car parking charges to be scrapped. The MP for Scunthorpe says high

:00:47.:01:26.

charges add to the ordeal of already ill people.

:01:27.:01:35.

But parking revenue is worth more than ?200 million to the NHS and

:01:36.:01:43.

some say the idea is unrealistic. Parking charges can make hospital

:01:44.:01:46.

visits even more stressful. This couple paid a ?2 50 for an

:01:47.:02:02.

appointment that lasted less than half an hour. The government says

:02:03.:02:23.

free and reduce parking should be available for people with

disabilities are people with gravely ill relatives. The Scunthorpe MP

:02:27.:02:49.

once charges scrapped altogether. ``wants charges

:02:50.:02:54.

When people are ill the last thing they need is money worries at that

:02:55.:03:04.

It is far better if there are not many

:03:05.:03:12.

But some patient groups say free hospital parking

:03:13.:03:17.

could be achieved but the constraints of the system will not

:03:18.:03:23.

The land is not there. The money is not there in

:03:24.:03:37.

terms of the revenue aspect from car parking. If you insist that

:03:38.:03:40.

hospitals devote what effort and space they can to car parking

:03:41.:03:42.

provision, that money is out of a single pot and will come from

:03:43.:03:45.

clinical care. It is vital that there are car

:03:46.:03:47.

parking charges. If it is going to the hospital I've not got a problem

:03:48.:03:51.

with it. You look why do we have to pay. All hospital

:03:52.:03:54.

trusts do offer concessional parking but of years charges have increased

:03:55.:03:56.

now the government has issued guidelines to all NHS organisations

:03:57.:03:59.

that free or reduced parking should be available to more people,

:04:00.:04:02.

including those with disabilities, with gravely ill relatives and staff

:04:03.:04:04.

where public transport is not available right now.

:04:05.:04:06.

Nic Dakin is continuing to lobby the government on this issue

:04:07.:04:08.

but with parking charges worth an estimated ?250 million to

:04:09.:04:11.

the NHS nationally, it's revenue that might be difficult to replace.

:04:12.:04:13.

Kate, how realistic is it to have free parking at hospitals?

:04:14.:04:16.

In short, the Department of Health says it doesn't want a law against

:04:17.:04:19.

parking charges. This is a huge revenue earner for hospitals which

:04:20.:04:22.

at a time when their budgets have been frozen, would be almost

:04:23.:04:25.

impossible to claw back. It is important to point out that all

:04:26.:04:28.

hopital trust do offer concessionary charges, so a reduced rate for

:04:29.:04:30.

disabled people for example. The government guidlines issed a

:04:31.:04:32.

disabled people for example. The government guidlines issued a

:04:33.:04:35.

fortnight ago are designed to help, but they are up to the hopital trust

:04:36.:04:38.

if they want to implement them. So if bosses think it's acceptable to

:04:39.:04:57.

charge say ?2 an hour they are perfectly allowed to do so. One

:04:58.:05:00.

possible change, the government has said it wants to see hospitals

:05:01.:05:03.

introducing pay on exit schemes for people who don't have change when

:05:04.:05:06.

they arrive, which it said would help patients and their families,

:05:44.:05:58.

praising the Hull City Manager Steve players. Hull were the busiest

:05:59.:06:05.

premier league side in the transfer window. The final signing was only

:06:06.:06:08.

made in the early hours of this morning when the FA granted a last

:06:09.:06:11.

minute extension. Crispin Rolfe was there as the deals were signed.

:06:12.:06:14.

It took a late night extension, but France star Hatem Ben Arfa said

:06:15.:06:17.

"yes" to the Tigers yesterday. As Hull City did some of the Premier

:06:18.:06:20.

