:01:55. > :02:13.Here we are outside a very busy accident and emergency unit at the
:02:14. > :02:17.hospital here in Whitehaven were staff to have been anxiously
:02:18. > :02:21.awaiting the news, the biggest shake-up of health services across
:02:22. > :02:26.Cumbria in decades. The most emotive issue has been around maternity
:02:27. > :02:32.care. Our reporter has been speaking to campaigners who have really
:02:33. > :02:35.argued strongly to keep consultant led maternity here, arguing that the
:02:36. > :02:38.journey from here across to Carlisle, 40 miles, is dangerous and
:02:39. > :02:46.could even put lives at risk. At this mother and baby group
:02:47. > :02:50.meeting in Cockermouth this week, young mums talk openly about the
:02:51. > :02:53.anxieties of having to travel to give birth. I have straightforward
:02:54. > :02:58.births, but I would be very concerned at the idea of having to
:02:59. > :03:03.travel. Labour is stressful enough for mums anyway and the prospect of
:03:04. > :03:08.losing a baby and yourself as well. So very frightening experience, I
:03:09. > :03:12.think. It is not just that pregnancy itself is a worrying time. Some say
:03:13. > :03:16.there is hard evidence available to suggest that increasing travel times
:03:17. > :03:22.puts lives at risk. I started to read the international research on
:03:23. > :03:27.the impact of distance from services and birth outcomes and the impact is
:03:28. > :03:31.simply appalling. The idea of it being saved to travel and our other
:03:32. > :03:37.half in Labour as a lot of our woman would be asked to do nonsense. If
:03:38. > :03:40.your bosses ever. Propose changes to hospital services would cause a
:03:41. > :03:42.short-term stir, then they would have had to think again.
:03:43. > :03:47.Demonstrations like this would have been frequent in West Cumbria and
:03:48. > :03:51.campaigners want a long-term solution. We are going to unite,
:03:52. > :03:55.stand together, fight against this. There is no way they are removing
:03:56. > :03:59.our services. Our option is to keep what we have already got to work
:04:00. > :04:02.hard to make sure it is sustainable for the future. Commit to a ten year
:04:03. > :04:06.plan with a recruitment drive and we can sort this out. Back at the
:04:07. > :04:10.mother and baby group, some mums say what happens to hospital services
:04:11. > :04:14.could add even greater worries to possible future pregnancies. For
:04:15. > :04:20.myself, if I do go on to have any other children, that will just be of
:04:21. > :04:24.great concern. And something that would overshadow my pregnancy.
:04:25. > :04:27.Cockermouth to Carlisle is not so bad, but Whitehaven is a lot further
:04:28. > :04:39.away than that they would have a really long way to travel, is a very
:04:40. > :04:42.important. Our reporter was at the meeting when the news was announced
:04:43. > :04:45.not only the news about the maternity services but also those
:04:46. > :04:48.Community Hospital beds that are going and the other vital hospital
:04:49. > :04:57.services that are leaving Whitehaven. For the ladies who have
:04:58. > :05:03.spent their lives delivering babies in West Cumbria, today's news was
:05:04. > :05:07.not good. I am gutted. Absolutely gutted. We care. We want our mums to
:05:08. > :05:11.be safe and healthy at the same for our babies. Why are people going to
:05:12. > :05:17.move here? Why would they proved their family, come to a job weather
:05:18. > :05:21.is certainty? It is just really a stay of execution. Just more
:05:22. > :05:26.uncertainty for everybody. The campaigners doubt that 12 months
:05:27. > :05:29.will be enough time to address maternity staff shortages and in
:05:30. > :05:33.effect the new plan will leap was born maternity downgrading. But
:05:34. > :05:36.clinicians working on the proposals say this alternative reflects
:05:37. > :05:40.feedback from the public and it is a definite attempt to make the safer.
