21/03/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

One closed, two downgraded - anger as minor injuries units

Vulnerable communities in the middle of nowhere have been hit time and

time again by groups such as this that don't care. They have

acknowledged all the arguments and recommendations but totally ignored

them. Drugs, punch-ups and fires:

Inspectors find an increase in violence at a Lincolnshire

immigration centre. Dentists blame sugary diets for more

children losing teeth - but should fluoride

be added to water? It's very disturbing to see a child

between one and three years That means all teeth

have to be removed. The photographer letting women see

themselves as they really are - Some rain on the way later tomorrow

but the promise of a lovely weekend to come. Join me for the very

latest. Within the last two hours

it's been confirmed that the Minor Injuries Unit

in Hornsea is to close and those in Withernsea

and Driffield will be downgraded. It means that people living

in Holderness will have to travel to either Beverley or Hull

for emergency medical treatment. The news has been greeted

with dismay by protestors who say Our Health Correspondent Vicky

Johnson was at today's meeting It seems to come down to numbers and

money. We have heard that the East Riding clinical commission group is

facing mounting financial pressures and is facing a multi-million pound

deficit and then look at the numbers attending both the Hornsea and a

word in C minor injuries units. Only ten feet a day. -- Withernsea. This

makes it difficult to recruit skilled technicians. They suspected

the protest would make little difference but still they came. All

furious that minor injuries units are being lost or downgraded.

Vulnerable communities in the middle of nowhere have been hectic time and

time again by groups like this who do not care. That might have been

hectic time and time again. If I cut myself badly to sit on a bus all the

way to Hull is ridiculous because I would bleed. At our packed meeting

board members pushed through decision to create three new Argent

care serving terrace at Beverley, cool and Burlington. -- urgent care

centres at Beverley, -- Goole and Beverley. They would be supported by

low-level minor injury units. They will be no minor injury units for

Hornsea. Managers say the figures show that there is very little

demand. There are around ten individuals attending that unit and

a daily basis. Half of which could have been dealt with by plant care

because they were repeat visits and wound dressings. Some could also be

best served by telephoning for advice before they left their own

home. Many residents who turned up for today's meeting claimed that 12

week public consultation period had been seriously flawed. People were

led to watch something they did not really want in order to fill in a

questionnaire. It is a ridiculous state to be in and that is not the

consultation. The questions were loaded and we didn't stand a chance

in Hornsea and I am absolutely disgusted not only with the board at

my local MP. Campaigners say they are determined to fight on despite

today's decision. Health managers insist they have listened to the

arguments against the plans and say they will spend the next two months

fine tuning all the plans so they can come up with something better

for all residents concerned that as it stands of these changes could be

introduced to mine it the M minor injury units and urgent care centres

within the next six to mine months. We have heard protester describe it

as our ludicrous decision. But how will it affect people who live

there? Matthew Bone has spent the day

in the resort and has Today Hornsea was bracing

itself for bad news. This place has had a hospital

here since 1923 credit was But today people are expecting

a major part of that hospital to Even at eight in the morning people

were queueing to see the doctor and those line were thinking

about the town's future. It will survive but

people who have got the least resources and means of

transport and the rest will suffer Just disappointment, I think,

more than anything, the fact that once again Hornsea loses out

on a necessary service. And inside the GP surgery

there was more unease. elderly population and 30%

of our outpatients are over 65 to travel to Beverley

or Bridlington. This worry about the effects

on all the people here is Some say it could even end up

being a matter of life and In the past four years I have been

rushed into hospital with blood clots and if that happened again

which are probably well I don't think I'd make it to Beverley

or Hull or anywhere else. So I really think that

we should keep it on. And Valerie is not

the only one worried. You're talking about a whole

population of people who are 70, 60, The population of Hornsea

is increasing drastically at a time Hornsea has a population of around

8,500 and it is growing. The closure is also

worrying those who As a childminder if

any of the children have an accident it is

long way to have to go through to Hull, Beverley, Driffield or

We are talking about 16 miles there and 16 miles back.

There's a lot of parents who don't have cars.

They are relying to the public transport and the public

transport runs hourly so we're going to be

the unit is expected to close its doors sometime

People here say they have not given up the fight but they are

I am joined by a daughter from the East Riding clinical group reject

the decision today. What is your reaction to the fact that some

people see the consultation period was flawed? Do you think that is

correct charisma I understand that the comments we have our back

regarding the consultation document that some individuals and didn't set

out the options they would like to have seen in clear black and white.

