There is outrage from a loc`l MP tonight after it was revealdd GPs | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
in part of our region are no longer able to refer patients | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Look North's discovered that all GPs across North Durham | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
and North Tyneside must now go through a private company bdfore | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
The local Clinical Commissioning Groups, which plan health sdrvices, | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
say cutting hospital admisshons has already saved ?1 million. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Our Health Reporter, Sharon Barbour, has this exclusive report. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
After investigations, your GP wants you to see | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
But Look North has learned for half a million North East patients, | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
the decision as to whether xou can see a range of hospital specialists | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
has been taken away from doctors and handed to a private company | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
NHS bosses say the the procdss will save money, get patients | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
to specialists earlier and reduce hospital admissions. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Some GPs say it undermines their role. | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
This is mainly about money, trying to save money within the national | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
Health Service, which is very strapped. But if they reallx need | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
treatment within the hospit`l, that's actually what has got to | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
happen and certainly within my own practice, and I think the m`jority | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
of GPs are the same, we will only refer the patient if we think that | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
is the most appropriate way forward, so I don't think there are lany | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
inappropriate referrals and I can understand many of my GP fedlings -- | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
colleagues are feeling that their autonomy and the decision-m`king is | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
being undermined or questioned. Durham's MP has called | :02:01. | :02:01. | |
for the contact to be stoppdd. It is absolutely disgraceful that | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
they have gone ahead with this with no public consultation, without as I | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
understand it the approval of GPs, and that is what I would be | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
demanding of them today, th`t they put a halt on this until thdre was | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
proper consultation and oversight in place and actually, I have to say, I | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
really do not want this contract to go ahead because I think it could | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
compromise patient safety. The MP says she'll now | :02:32. | :02:32. | |
raise questions about North Durham CCG insists | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
the contract will help GPs Patients will be | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
offered further advice. I wouldn't see it as undermhning. I | :02:40. | :02:53. | |
am asking for an opinion from a specialist. If they write b`ck to me | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
within three working days and save for this condition, have yot tried | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
this medication, I think th`t is better for my patient. We are trying | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
to make the NHS work more efficiently. If we can get patients | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
to specialists earlier diagnose conditions earlier and manage those | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
efficiencies that way and stop efficiencies that way and stop | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
hospital admissions. Who will be hospital admissions. Who will be | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
accountable if it goes wrong? In that rare incidents it is about | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
health who are accountable for that. Yes, there has been a reallx strong | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
reaction on Facebook and social media and most are angry about the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
lack of consultation. They want their doctor to make the decision | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
about whether or not they sde a hospital consultant and havd a | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
hospital appointment. Many `re angry that the company will never see the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
patient when they make that decision to refer or not to refer. Bringing | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
in a private company to man`ge these referrals is all about saving money | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
and cutting down hospital admissions. We know about the | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
financial pressures of the NHS. The Clinical Commissioning Group North | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Tyneside has a deficit of 18 million and North Durham is trying to save 7 | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
million. They have seen 12,000 referrals and turned down 2000 and | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
they have saved ?1 million, so it does save the money, but wh`t they | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
have also achieved is they have reduced the hospital referr`l number | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
more than anywhere else in Dngland, North Tyneside. | :04:28. | :04:28. | |
The words today from the RSPCA after a small dog was buried alive | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
And we must warn you that in this screen behind me, | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
we're about to show an X-rax image which is shocking. | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
I will pause if you want to look away. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Walkers discovered the dog in Kirkleatham Woods near Rddcar | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
yesterday after they heard it whimpering. | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
They called the police but ht had to be put down immediately. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
An act of horrific cruelty was how the RSPCA described it. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
A five inch nail hammered through the head of a small dog | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
It was only found because a couple of walkers heard the dog whhmpering. | :05:06. | :05:18. | |
This instance is deliberate and almost inexplicable cruelty. It s | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
probably the most graphic and horrifying incident that I have had | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
to deal with in my career. Obviously this dog was found by members of the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
public out walking their dogs and they have said it is somethhng that | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
will live with them for ever. The North East Cumbria has one | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
of the highest rates of anilal And the Redcar MP Anna Turldy | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
is campaiging to change the law so people convicted of thesd | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