:05:41. > :05:43.We are going to do our hardest to respond to respond to the challenges
:05:44. > :05:47.that we have got. But we know that at the same time we will tear some
:05:48. > :05:50.of the things we should have been doing anyway. Let's work together to
:05:51. > :05:53.try to put the something together that will be sustainable for the
:05:54. > :05:57.long time. Much of the debate years been about the time it takes to
:05:58. > :06:01.travel along as busy, rural road. Today, it was confirmed that the
:06:02. > :06:05.most seriously ill children will be taken to Carlisle for treatment with
:06:06. > :06:08.a short stay paediatric ward in Whitehaven. Carlisle would be the
:06:09. > :06:28.base for a new hyper acute stroke unit as well. Patients taking
:06:29. > :06:31.directly there will be no changes immediately overnight, but still,
:06:32. > :06:34.the news is disappointing for campaigning. For us, because we are
:06:35. > :06:38.so geographically isolated, it could be the death of our community ever
:06:39. > :06:42.hospital does not have beds. There is great love and affection for
:06:43. > :06:46.timidity hospitals here. Campaigners say they still have a role to play,
:06:47. > :06:50.but it is not always the answer. There is a lot more we can do if we
:06:51. > :06:53.put in testament into supporting people in their own homes and
:06:54. > :06:57.supporting them to not need a bed in the first place. So a day of big
:06:58. > :07:01.decisions. Some bringing clarity, others concerned. The only certainty
:07:02. > :07:10.here, the determination from all involved to make health care in
:07:11. > :07:17.Cumbria safer for the future. The area's new MP, sworn in just a week
:07:18. > :07:22.ago is Judy Harrison. You pushed for the review of maternity service. You
:07:23. > :07:26.have got that. What is your reaction? Good evening. I post for
:07:27. > :07:29.services to remain at West Cumberland Hospital and what the
:07:30. > :07:35.review will actually do is to enable us to recruit and retain the staff
:07:36. > :07:40.that we need to make sure that we retain consultant led maternity.
:07:41. > :07:45.Campaigners say, yes, it is a reprieve, but they are worried that
:07:46. > :07:48.12 months is not long enough. They are still concerned. What we all
:07:49. > :07:51.need to do now, and I would commend all of those that have raised
:07:52. > :07:56.awareness in this campaign, it has been a sterling effort, but what we
:07:57. > :07:59.need to do now is get behind the recruitment and retention campaign,
:08:00. > :08:03.working with the community, with staff supporters, with the partners
:08:04. > :08:07.in the nuclear industry, because I think they can be really helpful
:08:08. > :08:11.now. Just to reiterate, the wonderful quality of life that you
:08:12. > :08:14.can have in West Cumbria and also as West Cumberland Hospital is a
:08:15. > :08:19.teaching hospital comedy career opportunities there as well. It is
:08:20. > :08:25.not the day to sound triumphant today, really, is it? Because a lot
:08:26. > :08:29.has been lost. Children's services, acute care, beds going from
:08:30. > :08:34.community hospitals and a cut in those that Penrith. Very difficult
:08:35. > :08:38.time. Well, my pledge was to make sure that we retain services at West
:08:39. > :08:41.Cumberland Hospital. That remains and I'm very much looking forward to
:08:42. > :08:48.working with all of those that can help us recruit and retain staff. Do
:08:49. > :08:55.you think it is going to be a very difficult job to Selby area? This is
:08:56. > :08:59.the main stumbling block block, not only be recruiting but the retention
:09:00. > :09:03.of those stuff. I certainly think the hard work starts now. We have a
:09:04. > :09:07.12 month window of opportunity. I am optimistic that we can recruit and
:09:08. > :09:11.retain those staff, but it will take everybody. It will mean that the
:09:12. > :09:15.hospital staff, the supporters, the community and all of those in West
:09:16. > :09:19.Cumbria get behind this campaign. But I do think it is possible. I
:09:20. > :09:22.really do. Right. Thank you very much.
:09:23. > :09:25.Our health reporter Sharon Barbour's still with us.
