Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines | :00:04. | :00:15. | |
care standards at a recent inspection. | :00:15. | :00:26. | |
From care, staffing levels, looking after medication, they are not | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
delivering the we expect. Now the Government will send in the | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
best managers to help run the worst hospitals with Lincolnshire and | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
parts of East Yorkshire being targeted. Also on tonight's | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
programme: After a car ends up in their back garden, a family calls | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
for stronger crash barriers. There is speculation all over the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
place. We speak to the party leader who's | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
refusing to rule out standing as an MP in Lincolnshire. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
The East Hull gardener who's added another award to his growing | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
collection. The weather looks set to settle | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
down. The very latest in 15 minutes. Hello. Two Lincolnshire hospitals | :01:01. | :01:12. | |
have failed to meet any national care standards. The Care Quality | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Commission visited Lincoln County and the Pilgrim in Boston after they | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
were put into special measures due to higher than expected death rates. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
Now a manager from a top performing trust in Sheffield is being brought | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
in to help managers from the United Lincolnshire Hospital Trust improve | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
its services. Caroline Bilton reports. | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
Two months ago they were told they must improve. | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
of five in Lincolnshire placed in special measures. A new daily | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
monitoring system is in place to ensure patients needs are being met. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Those working here believe it is helping to drive up standards. | :01:53. | :02:04. | |
We have seen a big difference on Dixon Ward with our standards. It | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
has given me quality assurance every day that every patient on my ward is | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
risk assessed and they are receiving the care that is needed. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Today, though, another damning report from inspectors — Lincoln | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
County Hospital and Boston's Pilgrim Hospital are failing to meet any | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
national care standards. The Trust argues it's working hard | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
to improve, but for the foreseeable future, unannounced inspections are | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
going to continue at these two hospitals. These are problems that | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
date back three years. Two years later, patients were found to be | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
dying a necessarily at Stafford Hospital. It prompted an | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
investigation called the key report, which would scrutinise all | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
hospitals. Shortly after that, it was said that things were improving | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
at Boston hospital, and it was meeting targets. That good news was | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
short lived when the Health Secretary placed United Lincolnshire | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
hospitals trust and another trust in our area in special measures. The | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
report had found serious failings at birth. Today, the quiet — — the | :03:10. | :03:19. | |
QC said the hospital trust are failing to meet standards. Unions | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
say this is affecting morale. I talked to nurses today. They feel as | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
if they are being scapegoated for the failings of management. If you | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
do not have sufficient staff, you will get a position where there will | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
be difficulties for the staff to complete all the tasks that I needed | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
to provide the highest standards of care. We have 87 new nurses starting | :03:45. | :03:59. | |
this month. We are actively pursuing international recruitment. Despite | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
the negative reports, patients today seemed happy with the care they were | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
receiving. Absolutely fabulous. Couldn't wish for a better team. | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
Farewell really friendly. — — they were really friendly. My wife just | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
had to treatment and she has been fine. No complaints. The trust | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
argues it is working hard to improve, but for the facility will | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
future, unannounced inspections will continue at least two hospitals. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Julie Walton from the Care Quality Commission. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
She told me what was wrong with the two hospitals. | :04:43. | :04:53. | |
They are basically not meeting the essential standards from care, | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
staffing levels, record—keeping, looking after medication is, they | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
are just not delivering basic standards. In April, the trust met | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
nearly all of its target. How can things have changed in such a short | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
time? There have been a lot of changes over the summer. A lot of | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
changes have been put in place. Things were looking much brighter. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Staff were not reporting things there have been. Are you confident | :05:26. | :05:35. | |
in your organisation 's credibility? The Health Secretary said the | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
organisation was fundamentally flawed when it was better. Is that | :05:37. | :05:45. | |
right? I am very confident in the findings. I am confident we have | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
applied the appropriate methodology. But are you doing more | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
harm than good? The union says staff morale is suffering. What is your | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
message say to nurses who feel constantly scrutinised? It is really | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
down to the trust to take ownership of the problem, and staff who | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
reported two was that this inspection — — and staff reported to | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
those low levels of morale. They were already know and demoralised | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
