:00:08. > :00:13.Pay up or we won't work - temporary doctors tell hospital
:00:14. > :00:17.bosses in Lincoln they cannot staff A on the cheap.
:00:18. > :00:19.Our livelihood does not appear to be their responsibility.
:00:20. > :00:21.Locums have children to look after, mortgages to pay.
:00:22. > :00:27.The hospitals could not care about that.
:00:28. > :00:29.New jobs and investment at the Scunthorpe factory that makes
:00:30. > :00:44.some of the country's most popular crisps.
:00:45. > :00:49.The rescued tigers settling into their new home
:00:50. > :00:51.This is the start of their lives properly.
:00:52. > :00:59.This is the beginning of a real era for the park.
:01:00. > :01:21.And join me for the full weekend weather outlook.
:01:22. > :01:24.Pay us more or we won't work. That is what locum doctors have told
:01:25. > :01:26.the trust which runs hospital services in Lincoln.
:01:27. > :01:28.Yesterday, the United Lincolnshire Health Trust admitted it
:01:29. > :01:30.is struggling to provide a full A service in the city.
:01:31. > :01:34.It normally relies on locum staff to fill the high number of vacant
:01:35. > :01:36.shifts, but new tax laws means these temporary workers
:01:37. > :01:38.are thousands of pounds out of pocket and many
:01:39. > :01:55.are refusing to work. Gemma Dawson has this report.
:01:56. > :01:57.The accident and emergency department here sees on average
:01:58. > :02:22.Staff are struggling to provide a full service because of a lack of
:02:23. > :02:23.doctors. It is proving very challenging.
:02:24. > :02:26.Hospital bosses are urging people to stay away unless they need
:02:27. > :02:30.That is because they are struggling to fill the staff rotas here.
:02:31. > :02:33.The associate medical director has told me that they're using staff
:02:34. > :02:36.from nearby hospitals and doctors from other departments to help out.
:02:37. > :02:39.This department is reliant on agency doctors but bosses here say
:02:40. > :02:41.the problems have been caused by a change in taxation rules
:02:42. > :02:44.because now agency doctors get to take home less money
:02:45. > :02:46.because their tax and national insurance is deducted at source.
:02:47. > :02:49.So there are less agency doctors that want to come
:02:50. > :03:05.Three point six middle grade doctors and three long-term locums. Nearly
:03:06. > :03:27.one half of the doctors come in from outside. In a statement, they said.
:03:28. > :03:35.Bosses here are urging people to stay away unless they need emergency
:03:36. > :03:41.treatment, like Ali, who injured his arm playing hockey. We were waiting
:03:42. > :03:49.a little while to get my sewing on, but that was it. Managers know they
:03:50. > :03:50.need to recruit more doctors, but even with incentives that is
:03:51. > :03:53.continuing to be a challenge. Gemma is at Lincoln County Hospital
:03:54. > :03:55.for us this evening. How quickly is this situation
:03:56. > :03:58.going to be resolved? Well, bosses here are hoping
:03:59. > :04:00.the situation will ease in the next week or
:04:01. > :04:04.soand agency doctors in the next week or
:04:05. > :04:07.so and agency doctors They have told me that people have
:04:08. > :04:11.taken notice of their warning and the A department
:04:12. > :04:13.has been a bit quieter. They are hoping that
:04:14. > :04:15.will continue over the weekend. Of course, there's added
:04:16. > :04:17.pressure here, because since last summer, Grantham's A has
:04:18. > :04:19.been closed overnight. But long term, the hospital needs
:04:20. > :04:21.to recruit more doctors One reason given is that there is no
:04:22. > :04:30.medical school locally, so there is a shortage
:04:31. > :04:43.of new doctors in the area. Earlier, I spoke to Shehnaz Somjee
:04:44. > :04:46.from the Locum Doctors' Association and asked her whether her members
:04:47. > :05:06.should get on and do their work For most of them, it is not viable
:05:07. > :05:14.to do so. The PA is a drastic cut and that coupled with the capping of
:05:15. > :05:25.fees locums for, they are not earning enough to make ends meet.
:05:26. > :05:28.But that means they have two p proper tax like everyone else. It
:05:29. > :05:33.makes them sound greedy and makes it sound as if they just do it because
:05:34. > :05:40.they can make more money. That is false propaganda. Locums have to
:05:41. > :05:48.play a lot more to be in the profession. They have to pay 20,000
:05:49. > :05:57.to ?30,000 a year. If you worked five days a week, you are ending up
:05:58. > :06:02.with ?1250 a week. They do not want to pay 40% tax on that and that is
:06:03. > :06:09.what this is about. Doctors get a lot more than that. They also get
:06:10. > :06:13.fringe benefits. Locums do not get pensions, sick pay, annual leave.
:06:14. > :06:20.They can afford to period of the early earning a lot of money. NHS
:06:21. > :06:29.eat it is unacceptable for anyone to hold the NHS to ransom by refusing
:06:30. > :06:35.to work in an effort to pay less taxation. That is a false statement.
:06:36. > :06:41.People watching tonight have to pay tax even at the top rate. There is a
:06:42. > :06:47.tax planning website for locums boasting that they can work it out
:06:48. > :06:57.so that locums take home 90% of the PA. I have not heard of that. Locums
:06:58. > :07:05.pay 40% tax. We are not tax dodgers. Why will they not work? Doctors get
:07:06. > :07:19.fringe benefits we do not. Bible renal work at a hospital where it is
:07:20. > :07:26.PAYE? What is your message to the Lincolnshire trust who are wanting
:07:27. > :07:32.people to work at the hospital at the moment? Are they prepared to pay
:07:33. > :07:38.us for our livelihood? That does not seem to be the responsibility. We
:07:39. > :07:42.have children to look after mortgages to pay. The hospitals do
:07:43. > :07:49.not seem to care about that. The EP six figure sums to managers for
:07:50. > :07:50.doing very little. We will leave it there. Thank you very much for
:07:51. > :07:51.joining us. Let us know what you
:07:52. > :07:53.think of this story. Are the locum doctors right
:07:54. > :07:55.to refuse these shifts because their tax arrangements
:07:56. > :07:57.have been changed. It means they will take home
:07:58. > :08:00.less money at the end Managers at Lincoln County Hospital
:08:01. > :08:05.have admitted that this weekend will "be a challenge".
:08:06. > :08:07.Maybe you have been in there today. What has been your experience
:08:08. > :08:10.of the care you have received? Here are the various ways
:08:11. > :08:14.you can get in touch. Here are the various ways
:08:15. > :08:33.you can get in touch. Thank you to everyone who got
:08:34. > :08:36.in touch after we told you about the Northern Lincolnshire
:08:37. > :08:38.and Goole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust going
:08:39. > :08:39.into special measures. An inspection by the Care Quality
:08:40. > :08:41.Commission highlighted "significant concerns" over
:08:42. > :08:43.urgent and emergency care, outpatients and maternity
:08:44. > :08:45.services in hospitals in Grimsby, Andy says, "Clearly,
:08:46. > :08:57.this is a prime example When are the managers going to do
:08:58. > :09:01.the proper thing and resign In the private sector,
:09:02. > :09:04.the two top managers Carole says, "Are
:09:05. > :09:06.the hospital directors and managers still on their full
:09:07. > :09:09.salary, despite being inadequate? If they get paid whether
:09:10. > :09:12.or not they perform, DG adds, "THe frontline nurses
:09:13. > :09:15.I work with are brilliant, it's the management that are just
:09:16. > :09:18.not connected with the care staff. Much of the administration side that
:09:19. > :09:21.look after nurses is just not Many concerns are just
:09:22. > :09:51.not listened to." That was formless state. We will
:09:52. > :09:56.continue to follow the story. A woman has died more
:09:57. > :09:58.than a fortnight after being hurt in a car crash near Sleaford.
:09:59. > :10:01.The 61-year-old had been driving on the A15 when she hit
:10:02. > :10:04.another car towing a caravan. It happened on March 22
:10:05. > :10:05.and Lincolnshire Police still want to hear from anyone
:10:06. > :10:12.who saw what happened. It has been announced that

