Welcome to Tuesday's Look North.In tonight's headlines: Funding must be | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
found ` the man who runs an ageing hospital says it must be replaced or | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
patient care may suffer. The wife of a missing professional | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
golfer makes an emotional plea to him to get in touch. | :00:18. | :00:31. | |
And in these cash strapped times should our councils be spending | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
thousands on Christmas lights? In sport, two of our football teams are | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
of the FA Cup trail tonight. And Newcastle United are hoping to | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
spread the word as the club's Foundation launches a coaching | :00:50. | :01:03. | |
programme to catch them young. It's one of our busiest hospitals, | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
caring for up to 400,000 people. But Look North's been told it's out of | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
date, not fit for purpose, struggling to recruit and constantly | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
making compromises in the care of patients. Those criticisms aren't | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
from unhappy patients, or inspectors, but from the hospital | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
itself. Medical expert Dr Nick Roper says North Tees Hospital in Stockton | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
must be replaced with a new ?300 million hospital at Wynyard. The | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
plan is at a critical stage and all hope rests on the Government | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
agreeing to help pay for it. Our health reporter Sharon Barbour has | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
tonight's Look North report. For eight years Dr Nick Roper has | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
been overseeing plans for a new hospital at Wynyard. It has been a | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
roller`coaster ride. It has now reached a critical point. | :01:57. | :02:10. | |
Is it safe? We keep it safe. It becomes an increasing challenge. You | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
have to make compromises. The challenge is to maintain the safety | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
and quality of the service. There are compromises that can affect the | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
quality. Hospital bosses were thrilled when the Labour government | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
promised the ?460 million to build it then devastated when the | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Coalition government cancelled the plan. So they came up with a cheaper | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
plan, just ?300 million. Unable to find funding elsewhere they have | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
gone back to the government. That is their last chance. | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
It has been ten years in the planning. ?13 million has been spent | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
already, 5 million on the land alone, but the hope to build a | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
world`class hospital at Wynyard now rests upon the government agreeing | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
to give ?100 million. If the government says now the GM of | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
the super hospital is over. What does that mean? The out of date | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
hospital has a catalogue of problems. We have intensive care on | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
the first floor in a different part of the building. It forces us to | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
compromise. But compromises our quality of care. Is this a hospital | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
fit for purpose for the next ten or 20 years? Not really. And there are | :03:53. | :04:08. | |
staffing issues. Doctors are needed in accident and agency and nurses | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
also. But attracting staff to a rundown hospital is not easy. There | :04:13. | :04:23. | |
is national pressure. The better the quality of life the better the | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
recruitment will be. Hospital bosses are hoping that the plan to build | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
the new hospital will go ahead. The other plan would be to try to make | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
this hospital work. That is a bleak prospect. All hope rests with that | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
phone call but what if the government says no? It would be | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
devastating. We have had that call already once. We did not have a | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
phone called. We found out on the news. I know that feeling. This time | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
it would be worse because it would probably be final this time. | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
What are the chances of this going ahead? | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
It is not a good time to be asking the Government money but the trust | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
believes it has a strong case. 200 million is coming from PFI finance, | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
100 million from the government. They have sent the request to their | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
health regulator. They are set to sent their report to the Health | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Secretary. The Department of Health says they cannot comment during this | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
decision making process. When will we know? Fairly soon, but it is | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
unlikely that the announcement will be made in the run`up to Christmas. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
The situation facing the hospital trust is dire if the answer is no. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
The trust has said they feel optimistic at the moment. | :06:01. | :06:18. | |
. He set off for work over a week ago | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
but failed to arrive, and nothing's been heard from him since. Now the | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
wife of missing County Durham man Peter Jackson has made an emotional | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
appeal for his safe return. Police say they are increasingly worried | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
for Mr Jackson's welfare, and his family and friends are desperate for | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
news of his whereabouts. Damian O'Neil reports. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
Alexis Jackson, wife of Peter, spoke today of the fear which has gripped | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
her and her two sons since her husband vanished on the morning of | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
November the 12th. On that day, 38`year`old Peter set off from his | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
home in Seaham to Castle Eden golf club where he works as a golf pro, | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
but he never arrived. Everything was normal. Was he worried about | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
anything? Not that I know of. If he has worries I do not know about | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
them. He just needs to go home. I have two boys who are missing their | :07:16. | :07:27. | |
dad. His friends want him home. Mr Jackson was driving a grey Ford | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Focus C`Max when he was last seen, and Durham Police say any possible | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
sightings of him should be reported. They're stressing that despite the | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
family's understandable worry, they're still hopeful of finding Mr | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Jackson safe and well. There is nothing to suggest he has come to | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
harm but the family are concerned and enquiries are being made to find | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
ten. Nobody from the golf club wanted to talk about Peter Jackson, | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
