:04:28. > :04:32.and more than eighty-four thousand Stuart Ratcliffe has
:04:33. > :04:46.been to the hospital 2pm on a Friday afternoon, what is a
:04:47. > :04:53.situation like today? Three empty beds which will be filled shortly,
:04:54. > :04:58.an additional 20 or so definite discharges and a further ten
:04:59. > :05:05.potentials. I have 50 patients in ANA, ten of which definitely need
:05:06. > :05:11.beds. With pressures building, it is the obvious first port of call.
:05:12. > :05:17.Still on red. We flipping a bay to create capacity for the male
:05:18. > :05:21.patients. She manages 526 beds in this hospital and it is a constant
:05:22. > :05:28.juggling act. A new ward with 20 beds is due to open next month. It
:05:29. > :05:32.is part of a multi-million rebuild but with Milton Keynes population
:05:33. > :05:36.booming, will it be enough? We believe the building programmes we
:05:37. > :05:42.have here, the significant investments we are making will allow
:05:43. > :05:48.us to cope with demand. As it stands, do you think the NHS model
:05:49. > :05:51.is sustainable in the future? I absolutely believe it is. The values
:05:52. > :05:58.that drive the NHS, the staff that work here, the level of care, the
:05:59. > :06:02.quality of care is still without question one of the best if not the
:06:03. > :06:07.best in the world. The chief executive also admits the winter
:06:08. > :06:13.pressures means this hospital and the wider NHS are coping but only
:06:14. > :06:15.just. Back on the wards, that means the search for beds and the juggling
:06:16. > :06:18.of resources continues. Events have been taking place
:06:19. > :06:21.across the world today to remember the millions of victims

:06:29. > :06:47.around 100 came to live Hello, overnight some clear spells
:06:48. > :06:52.but cloud, too. Further outbreaks of light and patchy rain. Not as cold
:06:53. > :06:56.as last night, temperatures no lower than two or three Celsius. Tomorrow,
:06:57. > :07:00.we start cloudy, further outbreaks of rain at times but not as cold as
:07:01. > :07:07.the last couple of days. Temperatures up to seven or 8
:07:08. > :07:12.degrees. We may see the cloud break before the day is done in parts to
:07:13. > :07:16.allow late sunshine and brightness but the most diverse it would be a
:07:17. > :07:21.cloudy day from start to finish. In a moment, Helen with the national
:07:22. > :07:26.forecast. Sunday, another cloudy day, uncertainty as to how far north
:07:27. > :07:27.the rain will spread, Monday is try with drizzle and more rain on
:07:28. > :07:43.Tuesday. Good evening. Not many would argue
:07:44. > :07:47.that January hasn't been dry, but today, many of us had our first
:07:48. > :07:51.significant rain for some time, because the transition is on from
:07:52. > :07:56.cold, Continental dry air to milder Atlantic air, but the transition is
:07:57. > :08:00.a slow one. So we have had ice today, and freezing fog, in northern
:08:01. > :08:04.England. We had a little sunshine as well in Norfolk, but we still have
:08:05. > :08:10.the cold air around and about in the north. All this rain you can see,
:08:11. > :08:12.which is giving is a wet day in some areas, 10-15 millimetres of rain has
:08:13. > :08:17.fallen, as it comes north there could be some winter it issues. Snow
:08:18. > :08:22.already falling over Scotland, possibly over northern England,
:08:23. > :08:26.possibly some sleet over lower areas and fog. Not particularly nice, and
:08:27. > :08:31.some icy conditions to contend with late in the night across Northern
:08:32. > :08:35.Ireland, as the rain clears away. Again, a word of warning there could
:08:36. > :08:37.be some ice around in the morning if you are heading out, in fact this
:08:38. > :08:39.evening and overnight.