:09:26. > :09:29.You have reaction from another local MP.
:09:30. > :09:36.Yes, some or political reaction. A Labour MP said the downgrading of
:09:37. > :09:40.children's services showed that services here at the hospital were
:09:41. > :09:45.still under threat and there is still uncertainty. She did welcome
:09:46. > :09:48.that reprieve for consultant led maternity, while the review took
:09:49. > :09:55.place, but she did say that she will be watching that review process very
:09:56. > :09:59.closely. Well, it is a bit of a mixed bag, really. I am very pleased
:10:00. > :10:03.that maternity services are going to stay with consultant led services at
:10:04. > :10:07.least for the next year. But it is really, really important that we
:10:08. > :10:10.make sure that that then continues beyond the 12 month trial and the
:10:11. > :10:13.key issue for that is to get recruitment sorted out and I will be
:10:14. > :10:17.looking for a proper plan on how they are going to tackle recruitment
:10:18. > :10:20.and make sure that we are able to continue to have those consultant
:10:21. > :10:26.led services at West Cumberland Hospital. So tonight for all of the
:10:27. > :10:32.staff here in the hospital in Whitehaven and for the 140,000
:10:33. > :10:36.patients they serve, the blow was softer than many had expected, but
:10:37. > :10:41.they do say they are going to continue to fight to keep the
:10:42. > :10:45.services that they can and to keep consultant led maternity here in
:10:46. > :10:50.Whitehaven. Back to you. OK, thank you. We moved to other news.
:10:51. > :10:53.It was Chancellor Philip Hammond's first Budget, but also the last one
:10:54. > :10:57.The yearly estimate of likely income and spending will now
:10:58. > :11:05.Well, our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve has been gauging
:11:06. > :11:15.We do not have his report had been moments, so we will go to our
:11:16. > :11:17.political editor. The Chancellor did find more more
:11:18. > :11:27.money to help our councils care Yes, ?2 billion over three years.
:11:28. > :11:30.That is in addition to some council tax being raised. We will all pay
:11:31. > :11:35.another 2% to fund social care this year. The concern is that older
:11:36. > :11:39.people are left without care and therefore they get stuck in hospital
:11:40. > :11:43.beds and it adds to the pressure on the NHS. But Labour says that ?2
:11:44. > :11:51.billion over three years just won't be enough. We know that social care
:11:52. > :11:55.needs ?2 billion immediately. This is ?2 billion spread over three
:11:56. > :12:00.years. And I think every MP in the country knows that this is the
:12:01. > :12:04.biggest issue facing us in terms of our surgeries and people bringing
:12:05. > :12:09.forward issues. So I don't think the Government quite stepped up to the
:12:10. > :12:12.mark today on social care. The Conservatives say it is not just
:12:13. > :12:16.about money. In Northumberland, they're trying to get the councils
:12:17. > :12:22.and the health service to try to work closer together to tackle this.
:12:23. > :12:25.When I talk to constituents, they don't understand quite rightly why
:12:26. > :12:28.these different parts of our health service are not one seamless whole
:12:29. > :12:32.and we are slowly moving towards that in Northumberland but we will
:12:33. > :12:35.be leading the way, which is fantastic. Councils will now be able
:12:36. > :12:39.to charge up to 3% and I know we have that in our council tax coming
:12:40. > :12:42.through in April and this extra ?2 billion will help those councils who
:12:43. > :12:45.are moving towards a seamless programme as we will have in
:12:46. > :12:49.Northumberland and we'll get there too. The previous Chancellor was
:12:50. > :12:53.very keen on talking about the northern powerhouse. In fact, you
:12:54. > :12:57.launched it. What about this one? Six mentions by George Osborne in
:12:58. > :13:00.last year's budget. On the one mentioned by Philip Hammond today.
