:00:00. > :00:07.In the programme tonight: The threat to a pioneering scheme easing
:00:08. > :00:14.the pressures on A by keeping elderly people out of hospital.
:00:15. > :00:20.We will do our best to cope with what has happened but I really,
:00:21. > :00:23.really don't think it is indeed best interest of in Hertfordshire.
:00:24. > :00:26.The man accused of killing Royston writer Helen Bailey says kidnappers

:00:35. > :00:37.And I'm here inside shed one at Cardington, looking at the future of
:00:38. > :00:44.the airship industry. First tonight the row over health
:00:45. > :00:48.funding in Hertfordshire. The county council is reporting
:00:49. > :00:50.part of the local NHS to the Health Secretary after it
:00:51. > :00:53.pulled millions of pounds out of a fund designed, in part,
:00:54. > :00:57.to stop bed-blocking. It comes as latest figures show that
:00:58. > :01:00.in our part of the region in December patients spent nearly
:01:01. > :01:04.15,000 days in hospital beds Our political reporter Tom Barton
:01:05. > :01:09.has been looking at the figures. The picture of delayed
:01:10. > :01:14.transfers of care, better known as bed-blocking,
:01:15. > :01:16.is very mixed across our So in the best-performing areas,
:01:17. > :01:27.Luton and Central Bedfordshire, last year for every 100,000 people,
:01:28. > :01:29.on average five beds But in Northamptonshire the figure
:01:30. > :01:34.was five times bigger. 25 beds each day were being used by
:01:35. > :01:39.someone who didn't need to be there. In Cambridgeshire and
:01:40. > :01:42.Hertfordshire it was a little I've been taking a look at one
:01:43. > :01:47.scheme in Hertfordshire where they're taking action
:01:48. > :01:52.to improve that figure. Myra Stephenson has been
:01:53. > :01:56.in St Catherine's Nursing Home in Letchworth Garden City
:01:57. > :01:58.for three weeks. She came here straight from hospital
:01:59. > :02:03.and she much prefers it. It's just like a hotel and whatever
:02:04. > :02:10.you would want, it's there. And the nurses are individuals
:02:11. > :02:19.and you're an individual. Myra is benefiting from the scheme
:02:20. > :02:26.which sees the local NHS and Hertfordshire County Council
:02:27. > :02:31.working together and It's paying for exercise classes
:02:32. > :02:36.like this, which have led to a massive drop in the number
:02:37. > :02:39.of falls, stopping unnecessary It is also helping to get people out
:02:40. > :02:45.of hospital more quickly. Hertfordshire have just started
:02:46. > :02:48.using this red bag as a way of making the process of leaving
:02:49. > :02:52.hospital run as It has got everything in it that
:02:53. > :03:17.you need to go home, so it is a change of clothes,
:03:18. > :03:17.it has got your medication and it The project also has
:03:18. > :03:18.a trusted assessor, working in the Lister Hospital on behalf
:03:19. > :03:18.of the Hertfordshire Care Home Association,
:03:19. > :03:18.helping to get people out of hospital as soon
:03:19. > :03:18.as they are ready. We have had a 45% reduction
:03:19. > :03:20.in hospital admittances since we've In terms of the trusted assessor,
:03:21. > :03:26.she has now saved, I think it is, 305 bed days in six months,
:03:27. > :03:30.so that means that we have made The Herts Valley Clinical
:03:31. > :03:43.Commissioning Group has just taken ?8.5 million out of the shared fund
:03:44. > :03:49.that pays for schemes like this. Very few parts of the NHS
:03:50. > :03:55.are making such payments. Yesterday a council committee
:03:56. > :03:59.decided to ask the Health Secretary I strongly believe that patients
:04:00. > :04:04.will suffer because while we can absorb some of the impact
:04:05. > :04:07.of that funding reduction within the service, and we will be
:04:08. > :04:13.able to resolve some of it, the magnitude of ?8.5 million just
:04:14. > :04:17.being taken out five weeks before we set our budgets is,
:04:18. > :04:21.it makes it almost For now though Myra and others
:04:22. > :04:27.like her are benefiting from a system that is really helping
:04:28. > :04:29.to stop unnecessary So that's the situation
:04:30. > :04:37.in Hertfordshire. But, as we saw earlier,
:04:38. > :04:40.the worst performing area In December 2010 patients spent
:04:41. > :04:48.1,500 more days in hospital beds The latest figures published today,
:04:49. > :04:52.for December last year, show that figure is now
:04:53. > :04:55.more than 5,000. Part of the reason,
:04:56. > :04:57.according to the county's care home association,
:04:58. > :04:59.is that many homes won't work with the council because it
:05:00. > :05:05.doesn't pay them enough. The impact is that we cannot provide
:05:06. > :05:08.the service that we need They don't pay a sufficient amount
:05:09. > :05:14.of money per week per resident. We are reaching, in
:05:15. > :05:18.effect, a tipping point. We have said to them that they need
:05:19. > :05:21.to increase their funds, they need to increase them rapidly
:05:22. > :05:24.to prevent further homes from shutting and prevent
:05:25. > :05:30.bed-blocking to the local hospitals. Northamptonshire County Council says
:05:31. > :05:32.it's giving care home operators more And is planning to invest an extra
:05:33. > :05:39.?1.7 million in the next year. And more investment is likely
:05:40. > :05:42.to be needed because this In 2008 there were 970,000 people
:05:43. > :05:50.over 65 in the East of England. And it's only going to get bigger,
:05:51. > :06:01.raising questions over how we look And later in the programme we'll be
:06:02. > :06:07.in one of the region's hospitals to see how they try and deal

:17:52. > :17:58.and the exchange rate and I learned and the exchange rate and I learned
:17:59. > :18:04.how big the world was. Their schools took a DM view. The local council
:18:05. > :18:10.took action. Matt and Ceri Thomas refused to pay the ?120 fine so it
:18:11. > :18:16.was doubled. They still refuse to pay and so today both sides faced
:18:17. > :18:20.each other in court. I know what is best for my children not someone
:18:21. > :18:25.sitting in a courthouse or behind a desk. I know what is best and the
:18:26. > :18:30.best thing for them was to have the experience of a foreign holiday.
