:00:00. > :00:16.Failings in care, leadership and patient safety -
:00:17. > :00:21.the damning report on the health of Lincolnshire's hospitals.

:00:37. > :00:51.on a floating stage as part And a bit of brightness today but we
:00:52. > :00:52.had an funny bit of a change overnight. The forecast from myself
:00:53. > :01:00.shortly. A catalogue of failings in care,
:01:01. > :01:03.leadership and safety means government experts are again
:01:04. > :01:05.going into Lincolnshire's hospitals Four years after inspectors
:01:06. > :01:12.first placed the trust responsible in special measures
:01:13. > :01:20.they are back in again. Bosses have apologised and said
:01:21. > :01:23.things are already improving. I'll be speaking to the man
:01:24. > :01:25.in charge shortly, but first our health correspondent
:01:26. > :01:27.Vicky Johnson is here. This is not a good report
:01:28. > :01:31.for hospital managers? This is another damning report
:01:32. > :01:34.whichever way you look at it - showing a catalogue of failings
:01:35. > :01:36.almost across the board Unsafe, poorly led by managers
:01:37. > :01:42.and 'inadequate' are the fundamental A failure to refer cancer patients
:01:43. > :01:48.to treatment on time. Thousands of outpatients
:01:49. > :01:52.appointments long overdue - And A services at both Lincoln
:01:53. > :02:00.and Boston rated as inadequate. When inspectors went on their rounds
:02:01. > :02:02.in Lincolnshire's hospitals last autumn they found much
:02:03. > :02:18.to criticise, including Some of the patient care that we saw
:02:19. > :02:23.wasn't of the required standard, so for example, we saw some patients
:02:24. > :02:27.that were not treated with compassion, we are dignity and
:02:28. > :02:29.respect was compromised. We also found some concerns in the emergency
:02:30. > :02:31.department. This is the latest in a series
:02:32. > :02:33.of poor inspections. Four years ago it was put
:02:34. > :02:36.into special measures Two years later it was taken
:02:37. > :02:39.out of special measures Last October, inspectors
:02:40. > :02:45.found more failings. have enough staff in Lincoln's A
:02:46. > :02:49.and declared a "critical incident" And now confirmation that experts
:02:50. > :03:05.have again been asked to step in. The sea QC report has made for
:03:06. > :03:08.difficult reading for many. In particular, patients not receiving
:03:09. > :03:12.medication on time when they are seriously ill as a big worry and
:03:13. > :03:17.they think it is something that has been going on for some time. As a
:03:18. > :03:22.doctor reading that report I was concerned by a number of aspects and
:03:23. > :03:26.fully understand why special measures are required. That has been
:03:27. > :03:29.the right decision but equally I would reassure the public that the
:03:30. > :03:34.vast majority are receiving very good care.
:03:35. > :03:36.The trust has always had problems recruiting enough staff.
:03:37. > :03:38.Last year it spent more than ?26 million on agency
:03:39. > :03:42.Managers fear their reputation as a failing trust could make
:03:43. > :03:53.To be absolutely honest, that is my biggest year. I would sincerely ask
:03:54. > :03:58.people not to be discouraged for this. They can come on secondment
:03:59. > :04:00.and temporary contracts, detest us out. I think they will find we are
:04:01. > :04:04.such a good team. The hospital teams certainly face
:04:05. > :04:07.a testing few months as they battle to raise standards and come out
:04:08. > :04:09.of special measures. A lot of the criticisms are broad -
:04:10. > :04:12.poor leadership, staff bullying Inspectors looked at how often
:04:13. > :04:17.people with bed sores But they found three patients who'd
:04:18. > :04:27.waited between three and almost eight and a half hours
:04:28. > :04:34.for their checks. The fourth patient had no record of
:04:35. > :04:36.being checked at all. Staff told inspectors
:04:37. > :04:38.they didn't have the time. But if there's no time
:04:39. > :04:40.for these basic tasks - then that's very telling
:04:41. > :04:51.about the organisation as a whole. We will be asking for your views on
:04:52. > :04:52.your experiences at hospitals in Lincolnshire in just a moment.