:13:01. > :13:04.We are promised a share of investment in the rooms and we will
:13:05. > :13:07.find out the details of that. Some scheme to tackle congestion in the
:13:08. > :13:11.North East and Cumbria. Over the next few days. There was concern
:13:12. > :13:16.about raised national insurance contributions for the self-employed,
:13:17. > :13:18.not just from Labour MPs but also from conservatives and the
:13:19. > :13:22.Federation of Small Businesses in the North East who say it will
:13:23. > :13:27.hamper efforts to great jobs in the North East. OK. Thank you.
:13:28. > :13:30.Durham Police have received a letter threatening the county's
:13:31. > :13:33.The police say the letter, addressed to the Chief Constable,
:13:34. > :13:34.contained political rhetoric along with threats.
:13:35. > :13:36.The police also say, although there's no supporting
:13:37. > :13:39.evidence to corroborate the threats, they're trying to trace the person
:13:40. > :13:46.responsible and are offering reassurance to councillors.
:13:47. > :13:53.I don't think we take threats like this likely in the current climate.
:13:54. > :13:56.We never received anything like this, but more importantly we are
:13:57. > :13:59.trying to concentrate on the day job of interacting with our communities
:14:00. > :14:10.across the county in the way that we always do.
:14:11. > :14:15.Detectives investigating the rape of a woman have made an appeal for
:14:16. > :14:19.witnesses to come forward. The attack happened on Friday the 3rd of
:14:20. > :14:24.March when a woman and her toddler were dragged into a car by two men
:14:25. > :14:29.and driven to a secluded area. They were then several hours later
:14:30. > :14:37.between 530 and 630 bundled out of the car.
:14:38. > :14:39.They were then, several hours later, between 5.30 and 6.30,
:14:40. > :14:42.bundled out the car on Kirkleatham lane, near the Kirkleatham Museum.
:14:43. > :14:44.To mark International Women's Day a special plaque's been unveiled
:14:45. > :14:47.Unveiled by the city's Lord Mayor, Councillor Hazel Stephenson,
:14:48. > :14:49.the plaque commemorates the famous Newcastle suffragette,
:14:50. > :14:52.It symbolised the moment of Kathleen's release
:14:53. > :14:54.from prison in 1909, where she'd been sentenced
:14:55. > :14:56.for throwing stones at the windows of Whitehall, during a protest
:14:57. > :14:58.trying to win the right to vote for women.
:14:59. > :15:07.Kathleen then returned to Newcastle to a hero's welcome.
:15:08. > :15:12.Now the extraordinary story of Dorothy Robertson, a lady from South
:15:13. > :15:17.Shields who has been a hospital volunteer for more than 70 years.
:15:18. > :15:21.This weekend, Dorothy will be 92, and age at which she has finally
:15:22. > :15:23.decided to retire. Today, she had a farewell party and our correspondent
:15:24. > :15:31.was there. Work leaving parties are always
:15:32. > :15:35.special, but in South Shields today, Dorothy Robertson's leaving do was
:15:36. > :15:41.one not to be missed. For more than 70 years, Dorothy has been a patient
:15:42. > :15:45.creature, a loyal volunteer at South Tyneside District Hospital. She
:15:46. > :15:50.started volunteering there during the Second World War. Now, at the
:15:51. > :15:55.age of 92, she has decided to call it time after 76 years of giving
:15:56. > :16:01.directions and advice. If people come in and just sort of look a bit
:16:02. > :16:09.lost, this is why you have to read the body language. And sometimes I
:16:10. > :16:13.find gentleman are a bit hesitant in asking for advice. I learned that
:16:14. > :16:19.with my husband as a driver in the car. He would never ask directions.
