53. > :12:54.science park at Downham Market in Norfolk which hopes to attract
:12:55. > :12:56.so`called "Big Data" companies and build research links with
:12:57. > :13:03.And earlier, the minister for Life Sciences opened
:13:04. > :13:15.Alex Dunlop has tonight's special report.
:13:16. > :13:21.Bioscience and Lakeside it seems are the new school. Cambridge and
:13:22. > :13:28.Norwich have become international house where you can learn a whole
:13:29. > :13:33.new world. This is just a glimpse. They call this molecular farming.
:13:34. > :13:39.This is just one aspect. It simply this branch of science use with
:13:40. > :13:44.advances in the world of food, medicine and energy. This new centre
:13:45. > :13:51.is key to the campers, it will be the beating heart of the technology
:13:52. > :13:54.cluster here at Norwich Research Park. More than 3000 researchers
:13:55. > :13:57.worked at the park and soon there will be more. These laboratories
:13:58. > :14:02.will be leased out to scientists and academics who want to pursue new
:14:03. > :14:05.ideas. Across the road there is a new ?11 million building. It offers
:14:06. > :14:10.space for new companies, meeting people who want to share your ideas.
:14:11. > :14:13.The government is aware that if we can beat the way in advanced
:14:14. > :14:18.scientific research it will have major benefits for the economy. That
:14:19. > :14:22.is why it is ploughing millions of pounds into places like this and has
:14:23. > :14:28.just created the new post of life sciences minister. A job that George
:14:29. > :14:31.Freeman said he will relish. He used to drive himself to the research
:14:32. > :14:36.Park but now that a minister he is dropped at the front door. The
:14:37. > :14:40.belief is to tell the world that Britain is investing heavily in and
:14:41. > :14:43.believes in the appliance of bioscience to tackle the problems
:14:44. > :14:47.facing the world is to unlock the power of technology to create new
:14:48. > :14:53.products and companies to do business. The government is
:14:54. > :14:56.investing a total of ?26 million year, Mr Freeman told the audience
:14:57. > :15:01.that it is now one of the most important scientific clusters in
:15:02. > :15:04.Europe. We punch above their weight globally and it is a great
:15:05. > :15:12.opportunity to work in this environment. 14 miles west the
:15:13. > :15:16.region's labours new MP Richard Hart was shown ambitious plans for a
:15:17. > :15:19.multi`million pound science Park, it will look to attract world leading
:15:20. > :15:26.companies in the field of so`called big data. Big money, big ideas and
:15:27. > :15:28.big words. Those leading the charge to say that research in this region
:15:29. > :15:32.will transform the 21st`century. The Opening Ceremony
:15:33. > :15:34.of the Commonwealth Games will burst into life in just over an hour
:15:35. > :15:36.in Glasgow. Athletes from
:15:37. > :15:38.our region will be taking part. So,
:15:39. > :15:40.after months and months of training Our sports reporter Tom Williams
:15:41. > :15:46.has just sent this from Glasgow. We have been here a couple of days,
:15:47. > :15:49.Glasgow was busy yesterday, it is positively bursting
:15:50. > :15:52.at the seams today as we build`up Not long to go,
:15:53. > :15:57.it kicks off at 20:14 this evening, that is 14
:15:58. > :16:00.minutes past eight o'clock. That is the preshow, and the main
:16:01. > :16:05.ceremony starts at nine o'clock. Look who I have bumped into,
:16:06. > :16:08.our very own Gail! Look at it, bathing in sunshine, it
:16:09. > :16:13.is absolutely glorious, isn't it? I am so excited about the next
:16:14. > :16:18.week and a half, I can't wait. We will hear more from a very
:16:19. > :16:21.excited Gail shortly, it is your All of the athleteswhile are here,
:16:22. > :16:28.most of them stay in the athletes village, and we have
:16:29. > :16:31.been taking a sneaky look A spectacular Scottish welcome
:16:32. > :16:35.for Team England, After all, these are billed
:16:36. > :16:45.as the ?friendly games?. The village is filling up ,
:16:46. > :16:47.71 nations familiarising themselves When we got here it was
:16:48. > :17:01.a bit sparse, but now it is getting more occupied
:17:02. > :17:04.so the atmosphere is growing. The boys have got their house
:17:05. > :17:06.together and have been playing cards a lot and the girls have
:17:07. > :17:09.been painting each other's nails! I have done read with an England
:17:10. > :17:13.flag and everyone is all the same so I think we were all up till ten
:17:14. > :17:15.o'clock waiting The hub of the