:18:31. > :18:35.Matt is pinning his hopes on the case of another father who won his
:18:36. > :18:40.case at the High Court. He took his daughter to Florida and faced a
:18:41. > :18:45.and now Supreme Court judges will and now Supreme Court judges will
:18:46. > :18:49.decide if he has to pay. I don't think there is an issue, as long as
:18:50. > :18:53.they catch up with their work and make sure that is not affected.
:18:54. > :18:58.Maybe when they were younger, maybe not so much when they are older
:18:59. > :19:04.because of exams. I don't agree with it. They are therefore education.
:19:05. > :19:07.The county council told us it is Headteachers themselves who decide
:19:08. > :19:17.whether or not to take action... Aside from the lower cost of
:19:18. > :19:22.holidays during term time, there are those like this family who thought
:19:23. > :19:26.their rights as parents are being undermined, but the government is
:19:27. > :19:31.clear, even a few days away from school can affect exam results and
:19:32. > :19:36.have a detrimental effect on a child's's education. That is the
:19:37. > :19:47.only holiday we have ever been on as a holiday. But we took it on term
:19:48. > :19:49.time which is against the law. The family will be back here for a full
:19:50. > :19:51.trial next month. I'm sure most of us remember
:19:52. > :19:54.the case of the wheelchair user who took his local bus company
:19:55. > :19:56.to the supreme court, after a dispute with a woman
:19:57. > :19:59.with a child in a buggy over He won the case, but now something
:20:00. > :20:06.similar has happened in Essex. Nicki Price has cerebral

:20:10. > :20:15.taking up the space for a wheelchair and the mothers refused
:20:16. > :20:27.to move them. Nicky Price on her way to the bus
:20:28. > :20:35.stop. She says using a bus must be a basic right. Unfortunately they are
:20:36. > :20:39.not very reliable. They are always missing buses out which makes the
:20:40. > :20:44.enough is bus overcrowded. And when Nicky try to get on a first bus
:20:45. > :20:50.recently, there were two pushchairs in the space for the wheelchair. The
:20:51. > :20:55.drivers ask the mother to fall they pushed us up, they both said no and
:20:56. > :21:02.Nicky could not get on. I was devastated. I was upset, angry. I
:21:03. > :21:08.was worried about my child which was my main thought at the time, which
:21:09. > :21:14.was I must get to my child, to pick her up. But I felt like a second
:21:15. > :21:20.class citizen. And it came despite Doug Pauley's recent victory in the
:21:21. > :21:25.Supreme Court. He could not get onto a bus when a mother with a pushchair
:21:26. > :21:31.refused to move. The judges ruled they should do more to accommodate
:21:32. > :21:36.wheelchair users. Nicky Price says the ruling has not made any
:21:37. > :21:41.difference. She dreads being left stranded at a bus stop. I am
:21:42. > :21:50.vulnerable, left out in the cold, alone. Where does it... What if
:21:51. > :21:52.something happens? I feel scared to use the buses. In a statement, first
:21:53. > :22:09.said: Nicky Price see the fore says she
:22:10. > :22:13.has received overwhelming support over what she feels is a continuing
:22:14. > :22:15.injustice against wheelchair users. You may well know that hidden away
:22:16. > :22:18.in a giant hangar in Bedfordshire is the longest aircraft
:22:19. > :22:20.in the world. It's called the Airlander and it's
:22:21. > :22:23.a cross between an airship and a conventional plane.