crimes will recieve The maximum sentence for anhmal | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
abuse of any kind was one ydar in prison and that seemed to md totally | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
inefficient -- insufficient for the huge scale that is taking place | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
around the country of animal abuse. All the statistics show that people | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
who abuse animals often go on to abuse humans in life as well. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Back in Redcar the dog, which it's thought was a Jack Russell | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
or a West Highland Terrier, had to be put down after thd attack. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
Because of the force of the attack the RSPCA believes more than one | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
person was involved. And it's urging anyone who lay have | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
information to get in touch, so it can prosecute those rdponsible | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
for this horrifying act of cruelty. Nine people have now been | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
arrested over the death Jodie Wilkinson was stabbed | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
in Stanhope Street, near Newcastle Those held, are aged | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
between 14 and 43. The police say the investig`tion's | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
on-going and they are keen to hear Disability groups in Morpeth, | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
who'd been campaigning against plans for a shared-space road network | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
are celebrating tonight after Northumberland County Council | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
decided to scrap the scheme. The controversial proposals | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
for the Stobshill area would have meant the removal of all pavements, | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
kerbs, and crossings. They don't normally get this | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
excited at the meetings of the Northumberland Low Vhsion | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
Action Group, but there was a genuine sense | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
of relief that this scheme, which they were all dreading, | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
has been finally scrapped. For Ace and Trish, and their guide | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
dogs Peggy and Beth, I think it is a success for the | :07:25. | :07:37. | |
people, a voice for the people. It will be much safer for all guide dog | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
uses and everywhere in the country take note. Maybe this will help | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
other people in other parts of the country. Someone will benefht from | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
our aggravation. It was tratmatic, very difficult time and to have | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
people appreciate it will hdlp other people understand and know not to do | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
that. Local councilors too welcomdd the | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
council's U-turn on Stobhill. I am pleased to see that colmon | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
sense has prevailed here on the council has listened to that common | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
sense. I agree, I am delighted we put a stop to this waste of | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
taxpayers money and stopped a controversial scheme. | :08:21. | :08:21. | |
So, relief in Morpeth, but it's left disability groups | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
wondering who else is on the list for one of thesd | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
The organisers of the successful Bishop Auckland night show Kynren | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
have announced next year there will be more performances | :08:36. | :08:45. | |
They'll also be taking on htndreds of additional volunteers. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
The outdoor show tells the story of England back | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
A series of performances were held this summer | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
And a new creative director has started working on the show, | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
who's just returned from working on the Olympics. | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
This is very similar. It has the same DNA as many of the cerdmonies | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
we work on with a volunteer cast, coming from people of all works of | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
knife -- walks of life and people who haven't necessarily performed | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
before and people who might not think they are dancers and obvious | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
things that finding people to figure out how to teach them and hdlp them | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
figure their goals. We saw ht in the rave and it was still absolttely | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
magnificent but what is a monsoon between friends? | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
A bit of summer rain never hurt anybody! | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Autumn showers around today, most of them in the East but most are dying | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
away now for a dry picture overnight. Lengthy clear spdlls and | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
light winds add up to a fairly chilly night, cold enough for a | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
touch of ground frost in parts of Cumbria and that is probablx where | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
we will see mist and fog patches for me. Tomorrow it is a chilly start | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
but a dry and bright start for most of us and most places should stay | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
bone dry. Patches of cloud coming and going, producing the delight | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
passing shower. Most of us should stay bone dry and plenty of clear | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
sky and sunshine. The best of the sunshine in the afternoon in the | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
eastern areas tomorrow, for a change. Highs of 12 or 13, lid- 0s, | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
and the wind coming from thd north but fairly light. As we head towards | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
the weekend high pressure is established over Scandinavi` and it | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
starts to feed in the easterly wind. Fairly light winds will bring in | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
some cloud and a few showers from time to time. There will be decent | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
spells of dry weather to be had as we head into the weekend. Bdst of | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
the brightness probably in the West on Saturday and the risk of the odd | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
shower in the east. A simil`r picture Full Sutton day. More | :10:56. | :10:56. | |
breezy. Here is the summary. Temperatures up into double figures. | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
The outlook, mostly dry for the next few days. Now the national outlook. | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
Good evening. We are likely to the all colours of the autumn, tomorrow, | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
fog could be | :11:18. | :11:18. |