:04:53. > :04:55.Earlier, I spoke to the chief executive of the United
:04:56. > :05:01.I asked him whether he accepted the report wasn't good enough.
:05:02. > :05:03.We are very disappointed with this but of course,
:05:04. > :05:12.as ever in these reports, lots of examples of good practice.
:05:13. > :05:17.We recognise a number of scores, 12% are not adequate
:05:18. > :05:23.If half are rated good, half are rated not good,
:05:24. > :05:26.and if patients are not treated with dignity, low staff
:05:27. > :05:28.satisfaction, overall the trust is inadequate.
:05:29. > :05:30.Why should the people of Lincolnshire feel safe?
:05:31. > :05:34.Nothing in the report says we are not safe.
:05:35. > :05:40.What it identifies is a number of things that need to be put right.
:05:41. > :05:45.When the CQC came in October that while a number of actions
:05:46. > :05:49.we put immediately in place and we think if they came back today
:05:50. > :05:56.they would see many of those issues already resolved.
:05:57. > :05:58.Some of those things are long standing and one
:05:59. > :06:01.of the questions is recruitment and the the reconfiguration
:06:02. > :06:03.Those will take some time to resolve.
:06:04. > :06:06.The trust keeps blaming staff shortages but the inspectors found
:06:07. > :06:08.staffing was in line with the national average
:06:09. > :06:13.The reality is while the overall numbers may be comparable
:06:14. > :06:15.to larger hospitals, if you can imagine the ease
:06:16. > :06:18.with which Nottingham can have all staff in one place,
:06:19. > :06:20.we don't have that luxury in Lincolnshire, so those same
:06:21. > :06:23.numbers of staff have to be spread relatively thinly across our
:06:24. > :06:40.They also find hospitals are not properly equipped to deal with major
:06:41. > :06:42.incidents with equipment out of date and not working.
:06:43. > :06:54.Is that not basic Janet and John stuff you're not getting right?
:06:55. > :06:56.I think at the time there were simple wrrors not
:06:57. > :07:00.being addressed and it was more about administration.
:07:01. > :07:05.Just to reassure you and others listening we carry out exercises
:07:06. > :07:09.and we are rated highly so we are very ready for any major
:07:10. > :07:12.How long until you are out of special measures?
:07:13. > :07:16.The CQC came last October but it is not down to us.
:07:17. > :07:18.We look forward to demonstrating the improvements we have made.
:07:19. > :07:27.Very good to talk to you and we will follow the story.
:07:28. > :07:33.What's been your experience of hospitals in Lincolnshire?
:07:34. > :07:36.Do you agree with the inspectors that the hospitals are inadequate?
:07:37. > :07:38.Perhaps you work there - what do you make of
:07:39. > :08:04.What does the trust me to do to improve? The address is there.
:08:05. > :08:09.Some of your experiences. That's before we finish at seven p.m..
:08:10. > :08:11.People living in the small village of Lutton in South Lincolnshire have
:08:12. > :08:14.been paying tribute to local school teacher and church
:08:15. > :08:19.She had been reported missing two weeks ago.
:08:20. > :08:22.It's believed her body was found along with that of her husband's
:08:23. > :08:25.The couple have not yet been formally identified.
:08:26. > :08:35.This small Lincolnshire village has been left in shock by the discovery
:08:36. > :08:37.of two bodies at this house down a quite country lane
:08:38. > :08:43.It's a pleasant village and it's just so quiet here,
:08:44. > :08:46.for something like this to happen to a family is just unbelievable.
:08:47. > :08:50.One of the bodies is believed to be that of teacher Bernice Williams
:08:51. > :08:56.who went missing more than two weeks ago.
:08:57. > :08:59.It is understood she lived here but the bodies of a man
:09:00. > :09:03.and woman were only found at the weekend.
:09:04. > :09:06.It is believed the other body is that of her husband, Lawrence.
:09:07. > :09:09.Linda Harding knew Bernice and her family from services here.