:16:20. > :16:23.The greeters and outpatients are very heavily relied upon by patients
:16:24. > :16:28.as they come in the door. Dorothy has been a prime example of that. A
:16:29. > :16:33.typical example. One that we should all hold our heads up high and thank
:16:34. > :16:36.her for. But Dorothy's legacy as a volunteer goes way beyond South
:16:37. > :16:41.Tyneside Hospital. As well as being a patient creature, she has worked
:16:42. > :16:44.for Relate, the Alzheimer's society, and has been a magistrate. She has
:16:45. > :16:52.even been a chaperone for child actors including a youthful Ant and
:16:53. > :16:58.Dec. They were not the famous people that they are today. Did they behave
:16:59. > :17:02.themselves? Well, what do you expect a 12 hour day 13-year-old to be
:17:03. > :17:06.like? Dorothy's presence in the hospital will be sorely missed. An
:17:07. > :17:11.extraordinary lady who says she will be often popping back.
:17:12. > :17:21.Dear me. If you ever felt lazy. Dorothy putting many people to
:17:22. > :17:22.shame, I am sure. Not you. Naughty Ant and Dec as well. Who would have
:17:23. > :17:23.believed it? Newcastle United remain top
:17:24. > :17:25.of the Championship but couldn't add to their 13 away wins in the league,
:17:26. > :17:28.playing out their first goalless draw of the season last
:17:29. > :17:30.night against Reading. It was a cagey match

:17:36. > :17:39.shots in the first half - Matt Ritchie's strike hitting
:17:40. > :17:42.the post just before the break. But Reading who have the best home
:17:43. > :17:45.record in the division forced Karl Darlow into action on occasion

:20:03. > :20:08.The book has given him the opportunity -
:20:09. > :20:10.sometimes with humour - to explore some painful
:20:11. > :20:16.What has been the most difficult period for you? I think the months
:20:17. > :20:19.leading up to my admission to the hospital with pneumonia last March
:20:20. > :20:23.was the worst period for me and my family. I had developed severe
:20:24. > :20:25.anxiety centred around the deterioration of my breathing,
:20:26. > :20:26.including a stay in the hospital. With the help of his
:20:27. > :20:29.family, assistant Sam and team of carers Mark -
:20:30. > :20:31.a former PE Teacher - works at Kenton School in Newcastle
:20:32. > :20:34.holding down a research The 185 page book took him six weeks

:20:51. > :20:52.those people who do not have the knowledge of the disease to
:20:53. > :20:59.understand the condition a bit better. Mark, are you hoping you
:21:00. > :21:04.could be an inspiration for others? We had another player recently
:21:05. > :21:07.diagnosed? I don't set out to be or consider myself inspirational. I
:21:08. > :21:12.just try to live my life the best I can. I hope that if people do read
:21:13. > :21:15.my book and the have a similar condition they will realise that
:21:16. > :21:20.life is not over and is definitely worth living.
:21:21. > :21:25.A remarkable man. Now it is time for the weather
:21:26. > :21:34.and we have got some experts on hand. We have indeed. Time for the
:21:35. > :21:41.arguments... I mean, the discussions to continue. I headed off to meet
:21:42. > :21:49.some people involved in revitalising Reed still, a sometimes forgotten
:21:50. > :21:55.corner of Northumberland. Revitalising is a partnership
:21:56. > :21:59.project working with the Heritage lottery to try to look at ways we
:22:00. > :22:02.can conserve and enhance this fantastic landscape. One of the
:22:03. > :22:05.things that we want to do is very much engaged local people in terms
:22:06. > :22:09.of devising the projects that we are going to support. So we developed a
:22:10. > :22:13.photographic competition to try to find out what local people value
:22:14. > :22:16.about the landscape and we got some fantastic pictures that shoulder
:22:17. > :22:19.some of the viewpoints, some of the special places, and what we got
:22:20. > :22:24.today is the of the winners to come and judge your competition. At this
:22:25. > :22:35.point in these films, we often find ourselves in a tea room cafe. Today
:22:36. > :22:46.is no exception. Red, Mary and Rowlie got down to business. The
:22:47. > :22:49.variety of your separate shots was wide, to say the least. But the
:22:50. > :22:55.judges were all in agreement about the highlights. We really love John
:22:56. > :22:59.Shipley's photograph of the starlings. We just love that wave
:23:00. > :23:04.motion, just when they are moving to the sky and changing direction. It
:23:05. > :23:09.really summed up debris followers. This was a beautiful picture. Just
:23:10. > :23:12.like waves with the sun came through and the contrast of the colours and
:23:13. > :23:16.it was framed absolutely beautifully. I would love to have
:23:17. > :23:22.taken that photograph. It is a lovely picture. The winning
:23:23. > :23:29.photograph was taken by Emily Murdoch. It is a sheepdog on a wall
:23:30. > :23:32.and as a composition it is perfect. The brooding sky in the background
:23:33. > :23:36.with that line of white is really made the wall stand out. It also had
:23:37. > :23:40.a lot of personality because the focus of the dog is so clear on its
:23:41. > :23:45.matter and the way that the sheep were looking at the photographer at
:23:46. > :23:51.the front so it really was a stunning photograph, that winner.