:11:14. > :11:19.round-the-clock to keep up with demand. They have got new equipment
:11:20. > :11:26.and will be able to make even more, but needed people to go with it.
:11:27. > :11:30.They have been making tests here for 70 years. Thanks to a multi-million
:11:31. > :11:38.pound investment, even more crunchy snacks will be rolling off the

:13:55. > :14:03.Thank to Nick Hedges, for this photo of Beverley.
:14:04. > :14:21.Good evening. I have not taken my badge of all week. You have got one
:14:22. > :14:26.on, too. Oh, I see. I think as you may have made that. I was not
:14:27. > :14:38.wearing that. But you would if there was one. You are the only one with
:14:39. > :14:46.beer arms. Everyone has been mourning how chilly the weather has
:14:47. > :14:49.been. We absolutely got it wrong. When a seaweed, they do actually
:14:50. > :15:04.mean Paul! . We are more convinced about them we
:15:05. > :15:08.came for trust. That meet make up for the fact that things were a bit
:15:09. > :15:21.chillier than we've were expecting today. Hopefully, plenty of
:15:22. > :15:30.sunshine. Called sweep coming soon Monday. The cloud struggling to burn
:15:31. > :15:36.away. Pleasant for most of us. Into this evening and overnight,

:16:04. > :16:08.as you can see from the graphics, know very much cloud. Long spells of

:16:12. > :16:23.temperature of 18 Celsius. I would not be surprised if on
:16:24. > :16:34.Sunday, we could get up to 21 Celsius. A sharp drop in temperature
:16:35. > :16:41.on Monday. As the barbecue still on? No one mentions them. I am not

:17:37. > :17:48.Victorian times, it was a buzzing It was the Ellis Island of Britain,

:18:17. > :18:18.It is to do with the baskets the migrants carried.
:18:19. > :18:21.This artwork around the windows shows different aspects of weaving,

:18:24. > :18:26.with the journey, the railway lines, with the sea and with the places
:18:27. > :18:45.that migrants would have ended up in.
:18:46. > :18:55.It is very colourful. It is very vibrant. Really good. Good for our
:18:56. > :18:57.culture. The tone looks absolutely fantastic.
:18:58. > :19:00.The migrant platform may now be quiet but the windows are a reminder