:09:10. > :09:15.Anybody who knew Bernice or knew the family will be very sad.
:09:16. > :09:23.She just was a very genuine, quiet, sweet lady.
:09:24. > :09:32.As a family, they came out as a family and supported one
:09:33. > :09:46.People I have spoken to here today have told me they hadn't seen Bernie
:09:47. > :09:48.or her husband in the village for some time.
:09:49. > :09:50.Police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection
:09:51. > :09:53.with the enquiry but tonight there are still more
:09:54. > :09:55.questions than answers as to what actually happened.
:09:56. > :10:08.When will police say more about what happened here?
:10:09. > :10:14.We expect formal identification of the bodies found here to take place
:10:15. > :10:20.later this week and then we should now a few more details about exactly
:10:21. > :10:23.what happened. Luckily, it is believed the bodies are that of
:10:24. > :10:29.Bernice Williams and her husband Laurence. All day, there has been a
:10:30. > :10:36.lot of police activity and that is continuing tonight as the police
:10:37. > :10:39.investigation continues. Thank you. More than 30 firefighters are
:10:40. > :10:42.dealing with a large woodland fire in Lincolnshire.
:10:43. > :10:46.They've been called to Laughton Woods.
:10:47. > :10:48.It is not thought anyone has been hurt.
:10:49. > :10:51.Nearly 100 council workers in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
:10:52. > :10:56.The Taxpayers Alliance Town Hall Rich List shows 95 senior workers
:10:57. > :10:58.in our area are earning six figures a year.
:10:59. > :11:00.Lincolnshire County Council has the most high paid workers.
:11:01. > :11:02.However overall councils are employing fewer people on a six
:11:03. > :11:12.Pollution along a major road in Hull is higher than the safe limit
:11:13. > :11:16.Figures show the concentration of pollutants on Castle Street has
:11:17. > :11:23.increased by more than 20% in the past year.
:11:24. > :11:25.Police in Lincolnshire are warning people who try to lie to get
:11:26. > :11:28.out of speeding tickets that they will be caught out.
:11:29. > :11:31.It comes after a man was been jailed for six months for perverting
:11:32. > :11:35.Four years ago, Rashall-ul-Hassan could have gone on a speed awareness
:11:36. > :11:38.course if he'd admitted going at 38 miles per hour in a 30
:11:39. > :11:42.Instead he tried to deceive the police and has ended up in jail.
:11:43. > :12:00.It is not the most dramatic footage of a speeding offence but then this
:12:01. > :12:09.wasn't one of the most serious speeding offences. It is street let,
:12:10. > :12:12.it is a 30 mph limit and any residential area. At eight miles per
:12:13. > :12:19.hour over the limit, the driver Rashall-ul-Hassan could have taken a
:12:20. > :12:22.speed awareness course or a ?100 fine, but four years later after
:12:23. > :12:27.trying to deny it was him at the wheel he has been jailed for six
:12:28. > :12:35.months. That was a simple traffic violation. If he paid the fine I had
:12:36. > :12:39.taken the course this would have gone away, but unfortunately he went
:12:40. > :12:45.down this route and because of that he has been imprisoned and for the
:12:46. > :12:54.rest of his life he will have a criminal record. It was just January
:12:55. > :13:00.23rd 2013 when he broke the speed limit on this road. After giving a
:13:01. > :13:04.false name and trying to deny it was him at the wheel, he was found
:13:05. > :13:07.guilty and fined but then he complained to the central ticket
:13:08. > :13:12.office and it was then investigation that found he lied all along. He
:13:13. > :13:18.faced a much more serious charge of perverting the course of justice.
:13:19. > :13:23.And that carries a much greater penalty as former Cabinet member
:13:24. > :13:26.Chris Hughton found in 2013 when he was jailed for the same offence
:13:27. > :13:33.after his wife at the time claimed she was driving to accept penalty
:13:34. > :13:37.points so he could avoid a band. Today, a strong message in
:13:38. > :13:41.Lincolnshire. If you have committed an offence is the easiest option is
:13:42. > :13:48.to just admit it and get it behind you and move on with your life and
:13:49. > :13:58.don't do something, that means you have two then tell moralise and
:13:59. > :13:59.could end up in prison. Thank you for watching as always, still ahead.