and there is nothing to suggest anything improper has taken place. | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
A joyrider has crashed into a County Durham care home, demolishing the | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
entrance and narrowly missing residents' bedrooms. It happened | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
shortly after two o'clock this morning at the Kingsway Nursing Home | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
in Langley Park. Staff raised the alarm and the driver was arrested | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
nearby. Adrian Pitches reports. The morning after the night before | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
when our car was driven at speed into the entrance of Kingsley care | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
home. This was the scene that staff last night. We were waiting for call | :08:33. | :08:43. | |
bells to go off. We heard a bang. We looked through the door to see a car | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
that had come through the entrance of the care home. We phoned the | :08:47. | :09:00. | |
police. There was a chap running. But the bank was incredible and | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
shocking for the staff very close to bedrooms. There is a bedroom next | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
door to where the car came in. It could have been fatal. It is a shock | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
that somebody could do this to a nursing home. The home has 38 | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
residents with a range of conditions. Understandably they have | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
found the incident upsetting. A few are bewildered that this would | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
happen. For then this is their home. It is no difference to you or I | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
being in our home and our car crashing through our living room. At | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
26`year`old man was arrested and was taken to hospital with minor | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
injuries. There are warnings that some | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
families in North Yorkshire are being failed because of the waiting | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
times to have children assessed for autism. National guidelines suggest | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
children should be seen within three months of referral, but in one part | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
of the county the average wait is 12 months. The local NHS says it's | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
addressing the issue, but support groups say the situation's | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
unacceptable. Jamie Coulson reports. This boy is six years old. From a | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
young age his parents were concerned about his lack of communication. He | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
faced a nine`month wait for an appointment. You want him to | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
progress and stay in a mainstream school. If you'd do not get the | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
right diagnosis and support that will not happen. | :10:55. | :11:03. | |
New guidelines were developed in 2011 that said all children should | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
be assessed for autism within three months of being referred. There are | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
currently five diagnostic services in North Yorkshire. There are 254 | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
children on the waiting list. 180 of them have already waited longer than | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
three months. Further 50 four will breach the guidance before they are | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
seen. And Scarborough the adage weight is 12 months. It is | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
unacceptable. It does not fall in line with the rest of the country. | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
We are failing our families. The NHS body that to corporate | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
responsibility for services in April says demand has exceeded that | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
initially calculated. He finally began his assessment | :12:00. | :12:22. | |
process last week. But for many others the wait goes on. | :12:23. | :12:34. | |
Christmas lights in towns and city centres are something many of us | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
look forward to at this time of year. But they don't come cheap. One | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
of the biggest spenders is South Tyneside Council with a budget of | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
?150,000. Newcastle expects to spend close to that with ?120,000. | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
Middlesbrough plans to spend half as much, ?60,000, Carlisle ?39,000 and | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
Durham ?36,000. Hartlepool is spending ?10,000 and Gateshead | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
hasn't set a budget for Christmas lights yet. Is this good value? Our | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
Political Editor Richard Moss joins us now from Sunderland city centre. | :13:11. | :13:20. | |
Sunderland went through the big switch on last week. You can see the | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
fruits of ?45,000 worth of council taxpayers money. Would it be better | :13:26. | :13:37. | |
spent supporting vulnerable children and older people? Libraries and | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
leisure centres? Our Christmas lights are luxury and a time of | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
austerity session Mark. ?150,000 is the budget. The local | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
authority thinks it is value for money. We get complaints from people | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
who think there are not enough Christmas lights. We need to have | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
people attracted in to the borough to use our facilities. | :14:13. | :14:22. | |
But is everyone as full of Christmas spirit? It is nice to do that but it | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
is too much money. They are lovely. They are only up for a month it | :14:32. | :14:43. | |
could be spent on different things. How do would it be if we did not | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
have the lights? We have to have some sort of Christmas. In Newcastle | :14:49. | :15:05. | |
retailers hope for Christmas magic. It enhances the festive quality. It | :15:06. | :15:17. | |
makes the city vibrant. People want to spend time in the city. Given the | :15:18. | :15:29. | |
biggest beneficiaries will be city centre businesses is it not time | :15:30. | :15:40. | |
that they fitted the bill? This is the time of year that they should | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
make their significant profits. Sunderland council believes in | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Nepalese lights went gone they are just as vital as service as emptying | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
the bins. For many of our councils this is | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
about competition. Trying to tempt people away from the flashing lights | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
of the computer for the flashing lights of the city centre. | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
It may be 2013, but across the country seven million people have | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
still never used the internet and new figures show that our region has | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
one of the highest numbers of non`users. On Teesside though, a | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
special project is trying to change that. The Westfield Farm Resource | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Centre is helping hundreds of people get to grips with the world wide | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
web. A scheme that was visited today by one entrepreneur who's become the | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
Government's digital champion. Phil Connell reports. | :16:37. | :16:52. | |
She was 53 when she first use the intranet and now she is a digital | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
champion at this resource Centre. I can e`mail. I can do my banking. I | :17:00. | :17:15. | |
can even travel the world. Last year 60% of the residents in this area | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
