:02:05. > :02:07.Last year inspectors said Lincolnshire's main hospitals
:02:08. > :02:10.were failing to meet any national care standards.
:02:11. > :02:12.Since then, especially here in Boston, there have beenl
:02:13. > :02:18.improvements, but not enough to lift them out of special measures.
:02:19. > :02:24.We were very surprised that that's the recommendation that we wouldn't
:02:25. > :02:27.come out of special measures, and the team have really worked hard,
:02:28. > :02:34.they've worked their socks off in order to show the improvements that
:02:35. > :02:37.they can make to care. And the fact that we've come across as
:02:38. > :02:39.caring overall, as an organhsation, shows how far that journey hs.
:02:40. > :02:42.When the inspection team from the Care Quality Commission vishted the
:02:43. > :02:45.four main hospital sites, they were all found to require improvdment.

:03:24. > :03:27.has been here a week, and wd haven't had any problems. If it needs
:03:28. > :03:29.special measures, it should stay there until it gets to wherd it
:03:30. > :03:59.should be. In 2011, Fiona Allinson from the CQC insists
:04:00. > :04:09.that the trust is now getting the support it needs.
:04:10. > :04:15.They have an improvement manager and a buddy trust that will help them to
:04:16. > :04:19.make the improvements. Progress has been made in some areas. Inspectors
:04:20. > :04:22.have given the trust a good ratings are caring, and says the high
:04:23. > :04:26.dependency unit at Lincoln hs outstanding. Plus mortality rates
:04:27. > :04:31.are now within expected levdls. But patients' groups concede more time
:04:32. > :04:36.is needed to make other improvements. It can't be ttrned
:04:37. > :04:43.around in six or 12 months. It takes time. And it is important that that
:04:44. > :04:48.not only is improvement measured, but it stays improved.
:04:49. > :04:50.The inspectors will return hn six months to decide whether or not
:04:51. > :04:54.these hospitals can emerge from their special measures.
:04:55. > :04:56.Earlier I spoke to the chief executive of the
:04:57. > :04:59.United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust, Jane Lewington, I asked her why the
:05:00. > :05:10.Certainly the CQC have identified some areas where we need to make
:05:11. > :05:13.further small improvements. They have also identified a couple where
:05:14. > :05:20.we have more major work to do, and one of those is outpatients at
:05:21. > :05:24.Lincoln. Have the CQC got this right? Do you agree that yot should
:05:25. > :05:29.Dobbie in special measures? That is a difficult question to answer. What
:05:30. > :05:33.they have certainly got right is that when they started their visit,
:05:34. > :05:36.I did a presentation to thel and outline the progress we had made,
:05:37. > :05:42.and where I felt we needed to do more work. Should you still be in
:05:43. > :05:48.special measures? One of thd things you get through special measures is
:05:49. > :05:53.help all full top we have h`d support through our buddy trust at
:05:54. > :05:58.Sheffield. Why are you struggling with staff? In July last ye`r, you
:05:59. > :06:02.said you were going to sort out the staffing levels, but there hs still
:06:03. > :06:08.a problem. We have recruited 35 nurses, but we are just now leading
:06:09. > :06:17.a review of staffing in somd of ours is areas like A, paediatrhcs, and
:06:18. > :06:24.we will be moving to a new nurse template in those areas. St`ffing is
:06:25. > :06:28.a constant challenge becausd it is a national problem. There is `
:06:29. > :06:33.national shortage of nursing, and although we will continue to rely on
:06:34. > :06:38.international recruitment. @s far as patients are concerned, manx will be
:06:39. > :06:44.watching and worried. How s`fe are Lincolnshire's hospitals? On one to
:06:45. > :06:54.ten, where ten is perfectly safe, where I you? 9.5, at least. We were
:06:55. > :06:59.included in special measures because of our higher mortality, but our
:07:00. > :07:05.mortality rates are now at or below the national average, and wd are
:07:06. > :07:10.constantly monitoring. In special measures `` six months, will you be
:07:11. > :07:13.at a special measures? Our staff are confident that they will be. Thank
:07:14. > :07:17.you very much indeed. Do you work at one of the hospitals,
:07:18. > :07:22.or are you a patient? The cancer sufferer from

:09:00. > :09:02.we have that much rubbish in one If they leave it for another half
:09:03. > :09:16.a week, it will really smell. In East Hull the park gate stayed
:09:17. > :09:19.locked and this school was one of more than 60 in the area to
:09:20. > :09:22.close, prompting this reacthon. I do think they should get fair pay
:09:23. > :09:26.but I do not agree they shotld do it when the children are at school
:09:27. > :09:29.and need education. People are allowed to fight
:09:30. > :09:36.for the rights. It is a pain when you're working

:09:48. > :09:49.the National Union of Teachdrs for criticism and ministers say it
:09:50. > :09:59.is wrong for schools to close. The NUT, the only union to call a
:10:00. > :10:03.strike today, is relying on a mandate, on balance, that they had
:10:04. > :10:07.in September 2012, nearly two years ago, so they haven't consulted their
:10:08. > :10:16.members and since then on whether they actually want to go on strike.

:10:54. > :11:00.strong turnout on the picket lines, and public support for their day of
:11:01. > :11:04.action was also strong. But the big scrap the night is over the
:11:05. > :11:10.legitimacy of these strikes. The Government claims in some areas
:11:11. > :11:14.barely 20% of workers voted in favour of strike action, and
:11:15. > :11:18.ministers want tougher laws to make sure that more union members have
