:00:14. > :00:26.Vulnerable communities in the middle of nowhere have been hit time and

:00:56. > :01:11.themselves as they really are - Some rain on the way later tomorrow
:01:12. > :01:12.but the promise of a lovely weekend to come. Join me for the very
:01:13. > :01:22.latest. Within the last two hours
:01:23. > :01:23.it's been confirmed that the Minor Injuries Unit
:01:24. > :01:26.in Hornsea is to close and those in Withernsea
:01:27. > :01:30.and Driffield will be downgraded. It means that people living
:01:31. > :01:34.in Holderness will have to travel to either Beverley or Hull
:01:35. > :01:40.for emergency medical treatment. The news has been greeted
:01:41. > :01:43.with dismay by protestors who say Our Health Correspondent Vicky
:01:44. > :02:06.Johnson was at today's meeting It seems to come down to numbers and
:02:07. > :02:11.money. We have heard that the East Riding clinical commission group is
:02:12. > :02:15.facing mounting financial pressures and is facing a multi-million pound
:02:16. > :02:20.deficit and then look at the numbers attending both the Hornsea and a
:02:21. > :02:30.word in C minor injuries units. Only ten feet a day. -- Withernsea. This
:02:31. > :02:35.makes it difficult to recruit skilled technicians. They suspected
:02:36. > :02:39.the protest would make little difference but still they came. All
:02:40. > :02:44.furious that minor injuries units are being lost or downgraded.
:02:45. > :02:48.Vulnerable communities in the middle of nowhere have been hectic time and
:02:49. > :02:52.time again by groups like this who do not care. That might have been
:02:53. > :03:00.hectic time and time again. If I cut myself badly to sit on a bus all the
:03:01. > :03:08.way to Hull is ridiculous because I would bleed. At our packed meeting
:03:09. > :03:12.board members pushed through decision to create three new Argent
:03:13. > :03:24.care serving terrace at Beverley, cool and Burlington. -- urgent care
:03:25. > :03:31.centres at Beverley, -- Goole and Beverley. They would be supported by
:03:32. > :03:37.low-level minor injury units. They will be no minor injury units for
:03:38. > :03:42.Hornsea. Managers say the figures show that there is very little
:03:43. > :03:45.demand. There are around ten individuals attending that unit and
:03:46. > :03:50.a daily basis. Half of which could have been dealt with by plant care
:03:51. > :03:55.because they were repeat visits and wound dressings. Some could also be
:03:56. > :03:59.best served by telephoning for advice before they left their own
:04:00. > :04:03.home. Many residents who turned up for today's meeting claimed that 12
:04:04. > :04:09.week public consultation period had been seriously flawed. People were
:04:10. > :04:14.led to watch something they did not really want in order to fill in a
:04:15. > :04:20.questionnaire. It is a ridiculous state to be in and that is not the
:04:21. > :04:23.consultation. The questions were loaded and we didn't stand a chance
:04:24. > :04:29.in Hornsea and I am absolutely disgusted not only with the board at
:04:30. > :04:35.my local MP. Campaigners say they are determined to fight on despite
:04:36. > :04:40.today's decision. Health managers insist they have listened to the
:04:41. > :04:43.arguments against the plans and say they will spend the next two months
:04:44. > :04:47.fine tuning all the plans so they can come up with something better
:04:48. > :04:53.for all residents concerned that as it stands of these changes could be
:04:54. > :05:04.introduced to mine it the M minor injury units and urgent care centres
:05:05. > :05:13.within the next six to mine months. We have heard protester describe it
:05:14. > :05:16.as our ludicrous decision. But how will it affect people who live
:05:17. > :05:18.there? Matthew Bone has spent the day
:05:19. > :05:21.in the resort and has Today Hornsea was bracing
:05:22. > :05:27.itself for bad news. This place has had a hospital
:05:28. > :05:30.here since 1923 credit was But today people are expecting
:05:31. > :05:34.a major part of that hospital to Even at eight in the morning people
:05:35. > :05:38.were queueing to see the doctor and those line were thinking

