Hello and welcome to the Look East late news. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Clare Panniker's the first in the country to be in charge | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
the handpainted house that took more than 40 years to decorate. | :00:09. | :00:27. | |
and another frost expected tonight with the risk of freezing fog | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
patches. I will have a full weather forecast for you later. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
It's been confirmed today three hospital trusts in Essex | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
are under the control of one chief executive. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Clare Panniker already runs the trusts in Basildon and Thurrock, | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
Mid Essex, which includes Broomfield hospital, and now she's added | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Clare Panniker is used to taking on a challenge. Over the past five | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
years, she has taken over the running of not one but two failing | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Basildon was in special messages when she became the boss in 2012. | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
Two years later, it was rated as good byt the CQC. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
inadequate and services were unsafe, but in its latest CQC report, it was | :01:21. | :01:33. | |
told health care was good. News of Clare Panniker's appointment at | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
She has been heading up a so-called success regime, | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
exploring how all three hospitals can work more efficiently together. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
We know health and care in Essex has to change. There will be concerns, | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
it is a big job being responsible for three hospitals | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
and what we could consider being the most | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
important thing is this presents an opportunity to look at whether | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
services, acute services, can be improved through that combined | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
as NHS services in Essex, like elsewhere in the region, are being | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
reorganised. What is happening generally around the country is | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
increasingly organisations working more closely together, they | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
recognise the impact on one health organisation, whether that be a | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
hospital or community group or a groups of GPs has an impact | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
makes sense to collaborate and work together to try and get the best for | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
A bit like a super head brought in to help failing schools, | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Clare Panniker is the country's first chief executive | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
It is a big job as all three hospitals are struggling | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Earlier this evening I spoke to Clare Panniker and put it to her, | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
one boss, three hospitals was just a way of saving money. | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
No, it is not all about saving money. | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
In fact, we don't think we will save huge amounts of money | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
by sharing our management in this way, because we do need to have | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
good, strong local management as well as a shared executive team | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
That said, we don't want it to cost more either, | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
but it is a way of making sure that we've built on the success we have | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
had today, of the three hospitals working together. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
This is the first time this has been done, no one has held | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
a position like this before, in charge of three | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
I mean, how big a challenge do you think this is going to be | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
It's certainly going to be a challenge, I don't | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
underestimate that at all, but it is not unprecedented. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
The difference here is we are doing it with three separate boards | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
as opposed to one board across multiple sites | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
and we deliberately chose not to go through a merger route at this | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
stage, so we could focus on delivering | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
But there will be patients and staff that may be concerned that | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
you are going to be spreading yourself too thinly. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Yes, I think that is a very understandable concern, | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
but on a day to day basis, there are people on the ground | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
who are focusing on the delivery of the operational and financial | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
This is not about me and a few people trying to do everything. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
It's about aligning the strategic direction and providing that | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
overview to make sure we make sensible decisions on behalf | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
of the three hospitals and the populations that we serve. | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
Meanwhile, the health service right across the region continues | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
It's felt across the board, from GP surgeries to 111 call | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Ian Barmer is at the Longwater ambulance station in Norfolk now. | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
Here is an example, the record-breaking demand for Ambulance | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
Services over Christmas. The control room is handled 4060 calls and | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
across the East, that is 800 calls more than last year but the | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Ambulance Service is just one part of a very big chain as Rob Lee | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Westwood ports. This morning, eight ambulances | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
were queueing outside Colchester Part of sister Emma Carter's | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
job is to find beds She does this while | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
checking on patients. Lynn was rushed in after having | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
an anaphylactic action. I felt so bad because as I came | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
of the ambulance, there were queues I just really did feel awful | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
because I could hear people crying. It has been extremely busy, | :05:48. | :06:00. | |
definitely the busiest in the five The Chief Executive says the whole | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
care system needs to work closely We have just about got | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
through without any major Unless we do that and we do it | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
urgently, what we look forward to, I think, would really worry me | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
in terms of our ability to manage. All of the hospitals in the east | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
experienced high levels In the norfolk, the NHS nonemergency | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
phone advice centre received 27,000 There does not appear to be any sign | :06:32. | :06:50. | |
of it letting up and the This morning, Dr Simon Rutland has | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
had contact with 40 patients. The pressures that colleagues | :06:55. | :07:06. | |
are flacing are enormous so we need We are changing what we do | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
but we need to make sure Back at Colchester Hospital, | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
more patients are arriving With a cold winter forecast, | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
the current pressure It's worth reiterating, we have not | :07:25. | :07:44. | |
had any severe weather yet this winter. If that happens, the | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
pressure on the GPs, A will undoubtedly crank up. | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
Next tonight, the terraced house untouched since Victorian times. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
It was owned by David Parr who inspired by | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
He spent more than 40 years of his life decorating | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
A ?600,000 grant will now ensure that it's restored and can be | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
But inside it is still very much the 1890s. | :08:08. | :08:21. | |
This house has been in the Parr family unchanged for well over | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
a century, but until recently, few people knew what treasures | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Let me show you into the drawing-room. | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
If we look over here, you can see the walls, | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
which are all hand-painted and which he painted in 1912, | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
The ceiling, which he painted in 1903, but he really did try | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
David Parr made his living decorating grand buildings | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
like stately homes and churches, but he also spent more than 40 years | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
painting his own house in a similar style. | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
If you needed to spend a penny here, even in 1893, there was no need | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
to go outside because David Parr installed this toilet, which was | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
The property is now owned by a trust and has been awarded ?625,000 | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
by the Heritage lottery fund so it can be renovated | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
There are issues here, there is damp coming through, | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
paint peeling and we wanted to stop that happening so that we can | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
It will be two years before this house is fully restored. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Visitors will then be able to get a glimpse into a world long gone. | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
Coming up now the weather with Alex, but from the rest of the late team. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Another cold night tonight, some of us already below freezing. Another | :10:03. | :10:17. | |
hazard is freezing fog patches that may linger. Across the coast, | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
staying above freezing but elsewhere, -1, miners to Celsius. | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
The high pressure that is keeping things settled will be pushed away | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
tomorrow as this weather system comes in from the West. There will | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
be some fog around first thing, but ultimately milder weather coming our | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
way for the weekend. As that weather system pushes in, increasingly | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
amounts of cloud, a cold day, four or five Celsius, and by the end of | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
the day, some and patchy rain. The outlook and it is a milder forecast | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
for the weekend but it will stay creeping up by a notch or two, 10, | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
maybe nine Celsius. Here is Louise with the national picture. | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
Won't it cold and frosty this morning? The coldest night of the | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
winter so far in England. Down to minus 8 Celsius. | :11:19. | :11:20. |