had no access to the intranet. For them Westfield Farm Resource Centre | :17:20. | :17:33. | |
gave them access to the internets. In our region the average figure is | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
even higher. In the North East 15.2% have never been online. Cumbria has | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
the highest figure in England with almost 20% having never accessed the | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
internets. Today the founder of a travel firm came to Westfield Farm | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
Resource Centre to see how the internet was changing lives. The | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
entrepreneur is now a government champion with the aim of making | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
millions more familiar with online technology. I have set a big | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
challenge for the UK to make us the most digital release skilled | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
country. When I come to places like this I feel encouraged. | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
And this person is learning fast. Keep pace with changing times. | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
Over a quarter of a century since Carlisle's brewery closed, beer | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
production has returned to the city. The brand new Carlisle Brewing | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
Company has proved itself an award winner with one of its very first | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
brews. The city played an important role in the history of British | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
brewing and the new business has a strong link with that past, as | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
Graham Moss has been finding out. This is free beer used be made in | :18:55. | :19:07. | |
Carlisle. This scheme lasted until the early 1970s. The last painting | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
out of here in the 1980s. Since then despite the massive growth in small | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
breweries none of that beer was made in Carlisle. Until now. | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
This was built under the state management scheme. I am Carlisle | :19:27. | :19:39. | |
born and bred. I am used to having that kind of destiny around me. It | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
is lovely to think that we can tie that whole thing in with having our | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
state management hub. Drinkers have voted the first blew | :19:57. | :20:11. | |
out of here one of the best. It is one of the first literally to come | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
out of the kit. The public voted for it. We had no idea that was going to | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
happen. It is great that the city has a new Blu`ray again. `` a new | :20:27. | :20:39. | |
Blu`ray again. We have come up with some decent year. The results are | :20:40. | :20:55. | |
available at pubs around Carlisle. Time for the sport. | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
Now three of our clubs have FA Cup first round replays this week. First | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
up tonight are Carlisle United and York City. Victory for the | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
Minstermen over Bristol Rovers at Bootham Crescent would earn them a | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
home game against League One Crawley. Win that one and a third | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
round tie against one of the big guns could beckon. But let's not get | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
ahead of ourselves! Mark Tulip reports. | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
It would be fair to say that over the years, York City have enjoyed | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
more success in cup competitions than in the league. | :21:24. | :21:24. | |
It would be fair to say that over the years, York City Nearly 60 years | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
ago, the club actually reached the semi`finals of the FA Cup, losing a | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
replay against eventual winners Newcastle United at Roker Park in | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
Sunderland. This season, the two matches between York and Bristol | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Rovers, including the 3`3 FA Cup draw, have already yielded 11 goals. | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
But with both clubs in the lower reaches of League Two, is this | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
evening's tie a welcome or unwelcome distraction? Staying in the league | :21:48. | :21:57. | |
is the number one priority. That is a definite. But if we can get | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
through a few rounds of the FA Cup that is fantastic when the financial | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
side comes into it. It helps the chairman. It helps myself. It helps | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
the club to move forward in a gradual way. Worthington, in his | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
first full season with York, has managed Premier League Norwich and | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
the Northern Ireland national team so how does he find the task of | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
guiding a lower league club? It is a different challenge. You are not | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
dealing with Eagles. Players are wanting to learn, take information | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
on board. That side of it is very encouraging. Unfortunately we are | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
conceding too many goals. We have got to work at that. | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
Well there's commentary on that one on BBC Radio York, and on BBC Radio | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
Cumbria you can follow the fortunes of Carlisle. Manager Graham Kavanagh | :23:03. | :23:31. | |
could certainly do with a lift. Defender Mike Williamson has been | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
taking advantage of the international break to help launch | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
the Newcastle United Foundation's school football coaching scheme. The | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
three`year project, which will also include competitions and | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
teacher`training, and in will reach more than 7,000 children in 200 | :23:42. | :23:57. | |
schools. Dawn Thewlis reports. The questions and the comments are | :23:58. | :24:09. | |
always funny. It does not matter how old you are boys love to compare | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
battle scars. Mike Williamson has been part of an improved defence in | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
recent weeks. How important is it to have a settled back for? We have got | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
fantastic centre halves at the club. We are playing with quality | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
players. We are striving for consistency. It always helps to know | :24:44. | :24:57. | |
you have a good goalkeeper behind you. If you get beat by a good bit | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
of skill you have a world class goalkeeper behind you. | :25:07. | :25:22. | |
Here is the weather. This morning there was a widespread frost. | :25:23. | :25:44. | |
Overnight there will be some frost. There will be some wet and windy | :25:45. | :25:54. | |
weather. Things could turn icy at the tail end of the night. | :25:55. | :26:10. | |
Temperatures will start to lift. Later in the night we could see | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
temperatures taking aid again. It could be I see tomorrow morning. | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
That ice risk continues through the course of the morning. Then we have | :26:24. | :26:34. | |
sunny spells and scattered showers. Temperatures will peak tomorrow | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
afternoon at eight Celsius. That is up at new degrees on today. It is a | :26:38. | :26:47. | |
messy picture as we head into tomorrow. After we get tomorrow out | :26:48. | :26:57. | |
of the way things begin to settle down. For the next couple of days | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
after tomorrow there will be a lot of dry weather to be hard. Many | :27:07. | :27:33. | |