That is because we had done a considerable amount of work in the

pre-consultation phase of a business case looking at over 80 scenarios

for urgent care services across the East Riding. All that work led us on

the basis of improving health care and patient no experience in

deliverability and a loving quality to come up with proposals that were

set out in their consultation document. What do you say to people

watching in many areas particularly Hornsea? I am sincerely sorry. I

have a great deal of sympathy and I understand absolutely and we have

heard loud and clearly. One of the comments today was asking of the

governing body are fully aware. We are fully aware of the many

petitions. 25,000 people replied via petition and standard letters. The

majority of those came from areas around the minor injuries units. We

absolutely understand that they will be dismayed and disappointed. You

are a GP and Beverley. The minor injuries unit in your town remains

unaffected. Would you feel differently if you were a GP in

Hornsea tonight? Yes, I think I would. I think we have a lot of work

to do to build the sustainability to whatever cyst ever see is there are

then the committee. -- what ever services are in the community. The

more urgent services will be taken to an urgent care centre and a

numberless. More minor level injury units could be dealt with in a

different way by advice and guidance and perhaps buy something that could

be provided by the GP. Some of the minor injury concerns and more game

each other could wait until an appointment could be made for them.

Drug taking an arson were also a problem.

Inspectors found a 'significant decline' in safety at Morton Hall

near Lincoln with a rising number of assaults and drug use.

Jake Zuckerman reports. are already being taken

In the past Morton Hall has been the scene of protests and unrest

When inspectors made an unannounced visit last November they found

problems with drug abuse, increased levels of violence,

Levels of violence got up and particularly concerning for me

levels of self harm had gone up by three times since we last inspected

in 2013. There is real concern about trying to understand what is driving

the violence and what is causing it. Until 2011, Morton Hall was a prison

- and with it's high fences and razor wire it

still looks like one. They're either waiting

for a decision on their asylum Many have been here a long

time leading to high Inspectors say the centre

is generally well run, and is working well to prepare

detainees for removal or release, but since the last time they visited

there has been a significant 38% of detainees say

they feel unsafe. In the previous six month,

there had been 38 assaults by one detainee on another,

and 11 on staff. And 16 incidents in which detainees

had started fires in Since the last inspection,

the profile of detainees here has changed -

50% are now ex-prisoners and staff have suggested that this is what has

made conditions less safe. But Inspectors say there's no

evidence to support this, and that other centres have seen

similar changes in population In a statement

the Home Office said:- "Strategies to reduce incidents

of violence and self-harm, and to reduce use of psychoactive

substances are already in place and will be kept

under constant review... Inspectors praised the commitment

and skill of staff at Morton Hall. But their challenge now

is to understand why the centre has become less safe,

and halt that decline in safety. Council leaders say

they have "serious concerns" about major changes planned

for Lincolnshire's hospitals. As part of a five-year plan

set out by NHS bosses, Grantham's A could be downgraded

and some maternity services merged. Lincolnshire County Council has

responded, saying it's concerned the plans will not improve

services for everyone. Managers say no decisions

have been made. A man has been arrested after

a third elderly person was robbed at a house on South Street

in Morton last night. It comes a day after two other

incidents where pensioners were tied up and robbed in their homes

in the town. Police say a 30-year-old

man is now in custody. Staff from Northern Rail

will stage another day There was disruption last Monday

as workers walked out in a row over The RMT Union has announced

another day of action Northern, which runs services

from Hull, Bridlington and Lincoln, New picture released today show that

the tooth decay with and aforesaid reckoned levels. -- with the under

fours. Hull has one of the worst rates

of tooth decay for five year olds in the country,

though the numbers are improving. But next year the authorities

will ask people whether the city should join others like Lincoln

in adding fluoride to tap water, This is what tooth decay looks

like - and despite ongoing campaigns even now -

in Hull it's a problem for more That's why today Dentists

are warning that sugary drinks have seen a huge increase in baby

teeth being removed. A problem across the country,

but especially in Hull. It's very disturbing to see a child

between one and three years That means all teeth

have to be removed. Do you see many of those? Loads of

them. Current statistics suggest that by the age of 530% of children

Hull and will of its biggest tooth decay which compares with 20% across

Yorkshire and the Humber and 25% across all of England. One possible

solution is to put fluoride in people's drinking water and some

people say that is mass medication using a substance some say are

toxic. Now the owners of a

children's nursery in Hull are warning parents against plans

to put fluoride in the city's water supplies - despite medical claims

that doing so will improve dental Some people say it is safe and

summit is not so. They scientific committee is divided. Adding

fluoride to the water can have a huge impact on the rates of oral

decay in children. Next year the ruling Labour

group on Hull City Council plans to consult people

about fluoridation, but there's also The targeted group, the children,

not drinking it now. Putting fluoride in water supplies remains

for some contentious issue but Hull like others before it will have to

decide whether doing so will improve children's health.

Let us know what you think of this story.