before we went in. These inspections should result in improvements that | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
will hopefully bring that morale back to the staff. Very good to talk | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
to you. Thank you very much. As well as United Lincolnshire, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
another trust described as failing in our area will get staff and | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
managers from successful hospitals to help it improve. Northern | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
Lincolnshire and Goole is still waiting to hear from the Health | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Secretary as to who they'll be paired with. Hospitals in | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
Lincolnshire will work alongside managers at Sheffield Teaching | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
Hospitals NHS Trust. The biggest single thing we can do is give them | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
a partner organisation that is successful, that has done all the | :07:09. | :07:19. | |
things they are trying to do. I think it will make a real | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
difference. We want to hear from you on this | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
story. Do you think the hospitals in Lincolnshire are getting better or | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
worse? of Humber jobs could be compromised | :07:27. | :08:02. | |
unless the Government commits to green energy. | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
A woman from Lincoln is calling on the county council to install | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
stronger crash barriers, after a car careered into her back garden. The | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
vehicle landed in an area where her young daughter had been playing only | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
hours before. Jake Zuckerman reports. Look at all the damage. | :08:19. | :08:34. | |
Lisa Cowley and her daughter, Bethany, examined the damage to the | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
back garden of their family home in Lincoln. This was the scene one | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
month ago after a car left the road, ploughing straight through crash | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
barriers. Coincidently, no—one was outside. It was a lovely sunny day | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
and myself and Bethany we were outside that morning. My husband was | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
out here, just half an hour before it happened. You know, it was | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
incredibly fortunate. Now Lisa and her husband have started a petition. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
They want the county council to install stronger barriers. I want | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
them to reinforce the roadside barrier on there. It clearly wasn't | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
fit for purpose. The vehicle came through it, it broke through into | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
the garden, quite easily. The council denies there is a problem. | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
We put barriers in where there is a track record of accidents. There is | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
no real history of accidents at this spot and the right approach is not | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
if there is an accident, we spend taxpayers money. In hotspots where | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
people are being killed, that is where I want to spend our money. | :09:35. | :09:44. | |
Lisa and Andrew say they feel it is not safe for the family to use their | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
own garden, and are determined to continue their fight until the | :09:47. | :09:55. | |
council takes notice. An investigation is taking place | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
into a bomb hoax at Lincoln Prison earlier today. Emergency services | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
were called to the jail on Greetwell Road this morning and remained there | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
for several hours. The Prison Service say there was no threat to | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
the public, staff or prisoners. Two petitions campaigning for a | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
swimming pool in Hull to remain open have been handed in to councillors. | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
Hull City Council says closing Ennerdale Pool will save £220,000 | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
and ensure that four others in the city remain open. The authority is | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
asking the public for its views on the proposal. | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
The UKIP leader Nigel Farage has admitted that a recent split in the | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
party in Lincolnshire has been damaging. Six UKIP councillors have | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
formed a breakaway group on the county council and their former | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
group leader has been thrown out of the party. In an interview for BBC | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
Look North, Mr Farage refused to rule out speculation that he might | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
stand in Boston and Skegness at the next general election. He's been | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
speaking to our political editor Tim Iredale, who's live at Westminster. | :10:56. | :11:08. | |
So what has Mr Farage had to say? Nigel Friars has been responding to | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
critics who say his party is in a bit of a mess in Lincolnshire. It | :11:13. | :11:21. | |
was confirmed that Chris Payne had been expelled from the party. He is | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
appealing, but Chris Pain is one of six councillors who have now formed | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
a breakaway group from the main audio Lincolnshire county council. | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
They are calling themselves UKIP Lincolnshire. I asked Mr Farage | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
today how much damage this than to his party. Short—term, it doesn't | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
look very good, but it is a question of how we get out of this. The other | :11:53. | :12:04. | |
counties have not suffered this. Chris Pain has gone. The other | :12:04. | :12:12. | |
councillors need to recognise the one the seats with the UKIP label. | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
We need to get reunited. They risk a vacancy when it comes to a UK | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
Parliamentary candidate in the bottom in Skegness constituency. | :12:24. | :12:34. | |
They did very well in the last elections. There has been widespread | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
speculation that Nigel Farage himself make take on sitting Tory MP | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Maxim and at the next general election. I asked in that question | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
and he said he wasn't really himself in but wasn't running himself out. | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
There are a series of constituencies around the country that look very | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
tempting for UKIP. My absolute priority is to do well at the | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