:23:52. > :23:57.Thanks to the folks from revitalising Reed still. And this
:23:58. > :24:01.shot of the sheepdog keeping an eye on the pregnant sheep will feature
:24:02. > :24:03.in the debris page of next year's look North weather calendar.
:24:04. > :24:07.Tomorrow, the skies will be brighter. We are expecting a mostly
:24:08. > :24:10.dry day with some sunshine again. Easy to say the least probably wind
:24:11. > :24:16.will eventually ease later in the day. It is a dry picture, as we head
:24:17. > :24:19.into the evening. There will be some cloud around through the night. An
:24:20. > :24:22.increasing chance of that cloud producing some showery outbreaks of
:24:23. > :24:26.rain here and there, more especially as we head into the early hours of
:24:27. > :24:30.the morning. The shoppers become less widespread again by the end of
:24:31. > :24:34.the night. The temperatures, like last night, generally no lower than
:24:35. > :24:38.about five Celsius. We keep a brisk westerly wind through the night. So
:24:39. > :24:43.tomorrow morning, any early showers die away fairly quickly. The cloud
:24:44. > :24:47.will lift and break and we are in for some sunny spells again. Most
:24:48. > :24:50.places dry through the day. Plenty of sunshine for the afternoon and
:24:51. > :24:55.temperatures again into double figures. Today we had highs of 14
:24:56. > :25:00.Celsius in some spots, not quite as warm as that tomorrow. Highs of
:25:01. > :25:05.around 11 Celsius. Gusty wind from a West or south westerly direction. It
:25:06. > :25:08.eventually easing as we head to the afternoon and into words tea-time.
:25:09. > :25:12.So that is the picture for tomorrow. A little ridge of high pressure that
:25:13. > :25:16.does not hang around too long. Pushed out of the way as these
:25:17. > :25:18.weather fronts coming from the West through Friday and into the weekend
:25:19. > :25:22.as well. Things more changeable over the next few days. Not all bad news
:25:23. > :25:26.but some others will seek rain at times as we head to the latter part
:25:27. > :25:30.of the working week and into the weekend itself. So for Friday,
:25:31. > :25:34.generally speaking, cloudier skies than we have been used to over the
:25:35. > :25:38.last day or so. Because cloud probably in the West. That is where
:25:39. > :25:41.we will see some patchy rain and drizzle at times. Temperatures still
:25:42. > :25:46.making it into double figures. The wind is lighter for most of us on
:25:47. > :25:50.Friday. Saturday sees the cloud coming and going. There will be some
:25:51. > :25:54.rain for a time although it does look as if most places will brighten
:25:55. > :25:58.up through the afternoon. 11-12dC again. The breeze picking up from
:25:59. > :26:04.the west or south-westerly direction. There will be some rain
:26:05. > :26:08.around at times on Sunday as well. Generally fairly cloudy skies so
:26:09. > :26:10.will the temperatures are at 10-11dC again it will not feel as warm as
:26:11. > :26:15.those numbers suggest, especially when you take into account that
:26:16. > :26:18.south-westerly breeze again. You can keep up-to-date with the latest