:05:41. > :05:42.people who have got the least resources and means of
:05:43. > :05:45.transport and the rest will suffer Just disappointment, I think,
:05:46. > :05:48.more than anything, the fact that once again Hornsea loses out
:05:49. > :05:50.on a necessary service. And inside the GP surgery
:05:51. > :05:53.there was more unease. elderly population and 30%
:05:54. > :06:13.of our outpatients are over 65 to travel to Beverley
:06:14. > :06:19.or Bridlington. This worry about the effects
:06:20. > :06:21.on all the people here is Some say it could even end up
:06:22. > :06:25.being a matter of life and In the past four years I have been
:06:26. > :06:29.rushed into hospital with blood clots and if that happened again
:06:30. > :06:33.which are probably well I don't think I'd make it to Beverley
:06:34. > :06:36.or Hull or anywhere else. So I really think that
:06:37. > :06:38.we should keep it on. And Valerie is not
:06:39. > :06:40.the only one worried. You're talking about a whole
:06:41. > :06:43.population of people who are 70, 60, The population of Hornsea
:06:44. > :06:56.is increasing drastically at a time Hornsea has a population of around
:06:57. > :06:59.8,500 and it is growing. The closure is also
:07:00. > :07:04.worrying those who As a childminder if
:07:05. > :07:08.any of the children have an accident it is
:07:09. > :07:11.long way to have to go through to Hull, Beverley, Driffield or
:07:12. > :07:15.We are talking about 16 miles there and 16 miles back.
:07:16. > :07:17.There's a lot of parents who don't have cars.

:07:32. > :07:43.I am joined by a daughter from the East Riding clinical group reject
:07:44. > :07:45.the decision today. What is your reaction to the fact that some
:07:46. > :07:55.people see the consultation period was flawed? Do you think that is
:07:56. > :07:58.correct charisma I understand that the comments we have our back
:07:59. > :08:01.regarding the consultation document that some individuals and didn't set
:08:02. > :08:07.out the options they would like to have seen in clear black and white.
:08:08. > :08:12.That is because we had done a considerable amount of work in the
:08:13. > :08:17.pre-consultation phase of a business case looking at over 80 scenarios
:08:18. > :08:22.for urgent care services across the East Riding. All that work led us on
:08:23. > :08:25.the basis of improving health care and patient no experience in
:08:26. > :08:31.deliverability and a loving quality to come up with proposals that were
:08:32. > :08:41.set out in their consultation document. What do you say to people
:08:42. > :08:51.watching in many areas particularly Hornsea? I am sincerely sorry. I
:08:52. > :08:56.have a great deal of sympathy and I understand absolutely and we have
:08:57. > :09:00.heard loud and clearly. One of the comments today was asking of the
:09:01. > :09:06.governing body are fully aware. We are fully aware of the many
:09:07. > :09:11.petitions. 25,000 people replied via petition and standard letters. The
:09:12. > :09:17.majority of those came from areas around the minor injuries units. We
:09:18. > :09:22.absolutely understand that they will be dismayed and disappointed. You
:09:23. > :09:27.are a GP and Beverley. The minor injuries unit in your town remains
:09:28. > :09:31.unaffected. Would you feel differently if you were a GP in
:09:32. > :09:38.Hornsea tonight? Yes, I think I would. I think we have a lot of work

:11:58. > :12:08.the profile of detainees here has changed -
:12:09. > :12:12.50% are now ex-prisoners and staff have suggested that this is what has
:12:13. > :12:16.made conditions less safe. But Inspectors say there's no
:12:17. > :12:18.evidence to support this, and that other centres have seen

:12:38. > :12:39.and skill of staff at Morton Hall. But their challenge now
:12:40. > :12:42.is to understand why the centre has become less safe,
:12:43. > :12:55.and halt that decline in safety. Council leaders say
:12:56. > :12:56.they have "serious concerns" about major changes planned

:13:04. > :13:05.responded, saying it's concerned the plans will not improve

:14:27. > :14:29.will ask people whether the city should join others like Lincoln
:14:30. > :14:32.in adding fluoride to tap water, This is what tooth decay looks
:14:33. > :14:37.like - and despite ongoing campaigns even now -
:14:38. > :14:39.in Hull it's a problem for more That's why today Dentists
:14:40. > :14:44.are warning that sugary drinks have seen a huge increase in baby
:14:45. > :14:46.teeth being removed. A problem across the country,
:14:47. > :14:48.but especially in Hull. It's very disturbing to see a child
:14:49. > :14:54.between one and three years That means all teeth
:14:55. > :15:08.have to be removed. Do you see many of those? Loads of