European elections next year. The UKIP at a conference gets under way | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
tomorrow here in London. One item which caught my eye on the agenda is | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
a discussion on women's rights. It involves the outspoken Godfrey | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
Bloom, who recently said women's talents were more suited to the | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
kitchen and driving a car. That will be interesting, Peter. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
We are not getting drawn into that. Thank you. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Still ahead tonight: The East Hull gardener who's been given another | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
award to add his growing collection. I am in Huddersfield to see if | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
policy can put themselves within 80 minutes of this season 's grand | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Millington Dale in the wolds taken by Ernie Howard. Fabulous picture. | :13:55. | :14:11. | |
Thank you very much for that. Good evening. Our cameraman Joe Bilton | :14:11. | :14:23. | |
has been in a pulp, and this is a sign outside the Pope. Isn't that | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
fantastic? Fabulous. Can we see that again? | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Perhaps I can see what the forecast will bring. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
More accurate than you. Can I just say our cameraman do not spend | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
Thursday 's in the pulpit. The headline for the next day. It is | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
not looking too bad. It is shaping up very nicely. High—pressure | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
starting to dominate, so it will be much brighter and there will be some | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
sunshine around. A little bump in the isobars, and it will be | :14:59. | :15:19. | |
predominantly dry. Part of Lincolnshire have ended the day on a | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
bright note. The chance of a light, drizzly shower. The wind will ease | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
and lowest temperatures will be down to nine or ten Celsius. Cloud | :15:34. | :15:57. | |
amounts will be variable. There should be further sunny spells and | :15:57. | :16:06. | |
all parts will be dry. I think it will be a pleasant day. These | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
average temperatures for the time of year. A nice weekend to follow. | :16:11. | :16:20. | |
Variable cloud, but all parts try and becoming quite warm. | :16:20. | :16:31. | |
I like the way you say, I think. I am designing a poster I will put | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
up. See you tomorrow. I don't think so. | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
OK, touche. Four day week. Thousands of jobs in green energy | :16:42. | :16:51. | |
could be created locally in the next decade. That's according to a group | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
which represents the renewables industry. But Renewables UK is | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
warning that the sector needs more support from Government if it's to | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
fully develop. Its latest report says that the UK has seen a 74% | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
increase in jobs in the sector since 2010. And those already working in | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
the industry say they've noticed a steady growth in the number of | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
opportunities. Here's Paul Murphy. 300 offshore wind technicians are | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
based in Grimsby. using the high street catamarans | :17:17. | :17:26. | |
which shuttle to and from the turbine fields of the North Sea. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
Plenty of evidence this is a growing industry. That growth is not really | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
reflected in other industries in the UK, and in Grimsby, we started off | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
with just Siemens and Centrica, and now we have more companies. | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
Renewables UK belief 70,000 green jobs could be created nationally in | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
the next year, with the humble winning the lion 's share. This | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
report warns that the government needs to give the industry more | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
support, and says that schools and colleges need to think more | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
carefully about equipping the next generation of renewables workers at | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
the right skills. Government has an energy bill. What we need is to seek | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
government has strong aspirations. A mood of uncertainty has stalled | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
projects, like the proposed Siemens factory in Hull. That does not | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
dampen the spirits at this engineering training Centre, where | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
well—paid green jobs are already a reality. We have supplied | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
apprentices to a number of companies, and we have filled in | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
some positions. opportunities to. A government | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
spokesman said they would continue working with the industry. | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
Thank you for the messages about the big rise in the number of stray dogs | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
in Yorkshire because of irresponsible breeders. We talked | :19:08. | :19:18. | |
about last night. We had there is a particular problem with status dogs, | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
who are abandoned and then are difficult to rehab. We had a big | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
response on this story. Thank you for all of those. Your ideas on the | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
best ways of reducing the number of stray dogs. | :19:31. | :19:59. | |
Many people were saying dog licences should combat. Thank you for all of | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
those. Hull FC are just two games away from | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
an appearance in the Super League Grand Final. The Black and Whites | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
are away at Huddersfield in the end of season playoffs tonight but a | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
defeat would see their season come to an end. Our sports reporter Simon | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
Clark is live at The John Smith stadium. Simon, what are there | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
chances tonight? This is a competition that has not | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
been too kind to Hull FC over the years. They only met one grand | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
final, in 2006. Their opponents Huddersfield, who may have been the | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
league leaders, lost last week, quite unexpectedly. We caught up | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
with some of the Hull FC fans making the journey here. I think they will | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
