10/01/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Welcome to the late Look North, the headlines tonight.

The government is warned it must properly fund care homes as ANOTHER

A complete change of environment is going to have a

I'm not even certain if she would survive that.

This man was brutally attacked on a night out -

now drinkers in Hull are told they can't be trusted

I had a white T-shirt on at the time, it was absolutely

covered, and I just you know, I just couldn't believe it.

There is a risk of deals in some places. I will be back with the

weather run the programme. -- gales. Care homes will continue to shut

down unless they are properly That is the warning tonight

as ANOTHER of our homes says Families of people at

Molescroft Court near Beverley have It's the fifth home in our area

to announce it's closing The owners blame underfunding

and higher wages. Care homes are supposed

to look after people - but they're struggling

to look after themselves. Today the announcement ANOTHER one

in our area will close. Twice a week Chris Walsh makes

the short drive to Molescroft Court to see her Mum who has advanced

alzeihmers - by March 85-year-old Mabs will have to be

looked after elsewhere - news her family says

is distressing... If it gets close to the date when

they want to close she will end up in and care and there are some

pretty bad ones out there. I don't think she has much longer to live.

Any tension has got left I want to be comfortable. I'm -- any time she

has got left. 23 other residents

will also be affected - Roseberry Care Centres which owns

the care home in Beverley says the buildings aren't fit for purpose

and the business is losing money. Research carried out by the BBC last

year found that more than a quarter of care homes in the UK

are in danger of going out of business within three years -

it found 5000 homes could close because they carry too much debt

and don't make enough profit to cover loan repayments -

on average care homes make just over 'S thought some residents and staff

may be transferred to a new care home currently being

built in Beverley - may be transferred

to a new care home currently being built in Beverley -

but Chris argues this I can't check it out because it is

not in existence yet. The story of Mabs having

to leave the place she lives is not an usual one -

and it's a situation other families are likely to face as care homes

struggle to provide care whilst Mike Padgham runs a care

home in Scarborough. Earlier I asked him why so many care

homes are closing or in trouble. It's the amount of money that people

can afford to pay for care and that is based on the money available to

local authorities. Today two thirds of the cost of a care home goes on

staff wages so you can see things are being and staff working in care

homes need to be paid more than the minimum national wage some people in

care have higher needs so that adds extra pressure. Has the living wage

shaken the foundations of care homes? I think it has. We have been

saying that it is a challenge for us. That is not to say staff don't

deserve the living wage but basically local authorities and what

they can afford have not kept up with fit and successive governments

have failed to address social care properly. Something needs to happen

because it adds excess strain on the NHS. You could say that care homes

in the past that had cheap labour and gotten away with it. It is no

doubt that a lot of providers could doubt that a lot of providers could

have paid more. The vast majority want to pay a rewarding salary to

the workers because as time has gone on people in care homes now are much

higher dependent than they used to be so the issue is to help the NHS

and help people in social care. Care and help people in social care. Care

homes need to pay more to do that. But they have not been rewarding

them, they have been playing Lord wages. -- they have been paying low

wages. I think care homes are willing to pay more but are

struggling to make ends meet out because there is no doubt care homes

are closing because they cannot provide the services that the state

requires. What would you say to the social care Minister? I would like

him to come and see what it is like trying to provide care in the front

line and see the real issues facing us. We want to pay staff more and

provide a good service and raise standards but need some help.

The family of a man knocked down and left to die on the side

of a Lincolnshire road have appealed for the driver responsible to come

Chase Tate was walking on the A1104 near Alford early

on Saturday morning when he was hit by a vehicle that didn't stop.

This morning police were checking verges in the area looking for clues

that would help them identify the vehicle involved.

We're doing a lot of work with CCTV looking to narrow the vehicles

between vehicles that tour this they passed along the road and the final

vehicle that reported him lying in the road to us.

50 men and women who guard the doors at city centre pubs

and clubs in Hull are calling for late night venues to ban

They claim there has been an increase in

There are graphic pictures of injuries from the start of this

15 stitches, bruises on his face, nerve damage and a permanent scar.

That's what Iain Spivey was left after he was glassed on a night out

I had a white T-shirt on at the time, it was absolutely

covered, and I just you know, I just couldn't believe it.

I didn't really know what had happened.

He's a model, and his injury's made it difficult

Some people think it's only a little scar, but you hear stories of people

getting hit in the head, and sometimes it proves fatal.

On a Friday night people come here to have a drink that these drinks

often come in glass bottles. That is why one group was to see them

banned. A bottle is basically

a baton, which is a weapon. If we stop them from taking knives

and guns into a venue, why do we let them go to the bar

and pick up a bottle, drink out of it, and then it can be

used in exactly the same way. Police say it is rare that people

are hit with glasses, At this bar they say they don't have

problems with glassing. On a Friday night people come

here because it's hard to find plastic

versions of some glasses and it's It is a shame to punish

such a large number use these glasses properly because

of a small minority of people. Humberside Police agrees that glass

attacks are very rare in Hull - but over the past eight years it's

been handing out plastic cups There is a risk of

deals in some places. I think that the police need to do

more and venues need to do more and ultimately we might look at

sanctions but we're a long way from that.

Ultimately whether we'll see fewer glasses in the city centre,

depends on the behaviour of those holding them.