:14:00. > :14:01.The Lincolnshire driver who's going to take part in one
:14:02. > :14:03.of the most famous races in the world.
:14:04. > :14:05.The spectacular performance on a floating stage that's one
:14:06. > :14:26.of the City of Culture's most ambitious shows.
:14:27. > :14:34.Tonight's photograph is taken by Simon Wright. Thank you for that,
:14:35. > :14:48.Simon, who will have a another photo tomorrow. Owain is here, and he is
:14:49. > :14:50.wearing aquamarine, I am informed. I also have a Yuletide, what do you
:14:51. > :15:14.think of that? I am going to tease you with some
:15:15. > :15:21.good weather news, and we will see some more of that sunshine tomorrow.
:15:22. > :15:26.Tonight, not a bad end to the day. A couple of spots of rain, a few
:15:27. > :15:32.showers, blows of around eight or nine Celsius, and it will be breezy
:15:33. > :15:35.if not blustery at times. There will be wind over the next couple of
:15:36. > :15:49.days. Here are the times of high water tomorrow. Tomorrow is not too
:15:50. > :15:56.bad, some rain, particularly further in land, but then it will brighten
:15:57. > :16:00.up, we will see a little bit more in terms of sunshine or at least break
:16:01. > :16:06.spells. There is room for improvement and tomorrow's whether
:16:07. > :16:14.story. From the Humber, looking at around 13 Celsius, and a similar
:16:15. > :16:18.story in land, but again those winds are a feature. Where has that
:16:19. > :16:25.weather of last weekend gone, I hear you cry? It is not going to make a
:16:26. > :16:31.visit this Easter weekend. A bridge of high pressure to the south, a
:16:32. > :16:36.couple of weather fronts coming our way, but generally speaking, thanks
:16:37. > :16:40.to that area of high pressure, the weather story is mostly dry and
:16:41. > :16:45.settled. Watch out for the winds, but I think we will see some
:16:46. > :16:50.sunshine, you know. You frightened as a little bit when you run
:16:51. > :16:52.forwards to show as your tie, but you have teased many in the past, I
:16:53. > :16:57.am sure. Thank you very much. A care home near Goole
:16:58. > :17:00.in East Yorkshire is to close, 13 people live at Hook Hall,
:17:01. > :17:03.which is the fourth care home in the East Riding to close
:17:04. > :17:06.in the past 12 months. It comes as it is revealed more
:17:07. > :17:09.than 90 social care workers quit their jobs every day
:17:10. > :17:15.in Yorkshire and the Humber. Kate Sweeting is in
:17:16. > :17:30.Hook Hall this evening. As you can see, this is a beautiful
:17:31. > :17:32.building, and the loss of this care home has been described as a major
:17:33. > :17:42.loss to this area. It has a good reputation locally,
:17:43. > :17:46.and the 13 residents currently living here will have two move
:17:47. > :17:50.elsewhere, which will have an impact on them. The owners have told me
:17:51. > :17:56.today, that they cannot afford to continue. They cannot recruit enough
:17:57. > :18:01.staff who can be flexible for the amount of money they can pay them,
:18:02. > :18:06.and they do not get enough funding from the local authority to fund the
:18:07. > :18:11.complex needs that there are residents have. One local councillor
:18:12. > :18:23.said this. They are very undervalued, the work pays low, and
:18:24. > :18:27.they can have far better terms of employment for the same money in
:18:28. > :18:34.supermarkets. Many people had a lot of choice about when and where they
:18:35. > :18:49.work. Town-mac has an 82% employment rate, and many people choose to work
:18:50. > :18:53.in more flexible jobs. Goole has an 82% rate. This recruitment problem
:18:54. > :19:05.is a national one, having an impact on local businesses like this one.