:22:24. > :22:26.Last summer, everybody got very excited when it
:22:27. > :22:28.made its maiden flight. Then, a few days later,
:22:29. > :22:31.there was a crash landing. Now after months of repair work, it
:22:32. > :22:49.could be back in the air very soon. Airlander in the skies above
:22:50. > :22:54.Cardington. One of many maiden flights. Its second test flight
:22:55. > :22:58.ended in this, and undignified nosedive on landing. The state of
:22:59. > :23:05.the cockpit shown it could have been worse. I have been given special
:23:06. > :23:10.access inside shed one. To find out how the air lender is recovering.
:23:11. > :23:14.The cockpit now being rebuilt, those at the controls that they are
:23:15. > :23:19.unharmed. There was a loud noise when we hit the ground. Pretty soon
:23:20. > :23:23.we realise that most of the damage was superficial. We were fine and a
:23:24. > :23:29.chilly got top and walked off the flight deck. Are you looking forward
:23:30. > :23:34.to going back up? We are all excited. There was frustration we
:23:35. > :23:38.had to stop flying to repair the aircraft, but we know we have made
:23:39. > :23:45.loads of changes to our training and we will come back much stronger.
:23:46. > :23:47.This shed is 100 years old, built for the original airships with its
:23:48. > :23:52.own climate, far colder than own climate, far colder than
:23:53. > :23:56.outside. A century ago, nearby shorts town was built to house the
:23:57. > :24:00.workers and now the apprentices once again being recruited from the same
:24:01. > :24:08.area. It is amazing to follow in their footsteps and a revolutionary
:24:09. > :24:11.aircraft like this is amazing. It's a great feeling, a great atmosphere,
:24:12. > :24:18.everyone grew up around here so knows the history. If it hadn't been
:24:19. > :24:24.for a heavy landing, the Airlander would have had extra flying time but
:24:25. > :24:28.backers remain optimistic. Details confidential but they include a high
:24:29. > :24:33.profile investor from the middle east and it is hoped Airlander will
:24:34. > :24:38.return to the skies very soon. Come March time, we should leave the hang
:24:39. > :24:46.out again for our 2017 flight test programme. Then we will work with
:24:47. > :24:51.customers, working up to some longer trips into Asia, North America. This
:24:52. > :24:53.is the latest chapter in airship history as the industry celebrates
:24:54. > :25:07.its 100th year here. Handsome. Very impressive. Now the
:25:08. > :25:12.weather. Colder firmly establish across the British Isles. Bitterly
:25:13. > :25:19.cold for at least 48 hours and there have been some snow flurries. These
:25:20. > :25:29.photographs define some. Evidence of snow on the windscreen. You can see
:25:30. > :25:34.a little bit of snow there on what looks like a table. Most of us saw
:25:35. > :25:39.leaden skies today and with the temperature and the bitterly cold
:25:40. > :25:45.wind, it has not felt pleasant. There will be the risk of further
:25:46. > :25:50.snow showers over the next 24 hours. High-pressure, huge area of high
:25:51. > :25:56.pressure across Scandinavia and that is blocking these Atlantic weather
:25:57. > :26:03.systems coming in. Colder air across us over the last 24 hours. These
:26:04. > :26:06.showers will continue this evening. Mainly for coastal parts, but as
:26:07. > :26:13.that north-easterly wind freshens, they could move further inland, so
:26:14. > :26:17.the chance you may wake up to a dusting of snow tomorrow morning,
:26:18. > :26:25.particularly if you live in eastern counties. A few degrees below
:26:26. > :26:30.freezing. Tomorrow's weather, not a lot changing but we have this
:26:31. > :26:35.feature coming in from the north sea and there will be more depth to the
:26:36. > :26:40.cloud tomorrow, so any showers will be heavier. The risk of those
:26:41. > :26:46.showers through the day, a lot of dry weather but no evidence of
:26:47. > :26:49.sunshine. Temperatures once more similar to today, two or three
:26:50. > :26:53.degrees. Factor in that degrees. Factor in that
:26:54. > :26:58.north-easterly wind, it will be bitterly cold. Snow showers could
:26:59. > :27:04.move further west so as we go into Friday evening, a greater risk of
:27:05. > :27:08.getting a dusting of snow and further across western counties as
:27:09. > :27:14.well. Certainly looking very wintry over the next few days. There are
:27:15. > :27:18.changes into next week. Low pressure moving up from the south and that
:27:19. > :27:23.will change things. Slightly less cold air for the weekend, but we
:27:24. > :27:29.still have the north-easterly wind so it will feel the same temperature
:27:30. > :27:36.wise. But by mid week, more of a springlike feel as temperatures
:27:37. > :27:38.cover perhaps into the mid teens. Fantastic! That is all from us.
:27:39. > :27:52.Goodbye. OK, everyone, have you got
:27:53. > :27:59.your bamboo sticks? If you just paint
:28:00. > :28:01.what you want to paint, I've turned around,
:28:02. > :28:07.my painting washes away. ..and take on
:28:08. > :28:12.The Big Painting Challenge. Remember, you're not painting
:28:13. > :28:42.a pond. Before I met you,
:28:43. > :28:45.I was a civilised woman.