League's best deadline deals. The pieces fell into place for four

:06:21.:06:23.

major new signings. First Uruguayan striker Abel Hernandez ` a club

:06:24.:06:26.

record ?!0 million for a World Cup player with seven

:06:27.:06:28.

international goals in 14 appearances. Defensive midfielder

:06:29.:06:56.

and Senegal Captain, Mo Diame, for ?3.5 million. And then two

:06:57.:06:58.

late surprises ` Southampton's Gaston Ramirez, signed on a season

:06:59.:07:01.

long loan along with Newcastle's Hatem Ben Arfa both highly rated

:07:02.:07:04.

attacking midfielders: And the credit for all this excitement seems

:07:05.:07:06.

to be going to manager Steve Bruce. A lifelong Hull City fan. I've never

:07:07.:07:14.

seen anything like it. I think they are good, yeah.

:07:15.:07:17.

I think they are going to change the team.

:07:18.:07:21.

Ramirez is coming and Ben Arfa. All the hype over the one`hour

:07:22.:07:22.

extension, it's just absolutely crazy.

:07:23.:07:24.

Earlier Senegal's captain Mo Diame also added to the craziness by

:07:25.:07:26.

signing autographs as well as for the Tigers, leaving pundits

:07:27.:07:29.

amazed by the amount of business Steve Bruce has been able to do.

:07:30.:07:31.

What he has here is people who can open the door.

:07:32.:07:35.

Ramirez hasn't really done it at Southampton but everybody knows

:07:36.:07:37.

about his ability. Ben Arfa, the same thing at Newcastle,

:07:38.:07:39.

hasn't really happened for him but on his day, absolutely unstoppable.

:07:40.:07:42.

The icing on the cake was the little bit of the maverick one

:07:43.:07:45.

in Ben Arfa, who we all know is a wonderful talent.

:07:46.:07:48.

He will bring that little bit of flair and creativity,

:07:49.:07:51.

which every team needs. Have you ever done a better day's

:07:52.:07:52.

transfer business in your career? Well, I mean, listen I with my staff

:07:53.:07:57.

and a lot of people work tirelessly behind me.

:07:58.:08:00.

I think we have done fantastic business.

:08:01.:08:03.

And that's the common consensus with players and pundits saying

:08:04.:08:05.

come with him it was a key factor. Steve Bruce is a huge factor. His

:08:06.:08:07.

personal charisma, his man management and it is what he has

:08:08.:08:10.

achieved. Players like to get to cup finals and play in Europe and that

:08:11.:08:14.

is a big factor.

:08:15.:08:16.

Overall Hull City have spent more than ?25 million

:08:17.:08:18.

in this transfer window. So ambitious, yes, but there is one

:08:19.:08:19.

headache, how to fit all their A coroner has ruled that a

:08:20.:08:22.

Lincolnshire doctor who drowned off the coast of Tenerife died

:08:23.:08:26.

accidentally. Dr Barathi Ravikumar ` who was a GP at Bracebridge Heath

:08:27.:08:29.

near Lincoln ` drowned along with Dr Uma Ramalingam in April. An inquest

:08:30.:08:32.

in Stockport heard they were caught by unexpectedly large waves while

:08:33.:08:35.

standing on rocks. A woman who suffered serious facial

Lincolnshire Council said the fall was not due to the design of the

kerb and not a defect. Hull's Ice Arena has failed to

:09:07.:09:12.

reopen as planned this evening after being closed for most of the summer.

:09:13.:09:15.

The council says there is a technical fault. The arena has been

:09:16.:09:18.

closed to fit a new cooling system Spalding in Lincolnshire has gone on

:09:19.:09:21.

trial in Thailand after he criticised working conditions in the

:09:22.:09:33.

country's Pineapple industry. Andy Hall is charged with criminal

:09:34.:09:35.

defamation because of the comments he made about the company, Natural

:09:36.:09:38.

