Investigations are continuing into the cause of a fatal

:00:14.:00:16.

Emergency services were called to Derwent Street off

:00:17.:00:22.

Carholme Road in the early hours of yesterday morning.

:00:23.:00:24.

Two occupants of the house managed to escape the building but the body

:00:25.:00:27.

A Lincolnshire council is calling on the Government to offer extra

:00:28.:00:36.

money to GPs who come to work in rural areas, where it's hard

:00:37.:00:39.

In Gainsborough in particular, surgeries have been struggling

:00:40.:00:42.

to replace doctors who've left or retired.

:00:43.:00:44.

When it comes to treating illness, GPs are in the front line.

:00:45.:00:48.

But in some parts of Lincolnshire, that front line is starting

:00:49.:00:59.

In Gainsborough, there are only six full-time GPs,

:01:00.:01:01.

when there should be ten, making it difficult

:01:02.:01:03.

Last time I needed to see the doctor, I couldn't get

:01:04.:01:07.

in so I ended up in the minor injuries department instead.

:01:08.:01:09.

By the time it comes to your appointment,

:01:10.:01:11.

three or four weeks later, even longer sometimes,

:01:12.:01:13.

But district councillors have come up with a solution.

:01:14.:01:27.

They want the Government to offer extra payments to GPs

:01:28.:01:30.

who move to work here, a so-called "rural weighting".

:01:31.:01:32.

I know locally in Lincolnshire we offered a ?20,000 handshake

:01:33.:01:35.

to recruit trainees and, for the first time,

:01:36.:01:38.

Gainsborough's MP is backing the plan.

:01:39.:01:40.

We already have the concept of London weighting and I think such

:01:41.:01:43.

is the crisis in GP recruitment that we should have a rural

:01:44.:01:45.

weighting also for doctors to try to encourage them to come

:01:46.:01:48.

There are 360 GPs in Lincolnshire, but the county should have 420.

:01:49.:01:52.

A salaried GP earns between ?55,000 and ?84,000 a year.

:01:53.:01:55.

That's more than double Lincolnshire's average

:01:56.:01:56.

He says it'll take more than cash incentives alone

:01:57.:02:09.

If anything, Lincolnshire GPs on average tend to earn better

:02:10.:02:15.

So, I'm not convinced that money is the whole story here.

:02:16.:02:21.

In the next few weeks, the NHS is bringing in 25 doctors

:02:22.:02:27.

recruited from mainland Europe to fill vacanies

:02:28.:02:29.

But that alone won't solve the recruitment problem,

:02:30.:02:34.

so initiatives like "rural weighting" could end up

:02:35.:02:36.

A Conservative MP has described the extra money being offered

:02:37.:02:45.

to councils to pay for social care as "putting a plaster

:02:46.:02:48.

The Government is allowing local authorities to raise council

:02:49.:02:56.

tax by an extra 3% this year to pay for the increasing cost

:02:57.:02:58.

of caring for the elderly and vulnerable people.

:02:59.:03:00.

But the Cleethorpes MP Martin Vickers says he's

:03:01.:03:02.

People do expect higher standards now.

:03:03.:03:08.

Changes in society mean that the elderly no longer stay

:03:09.:03:10.

with their families, or their extended families

:03:11.:03:12.

So it is a major issue and it's the biggest issue, I think,

:03:13.:03:22.

certainly in cost terms, that governments over

:03:23.:03:23.

the next decade or two are going to have to face.

:03:24.:03:29.

A boat built in Hull will soon be providing a medical lifeline

:03:30.:03:32.

The ?25,000 Wilberforce One will help

:03:33.:03:35.

take doctors and nurses, as well as medical supplies,

:03:36.:03:37.

along the Volta River and work like a floating clinic.

:03:38.:03:44.

The boat's been paid for by Rotary Clubs

:03:45.:03:46.

The hospital's across a river that has crocodiles in and the people

:03:47.:03:52.

don't swim and theonly access they have is wooden boats

:03:53.:03:54.

There is the canoe they used to use and the boat behind it,

:03:55.:04:04.

so hopefully it will work very well out there.

:04:05.:04:10.

In today's football, Hull City were knocked out

:04:11.:04:12.

Marcol Silva made seven changes from the team who beat

:04:13.:04:19.

Manchester United on Thursday, but they were unable to overcome

:04:20.:04:22.

Evandro scored his first goal for the Tigers,

:04:23.:04:25.

but Hernandez missed two penalties in a minute as the home team

:04:26.:04:28.

And Lincoln City's giant-killing run in the FA Cup continues.

:04:29.:04:34.

For the first time in more than a century, the Imps

:04:35.:04:37.

are in the final 16 of the competition.

:04:38.:04:40.

They beat Championship leaders Brighton and Hove Albion 3-1

:04:41.:04:42.

Manager Danny Cowley says they had to live up

:04:43.:04:46.

It's beyond all of my wildest dreams.

:04:47.:04:50.

We watched them queue up, hour after hour,

:04:51.:04:55.

felt like day after day, and we shouldered that

:04:56.:05:00.

We were all aware of it, all of us, as a management group and players,

:05:01.:05:04.

we were aware about how much the fans had committed to be

:05:05.:05:08.

here and we wanted to make sure our performance

:05:09.:05:10.

And the draw for the next round is tomorrow evening at 7pm.

:05:11.:05:18.

Well, a pretty drizzly end to the day.

:05:19.:05:23.

We're just seeing a band of something very light and patchy

:05:24.:05:26.

Within the next few hours, we will be looking at

:05:27.:05:30.

A fair bit of mist and murk and patchy fog and frost

:05:31.:05:41.

Temperatures in towns and cities down around 3 or 4 Celsius.

:05:42.:05:45.

Rurally, though, under any clearer skies, they will

:05:46.:05:47.

So a cloudy, uninspiring start to the working week, I'm afraid.

:05:48.:05:50.

There will be some mist, some patchy fog but this will soon

:05:51.:05:53.

lift just to a little bit of low cloud.

:05:54.:05:56.

We'll see some brightness tomorrow afternoon, a largely dry picture,

:05:57.:05:58.

feeling a touch milder with highs of 7 Celsius.

:05:59.:06:00.

There was some sunny and cheerful weather across the UK today.

:06:01.:06:19.

Scotland and the far north of England, but further south, a rainy,

:06:20.:06:24.

ugly picture, and it's still pouring

:06:25.:06:25.