:15:20. > :15:25.Yorkshire and the Humber and 25% across all of England. One possible
:15:26. > :15:28.solution is to put fluoride in people's drinking water and some
:15:29. > :15:30.people say that is mass medication using a substance some say are
:15:31. > :15:36.toxic. Now the owners of a
:15:37. > :15:42.children's nursery in Hull are warning parents against plans
:15:43. > :15:45.to put fluoride in the city's water supplies - despite medical claims
:15:46. > :15:58.that doing so will improve dental Some people say it is safe and
:15:59. > :16:06.summit is not so. They scientific committee is divided. Adding
:16:07. > :16:08.fluoride to the water can have a huge impact on the rates of oral
:16:09. > :16:13.decay in children. Next year the ruling Labour
:16:14. > :16:15.group on Hull City Council plans to consult people
:16:16. > :16:29.about fluoridation, but there's also The targeted group, the children,

:16:46. > :16:51.Let us know what you think of this story.

:18:36. > :18:42.of sunshine and lots of blue sky on the way for the weekend. It has been
:18:43. > :18:46.very blustery today. I was forming the Humber and it was wild but the
:18:47. > :18:50.wind is easing a better now. A few showers looks set to track across
:18:51. > :18:55.western parts of Lincolnshire. They will fizzle out to the movies. It
:18:56. > :19:00.looks set to be fine men with clear periods. Later tonight a short spell
:19:01. > :19:06.of patchy rain mainly for North West Lincolnshire into more western parts
:19:07. > :19:09.of the East Yorkshire. We will see temperatures two or three degrees so

:19:35. > :19:37.miserable through the afternoon and into the early part of tomorrow
:19:38. > :19:42.evening. Let's look at the top temperatures. I think it will feel

:20:38. > :20:41.Earlier I spoke to Rosie Millard who is the Chair
:20:42. > :20:45.of City of Culture and asked her how Hull is now viewed by the rest
:20:46. > :20:53.I think it is taken very seriously as a tourist destination and I think
:20:54. > :20:56.that has been the evidence is the fact that Hull trains has had
:20:57. > :20:59.a 17% uplift in ticket sales and the city
:21:00. > :21:04.Restaurants and cafes in Hull in have had huge
:21:05. > :21:18.I think that all the evidence shows that more people have visited the
:21:19. > :21:22.Ferens Art Gallery in the time it has been open since the middle of
:21:23. > :21:31.January till now than visited entire last year. If we get the cruise
:21:32. > :21:34.terminal built by the Deep how do we stop those people getting straight
:21:35. > :21:42.honour goes to go to the deal go to your? I don't think they will
:21:43. > :21:45.because of the City of Culture. People now want to go to the Ferens
:21:46. > :21:51.and want to go to the Deep and want to go and experience the artwork at
:21:52. > :21:55.the bottom of Humber Street and go to the art gallery. You have said
:21:56. > :22:02.the key is to keep it special and ensure that Hull doesn't blend into
:22:03. > :22:09.something akin to this British city centres. How do we ensure that this
:22:10. > :22:16.matter? I have always thought that Hull was very different to other
:22:17. > :22:18.cities. When I came to Hull as a young woman at university I was
:22:19. > :22:23.astonished by an array of shops had never heard before and other things
:22:24. > :22:25.and I think it's geographical isolation pays in its favour to make
:22:26. > :22:29.it seem very different from other cities which tend to be perhaps
:22:30. > :22:36.slight carbon copies of each other. I think Hull needs to hang onto
:22:37. > :22:44.Steffens and celebrators deference. It all seems very good news at the
:22:45. > :22:53.moment. -- I think whole needs to celebrators deference -- I think

:22:56. > :23:06.deference. -- difference. Thanks to everyone who got
:23:07. > :23:08.in touch after we told you about Hull City Council's latest