:19:06. > :19:11.How to refund this industry, and how do we keep hold of the staff? We
:19:12. > :19:15.will have more on this story, I will be talking to a cure home-worker
:19:16. > :19:19.tonight at 10:30pm. Thanks to everyone who got in touch
:19:20. > :19:22.about car parking after we told you East Lindsey Council
:19:23. > :19:24.was to scrap free Not surprisingly, a big response on
:19:25. > :20:03.that story. Thank you for those. Puffins are continuing to thrive
:20:04. > :20:06.on the East Yorkshire coast despite a huge decline of the birds
:20:07. > :20:08.across the world. It's believed a shortage
:20:09. > :20:10.of food has affected birds in Iceland and Norway,
:20:11. > :20:13.but a recent survey of the birds at Bempton Cliffs suggests numbers
:20:14. > :20:15.here have remained stable What we are seeing right now
:20:16. > :20:18.is that there seems to be enough sand eels to support the population
:20:19. > :20:20.that we have here, but we are finding that
:20:21. > :20:23.in other places around the world, that is simply not happening any
:20:24. > :20:25.more because of climate change,
:20:26. > :20:27.so the warmer waters mean That has not happened in
:20:28. > :20:31.the North Sea yet, but that does not mean it could not
:20:32. > :20:39.happen in the future. A Lincolnshire racing driver
:20:40. > :20:42.will take part in one of the biggest Jack Harvey, who's from Bassingham
:20:43. > :20:46.near Lincoln, will race in the world It is a long way from the karting
:20:47. > :20:51.tracks of Lincolnshire, which he started racing
:20:52. > :20:53.on as a schoolboy. We have been following
:20:54. > :20:59.the career of Jack Harvey ever since he became
:21:00. > :21:02.the youngest junior British karting
:21:03. > :21:04.champion in 2006, at just 13 years I am about an inch away from sitting
:21:05. > :21:12.on the floor, and when you are going down the straight,
:21:13. > :21:15.everything passes you so fast. At 14, he won the European Italian
:21:16. > :21:18.Masters Karting Championships and At 16, he moved up
:21:19. > :21:24.to junior motor racing with Formula BMW, and by 17,
:21:25. > :21:30.was leading in the championships. At 19, he became the
:21:31. > :21:33.new British Formula 3 champion, a title previously
:21:34. > :21:48.held by Nelson Piquet, and at 21, landed
:21:49. > :21:50.place in the United States Indie Lights series, something else
:21:51. > :21:54.But now, just 11 years on from all of this, he has
:21:55. > :21:56.the chance to drive in the prestigious
:21:57. > :21:58.Indy 500 at the Indianapolis Speedway.
:21:59. > :22:11.It is the biggest race in America, with average speeds of over 230 mph.
:22:12. > :22:16.To be in the Indy 500 is not an opportunity that a lot of people
:22:17. > :22:26.have, and node to go and be a part of it, I do not have the words to
:22:27. > :22:31.explain. -- now I am a part of it, I cannot explain what that means. At
:22:32. > :22:39.his home, walls of medals are a reminder of what it has taken to get
:22:40. > :22:43.this far. From the early days of karting, he has been so focused and
:22:44. > :22:47.so dedicated, and he knows that every step he takes, he goes faster
:22:48. > :22:54.and faster, and he smiles a bit, because I know he is thinking, just
:22:55. > :23:04.support me, Mum. I have to be so dedicated, and that is what mums do.
:23:05. > :23:10.To go there and see him doing it, I am proud. A bucket list moment. Yes.
:23:11. > :23:14.The race will take place at the beginning of May.
:23:15. > :23:17.It's about what happens when the end of the world approaches, and is one
:23:18. > :23:19.of City of Culture's most ambitious events.
:23:20. > :23:21.Flood is a year-long show played out on TV,
:23:22. > :23:27.And tonight is the first of those live events,
:23:28. > :23:31.in the middle of an old dock on a housing development in Hull.
:23:32. > :23:36.Here's our culture correspondent, Anne-Marie Tasker.
:23:37. > :23:40.I can't put one step in front of the next.
:23:41. > :23:43.It's a story set in the future - asking how we'd cope if Europe