:17:37. > :17:43.over 400 athletes and there has been a huge investment in sports science,
:17:44. > :17:46.physio and recovery requirement. The athletes are moving towards
:17:47. > :17:52.the limits of human performance, we try to eke out these marginal
:17:53. > :17:56.gains we talk about. This type of area is what delivers
:17:57. > :18:00.that and we can move people from off the podium onto the podium
:18:01. > :18:03.but importantly we can move them 4,500 athletes are here,

:18:15. > :18:21.of the River Clyde with Gail. You have been in the athletes
:18:22. > :18:24.village, what is it like in there? It is incredible, it is a bit like
:18:25. > :18:27.a university halls of residence. That is the best
:18:28. > :18:29.and easiest way to describe it. It is not glamorous ,
:18:30. > :18:33.it is not a 5`star hotel luxury You have made the Commonwealth Games
:18:34. > :18:40.pretty much your own, I only did two Commonwealth Games,
:18:41. > :18:47.Manchester was my first and I definitely learned
:18:48. > :18:50.a lot to take it into Athens, Enjoy your media role over
:18:51. > :18:56.the next few weeks. We have very high hopes for some
:18:57. > :18:59.medals of course, Jonathan Parks is 11 days , 17 sports and 43 from our

:20:32. > :20:38.heartbreak in London, there will be a big return to the javelin from our
:20:39. > :20:44.region. And on day six we have the three metre single. On day seven,
:20:45. > :20:49.cycle time. Alex Dowson from Essex missed out on the tour and with no

:21:40. > :21:42.of a house in this region is ?273,000, an increase of 20,000
:21:43. > :21:44.on this time last year. For a lot less than that you could
:21:45. > :21:48.buy your very own pier in Suffolk. The Victorian pier is at Shotley
:21:49. > :21:50.on the River Stour. It's bursting with history
:21:51. > :21:53.but it does require a lot of TLC. Kevin Burch has been
:21:54. > :21:57.for a look round. We bought the pier two years ago,
:21:58. > :22:00.from a gentleman down Ian Newman presently has
:22:01. > :22:07.the keys to what is known as the Bristol Pier at Shotley, but he?s
:22:08. > :22:10.decided to sell because he says his firm, an award`winning development
:22:11. > :22:13.company, has other projects on There have been no offers so far
:22:14. > :22:21.but it is early days, so who could be in the market to take on this 600
:22:22. > :22:24.foot long Victorian landmark? It could really be open to
:22:25. > :22:30.a wide variety of people. It could be anyone from a very keen
:22:31. > :22:34.fisherman who wants his own private pier where he can be 600 foot off
:22:35. > :22:37.the shore or it could be, probably And then again it might be
:22:38. > :22:41.a conservation group who want to come along
:22:42. > :22:47.and wish to restore it and keep it for the local people but we are
:22:48. > :22:51.interested to see who comes along. The pier was built in 1894
:22:52. > :22:54.as a landing stage for a ferry, formerly owned by the Marquise
:22:55. > :22:57.of Bristol, a link still noted in It once served the old HMS Ganges