Why are we seeing so many baby teeth being lost? Maybe you are running a

We will have some of your views matter and before we finish at seven

o'clock tonight. One of the biggest tourism

conferences here is that Hull is now being taken seriously as a

situation. The photographer helping women see themselves as they really

are helping boost self-esteem. This photo was taken

viewers. -- healing the blunt comments. - healing. -- hearing. It

looks fairly unsettled for the next 24 hours. We will bring spreading

from the south-west during the second half of tomorrow. Low

pressure in charge but the good news is through Thursday pressure builds

and Friday and the weekend in particular looks beautiful with lots

of sunshine and lots of blue sky on the way for the weekend. It has been

very blustery today. I was forming the Humber and it was wild but the

wind is easing a better now. A few showers looks set to track across

western parts of Lincolnshire. They will fizzle out to the movies. It

looks set to be fine men with clear periods. Later tonight a short spell

of patchy rain mainly for North West Lincolnshire into more western parts

of the East Yorkshire. We will see temperatures two or three degrees so

that is the chance of a touch of ground frost. So peace breeze. The

sun rises at six o'clock and your next high water time-out Hull

bright with readable cloud and some sunshine. Through the afternoon rain

will strengthen from the south-west and looks set to turn really quite

miserable through the afternoon and into the early part of tomorrow

evening. Let's look at the top temperatures. I think it will feel

quite chilly and we will see highs around 80 degrees nine Celsius. --

lots of sunshine. You do know that Bath is in Somerset and

Gloucestershire as a separate county. I was trying to build you

Hull is now being taken seriously as a tourist destination -

according to the chair of UK City of Culture.

Hull's success in attracting tourists in the first three months

of 2017 has been discussed at a major tourism

The Welcome to Yorkshire event is claimed to be the biggest

Earlier I spoke to Rosie Millard who is the Chair

of City of Culture and asked her how Hull is now viewed by the rest

I think it is taken very seriously as a tourist destination and I think

that has been the evidence is the fact that Hull trains has had

a 17% uplift in ticket sales and the city

Restaurants and cafes in Hull in have had huge

I think that all the evidence shows that more people have visited the

Ferens Art Gallery in the time it has been open since the middle of

January till now than visited entire last year. If we get the cruise

terminal built by the Deep how do we stop those people getting straight

honour goes to go to the deal go to your? I don't think they will

because of the City of Culture. People now want to go to the Ferens

and want to go to the Deep and want to go and experience the artwork at

the bottom of Humber Street and go to the art gallery. You have said

the key is to keep it special and ensure that Hull doesn't blend into

something akin to this British city centres. How do we ensure that this

matter? I have always thought that Hull was very different to other

cities. When I came to Hull as a young woman at university I was

astonished by an array of shops had never heard before and other things

and I think it's geographical isolation pays in its favour to make

it seem very different from other cities which tend to be perhaps

slight carbon copies of each other. I think Hull needs to hang onto

Steffens and celebrators deference. It all seems very good news at the

moment. -- I think whole needs to celebrators deference -- I think

Hull needs to celebrate its deference and hang on to its

deference. -- difference. Thanks to everyone who got

in touch after we told you about Hull City Council's latest

attempt to stop people fly-tipping - a problem they had

described as an epidemic. Yesterday Hull Council dumped

a weekend's worth of collected rubbish in the city centre

to highlight how much They've spent a ?0.25 million

clearing up waste like this Here are some of the e

mails, texts and tweets Alan says, ''Almost every time

you visit the local tip they treat you like a criminal especially

if you own a van, grilling you as to what you are disposing

of and sometimes turning you away Geoff from West Pinchbeck says,

''The Environment Agency and local Government with enforcement duties

have cut back their Landfill Tax is now so high

per tonne that householders says, ''If councils didn't charge

for trade waste or made it easier to tip household stuff

legally from a large van, then maybe that would

reduce fly-tipping.' 36 teams of cyclists

will compete in the Tour de The draw for the fifth

round of Rugby League's challenge cup has been made

and Hull Kingston Rovers will meet the side that replaced

them in Super League The Robins will face

Leigh Centurions. The match will be on either

the 22nd or 23rd of April. A former mental health nurse

from North East Lincolnshire is using her new career

as a photographer to help build confidence for women

with eating disorders, disabilities and mental

health problems. Jane Catlyn from Humberston says

photographs, like these, She's also photographed women

with cancer, and her local NHS is now looking at funding photo

shoots to help other patients. Just to warn you that

Victoria Holland's report does contains flash photography

from the start. Four years ago, Leanne

had her first session with Jane. She'd been through a break-up,

and after having her son, her self-confidence was so low,

she couldn't bring herself to be photographed, and she cancelled

the shoot three times. I just wasn't happy with what I saw

when I looked in the mirror. Seeing all these

images of perfection everywhere and people telling

you to be beach body ready. I was nowhere near what that

was showing so I just and during her time with the NHS

she often worked with young people Now as a professional photographer,

as well as doing paid shoots, she often finds herself being asked

to help women with a range We tend to compare ourselves

to other people, so we're looking at things like likes

when we are on social networking. Should I be looking

like somebody else? And that is the reason I think that

most people then can't centre themselves back to who they actually

are because they are aspiring to be fibromyalgia and we have

had ladies with weight So everybody is coming

for their own personal reasons. As well as photos,

the women have a chance Jane says many women are often

nervous at the beginning. Jane's photographs have been

so successful, her local NHS is considering using charitable

funding to offer photo shoots And hopefully, they can develop

confidence like Leanne. I've got flabby bits

and I haven't got a six-pack or anything that

I know think that is OK. Martin McGuinness, Northern Ireland
