struggled with an Australian barrage all tour. Let's hope this guy has a | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
lot more success with his deliveries. That is all from us. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. Health officials say a | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
ground`breaking project in Hull is helping to reduce bed` blocking in | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
hospitals. Thornton Court is a sort of halfway house between hospital | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
and home, where frail and vulnerable people can learn to live | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
independently again while still receiving the care and treatment | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
they need. Our health correspondent, Vicky Johnson, has more details. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
Hello. Hello there. When Viv broke her hip, she was | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
worried she would have to stay in hospital for weeks. Instead, she's | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
been transferred to this special flat in Hull. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
There are some exercises you can do for me. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Visits from physios and occupational therapists have quickly helped Viv | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
get back on her feet. A home away from home. Gorgeous. | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
I'll be sorry to leave, really, but I do want to get home. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
One of the scheme's main aims is to reduce pressure in local hospitals | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
by discharging patients like Viv as soon as possible. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
We've worked really hard with the hospital and our local authority | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
partners to make sure we're not bed` blocking, because that is not right | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
for the individual who's sat in that bed. If you're ready to go home, if | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
you want to go home, that's the best place for you to be, and this | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
provides a sort of halfway house. Not quite home, but very homely. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
In the past, patients like Viv might have needed residential care until | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
they were fit enough to go home. But 80% of those who've used this | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
service have either needed no support or only minimal help when | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
they've left. I think it's saved money for the | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
whole system, that's health and social care, because people who have | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
used the service here have spoken positively about it. They've had a | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
chance to invite their family to see how well they're doing, use all the | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
services, physios and the other therapists. They go home with a | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
total care package. The local council and NHS say their | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
collaboration on this project has been ground`breaking. It has already | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
been so successful they plan to open another four bedsits, so that many | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
more people like Viv can benefit from the scheme. Vicky Johnson, BBC | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Look North. Lincolnshire Police has appointed a | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
new permanent Deputy Chief Constable. Keith Smy has been in the | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
role since August on a temporary basis. He's now been confirmed in | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
the position full time by Chief Constable Neil Rhodes. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
In just over an hour's time, fire`fighters across East Yorkshire | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
and Lincolnshire will stage a five`hour strike. It's the seventh | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
time since September that industrial action has been taken. It's because | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
of a row between the Fire Brigades Union and the Government over | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
pensions. People are being warned to take extra care because of the lack | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
of cover. Hull City Council say jobs and | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
services will be cut because of a large reduction in the money it gets | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
from central government. The authority says it will have to find | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
?48 million in savings over the next two years. Councillors are concerned | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
that essential services will be hit, but the government says the city | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
gets a fair deal. It's more difficult to make cuts | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
with the amount of money that is already removed, because in a sense, | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
the low`hanging fruit and the softer efficiency savings have already | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
gone. This will mean a loss of jobs. This will mean a loss of services, | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
and it's a direct result of those huge budget cuts from this coalition | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
government. Local authorities get different | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
amounts depending on where they are, what the need is. Somewhere like | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Hull actually gets more than the average in spending power, getting | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
on for ?2,200 per dwelling for the entire area. So it's already above | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
the average in terms of the money it has to spend. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Christmas Eve services will go ahead at Boston Stump tonight ` less than | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
a month after it was flooded. These were the scenes after the river | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Haven burst its bank. Organisers say temporary heaters and a sound system | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
means that they'll be able to welcome the public into the church | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
for two services this evening. Scunthorpe United have appointed | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Russ Wilcox as their new full`time manager. Wilcox had been in | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
caretaker charge since Brian Laws was sacked a month ago. Since then, | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
the Iron have won four and drawn one of their last five matches. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Time now for the weather. Hello. A decent day for Christmas | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
Day, but it is rather breezy out there at the moment. The strong | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
gusty winds, gale`force winds potentially along the coast, will | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
ease overnight. A few showers through this evening, but then it | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
will become largely dry overnight. A frosty end to the night. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Temperatures falling back to one or two degrees. There could be the odd | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
icy patch into Christmas Day. Christmas Day itself looks like a | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
very pleasant day. Dry and bright. Spells of sunshine. Most places will | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
stay dry. The breeze will be lighter than it has been today. But it will | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
be chilly ` six or seven degrees the high. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
That's all. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable Christmas Day. Look | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
North is back on Boxing Day. it from us - we are back on Boxing | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
Day at One o'clock. Merry Christmas. Hello. The weather has been a little | :05:03. | :05:15. | |
kinder today to travellers and last-minute Christmas shoppers | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
across England and Wales. Not as bad as we feared across Northern | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Ireland. We have a warning out across parts of Scott and for that | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
strong wind through this evening. Up to 80 miles an hour across the far | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
north of Scotland | :05:35. | :05:35. |