Fruit. He faces up to seven years in jail if he's found guilty. He wants

:09:39.:09:41.

the British Government to help him. His report alleged poor conditions

:09:42.:10:02.

for workers at a company owned by Natural Fruit. If he loses his case

:10:03.:10:06.

he could spend up to seven years in prison. The intention behind the

:10:07.:10:16.

cases to silence me because I'm rude peeling what the government and

:10:17.:10:26.

industry do not want me to say. `` revealing. Today I am fighting my

lawyers so we hope he shall win the case. He is trying to protect the

migrants and the poor. I speak to him every day and he has a very

positive person. `` he is. The Foreign Office has told us they are

beautiful for a time but has no clouded back over from the

this afternoon, in particular quite thick cloud but it continues to

slowly nudge away eastwards. It looks like the cloud will come into

:14:29.:15:14.

News yesterday that bosses running three hospitals in northern

:15:15.:15:16.

Lincolnshire and Goole have been awarded pay rises of more than

:15:17.:15:18.

a year each has led to widespread criticism.

:15:19.:15:20.

unions, say they do not agree that those in charge of the Trust need to

:15:21.:15:25.

increase salaries to hold onto senior staff. Most NHS staff are

:15:26.:15:29.

We had a huge response to this story and I'm joined by the man who signed

:15:30.:15:47.

off the pay rises at Goole, Scunthorpe and Grimsby Hospitals, to

:15:48.:15:50.

put some of your questions to him. Dr Jim Whittingham, you are the

:15:51.:15:53.

chairman of the trust do you understand why these pay rises are

:15:54.:15:56.

And we knew they would be controversial. At the end of the day

:15:57.:16:12.

it is my job to look after the best interest of the trust and in our

:16:13.:16:23.

view the best interests are served by such measures. How can you

:16:24.:16:31.

justify this when your front line staff are getting 1%? Our intention

:16:32.:16:41.

has always been to move those salaries to a competitive position.

:16:42.:16:48.

Linda says if she were one of the hundreds of staff limited to 1% pay

:16:49.:16:53.

rise she would feel like a face had been robbed in the dark. We do not

:16:54.:17:00.

set to pay for the thousands of doctors and nurses who work here.

:17:01.:17:07.

Those paid rates are set nationally. You say that our murky forces and

:17:08.:17:31.

the going rate. ``market forces. If we had to go out to the marketplace

:17:32.:17:34.

and we would have to pay similar salaries to attract people. This is

:17:35.:17:43.

not a system that we invented. But it is a system that we need to play

:17:44.:17:46.

with as a foundation trust and it is extremely important that the trust

:17:47.:17:53.

is well lead. But you could have stopped this? Yes and we would have

:17:54.:18:00.

taken a different rest. I am paid by the National Health Service to look

:18:01.:18:09.

after the interests of this trust. But you have only just come out on a

:18:10.:18:12.

very torrid time in special measures. That is to the great

:18:13.:18:18.

credit of the thousands of doctors and nurses that we employ and also

:18:19.:18:21.

of great credit to the team that have led them. If you look across

:18:22.:18:27.

our performance we have come out of special measures and we are

:18:28.:18:32.

successful in terms of accident and emergency targets. I can hear some

:18:33.:18:38.

people shouting at the television. Your message would be what? Our

:18:39.:18:52.

staff are well led by an executive team that are transparent and

:18:53.:19:01.

capable. Our staff are well led and need to be well lead. Everybody is

:19:02.:19:06.

doing a fine job and will continue to do so in taking the trust

:19:07.:19:16.

forward. Thank you for and soothing those difficult questions.

:19:17.:19:31.

``answering those difficult questions.

:19:32.:19:49.

There's concern about the price and supply and fish in Grimsby, if

:19:50.:19:51.

Scotland votes to leave the UK next month. Grimsby processes about 80%

:19:52.:19:54.

of the UK's fish, and while most of it comes from Iceland and Norway,

:19:55.:19:58.

many businesses have Scottish suppliers too. Our Business

:19:59.:20:00.

Correspondent Sarah Corker has been looking at the industry's links with

:20:01.:20:02.

While the rest of Grimsby still sleep,

:20:03.:20:13.

merchants gather for the 7am auction at the UK's biggest fish market.

:20:14.:20:15.

?10...20... 30.. 40... It's a fast`paced affair.

:20:16.:20:17.