do pretty well. They have started to turn things round. I am hopeful they | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
will put on a good show. They are going to win, without a doubt. They | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
can go right through to the final. I don't know. We will take it as it | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
comes. Been very consistent. It is going to be tough. When it takes | :21:11. | :21:22. | |
all, loses, the season finishes. — — winner takes all. I cannot get tired | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
of seeing this try from last week. Gareth Ellis added a second, and | :21:28. | :21:48. | |
Hull FC are through to the big game tonight. Craig Murdock is with me. | :21:48. | :21:57. | |
What do Hull have to do? They need to get the attack in order. They | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
have been a bit ropey. They can do it tonight. They need 20 points. | :22:03. | :22:13. | |
Where will they come from? Briscoe is due a good game. They have | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
definitely got potential. Hull FC have got the players. Conditions | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
would be great, I don't think, but they can do it. It has stopped | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
raining here. You can hear how Craig describes the game on the radio. | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
Thank you, Simon. Good luck to Hull FC. | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
Hull City manager Steve Bruce says his team will have to cope with a | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
"passionate atmosphere" if they want a good result away to Newcastle this | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
weekend. The Tigers are 16th in the Premier League having drawn in this, | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
their last game against Cardiff. Bruce says his side have shown | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
positive signs heading into the match at St James' Park on Saturday. | :22:53. | :23:05. | |
We must make sure the atmosphere is handled. It is a pretty passionate | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
place to play football, so we will have two handle that. We will have | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
to be at our best. Grimsby Town have confirmed they've | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
sacked their joint manager Rob Scott for gross misconduct. Scott — who is | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
here on the right — was appointed with Paul Hurst in 2011. He's been | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
dismissed because of an incident during their recent home defeat to | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
Nuneaton Town. The club say Scott has appealed the decision but it's | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
been rejected. its players and supporters after a | :23:31. | :23:42. | |
fight on the pitch during an FA Cup game. It happened at the game | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
between Sleaford Town and Huntingdon on Saturday, and spread to fans from | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
both sides. The match was abandoned just minutes before the final | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
whistle. Huntingdon have also been charged. Both teams will now attend | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
an FA hearing next Wednesday. Dennis Shaw from East Hull has been | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
winning gardening awards for the last three decades. Today he picked | :24:04. | :24:23. | |
up his 131st accolade at the Guildhall in the city, recognising | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
his passion for gardening. On a shoestring budget and with a new | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
design every year, Dennis's colourful displays have brought him | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
a lot of attention. You Sarah Corker has been to meet him. | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
In this small corner of East Hull, Dennis Shaw has his very own slice | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
of the English Countryside. Should every plant in the garden, most of | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
them tell this story. — — most of them tell a story. | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
From bright displays to the more unusual features, this gardening | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
champion has 131 awards. It all started at school. When I was ten | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
years old, at the Maybury school, I won prizes. | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
Today, he picked up another top honour. The | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
talent and work helping other gardeners. That is fabulous. | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
He's certainly made a name for himself. We first met him on Look | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
North 20 years ago. He's also appeared on Gardeners World. But his | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
favourite tale — having lunch with the Queen. We were talking about | :25:32. | :25:41. | |
gardens. I said to her, what is your favourite colour? She said, every | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
flower is beautiful. I got the official tour today. We are looking | :25:48. | :25:56. | |
that way and that way, to see the beauty of the garden. If you ever | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
get down, walk around Europe garden, see the beauty. It works wonders. | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
So as Dennis and wife Beryl add the latest prize to the collection — the | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
next honour in his sights, the Hull in Bloom Award, he's won it 29 years | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
running — he's hoping this year's design will make it 30! | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines: The | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
Government says its reviewing whether NHS staff should be allowed | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
to wear full face veils. Two failing hospitals — Lincoln and | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
Boston — didn't meet any national care standards at a recent | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
inspection. Tomorrow's weather: | :26:34. | :26:51. | |
response on the subject of hospitals after our report and interview. | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
Daniel says, the pilgrim needs more nursing staff, not managers. CJ | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
says, the problem in our hospitals is too many managers are not enough | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
stuff on the floor, and too much paperwork. Robin says, the principal | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
problems is inadequate staffing and poor training. Suzanne said, I | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
cannot fault pilgrim hospital, I had major problems after giving birth | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
and they were fantastic. Some good news there. This is another message, | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
as an ex—NHS employee, I saw the money wasted by senior managers. | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
They cost low morale and are not bothered about the stuff of | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
patients, only their expense. Join me tomorrow lunchtime on the | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
radio if you can. Good evening. | :27:42. | :27:43. |