:23:04. > :23:05.on won?t simply need vision, Sadly,
:23:06. > :23:11.this has fallen into disrepair. But then again, and then there's
:23:12. > :23:19.the agent would tell you... It has to be sensitive but again it
:23:20. > :23:25.has to be realistic, it has to have That is probably why
:23:26. > :23:29.nothing has happened. Two locals, Jo and Claire,
:23:30. > :23:33.happened to be passing as we were filming , heading off
:23:34. > :23:36.for their daily swim in the river. What do they think
:23:37. > :23:39.about possible redevelopment? If it is not too commercialised,
:23:40. > :23:42.if it was back the way it used to be for barges
:23:43. > :23:48.and things in the old days. In the long run I suppose I
:23:49. > :23:51.think it is better to do Because if that disappears, you
:23:52. > :23:57.think, it will get very boring here. This morning,
:23:58. > :24:00.the big question as Jo and Claire showed no hesitation in taking
:24:01. > :24:02.the plunge is who would dip their Ian Newman says,
:24:03. > :24:06.perhaps not surprisingly, that it is Kevin Burch,

:24:27. > :24:29.breaking news the Bury Saint Edmunds MP David roughly has broken his
:24:30. > :24:33.silence about an assault he has committed on a former partner, he
:24:34. > :24:38.says he has apologised and she has accepted. Let's speak to a local
:24:39. > :24:44.member of the party. Is this enough to save them? I am very pleased to
:24:45. > :24:50.hear that something has been set. It has been a very long time. This is
:24:51. > :24:53.what we have been waiting for and thank goodness something is going
:24:54. > :24:56.forward. We now need to realise there is just the seriousness of the
:24:57. > :25:04.problem and for many of us we believe that he should not continue
:25:05. > :25:07.at his position, it is untenable. You would agree with the Police and
:25:08. > :25:14.Crime Commissioners, such behaviour is inexcusable whoever you are? This
:25:15. > :25:19.is a very serious matter, and it cannot be condoned in any way at all
:25:20. > :25:23.particularly by a leader of the constituency, the member of
:25:24. > :25:30.Parliament and the silence for all these months has been crazy. He
:25:31. > :25:34.should go. I know that you know him reasonably well, your message to him
:25:35. > :25:41.this evening? Stand down or Eagle sack you? Stand down with grace and
:25:42. > :25:45.we will see thank you for what you have done. You have worked well and
:25:46. > :25:51.hard for 17 years but what has happened now is not something that
:25:52. > :25:53.is acceptable, now or in the future. Thank you very much. Then for the
:25:54. > :26:03.weather. It has been a glorious day. The
:26:04. > :26:08.sunshine has been raked across the region. The cloud is gone from
:26:09. > :26:10.yesterday with long spells of sunshine this afternoon.
:26:11. > :26:15.Temperatures up to 27 and 28 degrees. On the coast it was a few
:26:16. > :26:21.degrees lower from places like Essex and Norfolk. There were long spells
:26:22. > :26:24.of sunshine and a dry day. There will be long clear spells overnight
:26:25. > :26:29.and there could be patchy cloud coming and going with mist patches
:26:30. > :26:36.into the early hours of the model. Temperatures anywhere between 14 and
:26:37. > :26:40.17 degrees. The wind will ease overnight with a much lighter
:26:41. > :26:44.pleased by the end of the night. It will pick up by tomorrow, which will
:26:45. > :26:48.be a rather warm and sunny day. There will be a long spells of
:26:49. > :26:51.sunshine, the breeze once more picks up and that will mean truly
:26:52. > :26:58.temperatures on the course. Further inland that will be welcome, the
:26:59. > :27:04.breeze, like it was today. We could record 27 or 28 degrees. Possibly
:27:05. > :27:08.lower for Essex and Suffolk. It stays fine with one spells of
:27:09. > :27:12.sunshine for the afternoon. Looking ahead there are some subtle changes
:27:13. > :27:18.on the way, a cold front is sleeping through for Saturday and cool, fresh
:27:19. > :27:22.air. But we have high pressure behind that will keep things
:27:23. > :27:26.relatively settled. As for the next few days, increasing cloud into the
:27:27. > :27:31.afternoon could produce an isolated shower, and there is still the risk
:27:32. > :27:33.introduced for Sunday and introduced for Sunday and
:27:34. > :27:37.temperatures getting cooler into the mid`20s.
:27:38. > :27:39.Thank you very much. That's all for now. Goodbye.