Most of the produce here usually comes from Iceland or Norway

:20:18.:20:20.

but recent bad weather has seen more Scottish fish on sale.

:20:21.:20:23.

We always like to have Scottish fish available to sell because

:20:24.:20:26.

some people prefer Scottish fish. Price is a biggest factor in the

:20:27.:20:29.

end. It varies from week to week what is

:20:30.:20:31.

available. This cod was landed yesterday in

:20:32.:20:33.

Peterhead in Scotland and transported overnight by road,

:20:34.:20:35.

arriving here at Grimsby fish market this morning.

:20:36.:20:37.

It will then be sold and end up in fish and chip shops, fish mongers

:20:38.:20:42.

and supermarkets across England. So would independence affect that

:20:43.:20:44.

supply? I think Scottish independence is

:20:45.:20:45.

wrong. Britain is better together.

:20:46.:20:50.

Aberdeen to Grimsby 15 years ago. You would end up exporting fish from

:20:51.:20:55.

Grimsby up to Scotland. What would the currency be?

:20:56.:20:59.

Likewise, a lot of fish comes down from Scotland to Grimsby

:21:00.:21:01.

and how would they work it? Grimsby is Britain's fish`processing

:21:02.:21:04.

capital with 75 businesses. Young's Seafood is the number one

:21:05.:21:06.

buyer of Scottish farmed salmon. With processing sites both sides of

:21:07.:21:09.

the border, its Grimsby factory is focusing on salmon production.

:21:10.:21:14.

While big firms like Icelandic SeaChill and supermarket

:21:15.:21:18.

chain, Morrisons, process fish brought down from Scotland.

:21:19.:21:20.

Those at the heart of the industry here believe whatever the outcome

:21:21.:21:28.

on how much fish is allowed to come from Scotland into

:21:29.:21:38.

Grimsby and Hull because all the merchants around here do bring a

:21:39.:21:40.

lot of fish down from Scotland. Of course, England itself is

:21:41.:21:43.

Scotland's biggest market for the sale of fish, so it will continue.

:21:44.:21:46.

But could Scotland choose to do more of its own fish processing?

:21:47.:21:49.

The SNP is lobbying for funding to do just that.

:21:50.:21:52.

Fishmongers in Cleethorpes shrugged off any effect that

:21:53.:22:14.

I don't think that would change if Scotland get independence, they

:22:15.:22:20.

will have their processing facilities, we will have ours.

:22:21.:22:22.

Scotland and England trade both ways, the view here is that will

to save.a railway signal box in south Lincolnshire. People in

:22:26.:22:32.

Deeping St James are angry that rail bosses are going to demolish the 150

:22:33.:22:37.

year`old building. Simon Spark reports.

:22:38.:22:49.

Tonight there is a meeting to save a piece of village yesterday. This

:22:50.:22:58.

signal box has stayed here for 166 years but now stands in the way of

:22:59.:23:06.

new equipment. But these signatories also stand in the way. This is our

:23:07.:23:14.

box and we have a lot of enthusiasm to keep this box. My husband

:23:15.:23:19.

remembers many a day helping his father out here. It has an awful lot

:23:20.:23:37.

of memory. We cannot get any dates from Network Real as to when it is

:23:38.:23:41.

being knocked down so it is quite imminent. We have three of the

:23:42.:23:49.

barriers already put up. The barrier still to go up will be in place of

:23:50.:23:56.

the signal box. Network Real and investing millions to modernise the

:23:57.:24:00.

network but despite the list Alger manually operated signal boxes are

:24:01.:24:06.

no longer required. Network Real city have listened to the concerns

:24:07.:24:12.

of the local timidity and are working to preserve as much of the

:24:13.:24:17.

box as possible but it cannot remain in its current location as the land

controversy when it was first launched in London four decades ago,

When it was first shown on stage, Jesus Christ Superstar was met with

protest ` some feeling it was offensive to the church, even

blasphemous. But how times have changed.

The musical, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is going to be performed

Tonight open auditions begin to find a chorus of hundreds for the show
