Do we ourselves to be more important than we really are in international | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening and welcome to the late Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight: How deep is the crisis in Yorkshire's care home industry? | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Our cameras get round-the-clock access to a residential home. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
And customers see red as the last two banks in Elland make | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
a controversial withdrawal from the High Street. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
The weather is changing overnight. The forecast shortly. | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
First tonight, just how much pressure are our care homes under? | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Research by BBC Yorkshire has revealed that the | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Figures show that an extra 5,000 social care workers have been | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
recruited in our region over the past three years | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
That should mean the number of vacancies is falling - | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
Now that number has doubled to over 6,000. | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
Meanwhile, in homes across our region | :01:02. | :01:02. | |
the figure for staff turnover is 28% - | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
That's more than 90 social care workers in Yorkshire | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
Carla Fowler was invited into St Cecilia's home | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
in Scarborough to see what life is like on the care | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Day shift starts at 7.15 here at St Cecilia's nursing | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
Sue is due to have her weekly shower this morning | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
but first she must take her medication. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
This is a medium-sized home, housing in total around 40 | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Each have different, complex needs, ranging from dementia | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
This is the constant soundtrack to their lives. | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
Room buzzers calling for help 24 hours a day, seven days a week. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Normally eight care workers and two nurses staff | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
a morning shift but today Sue Gregory | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
Because the population has got bigger hospitals can't keep them | :01:56. | :02:09. | |
so the nurses are taking more, what they would not | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
There is a chronic national shortage of | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
nurses, and since the Brexit vote, nursing applicants from the EU have | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
St Cecilia's just can't recruit enough. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
It's the health care assistants, or HCAs | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
who look after all the needs of the residents. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
When you're rushing around you can't always get to everyone on time. | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
It's quite upsetting and disheartening when you | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
find out that people earn more just stacking shelves, | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
You're not falling, you're all right. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
The care sector is quite like a dead end job. | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
I know it sounds horrible but you can't | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
I love my job, don't get me wrong, but it's not what I want to | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
So far it's what I want to do forever. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Most care workers are paid just above the minimum wage. | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
The local authority pays St Cecilia's | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
around ?500 per week for one person's 24/7 care. | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
There is not enough money for more staff. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
The smallest providers are the ones that are | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
That is what we have had to do in this instance is to | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
There is a lot of small operators in this town. | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
The way things are going we are going to | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
lose a few in the next couple of years. | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Meanwhile, social services and hospitals | :03:49. | :03:49. | |
call two or three times a | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Yes, but I've had to put them off because we've already just had one | :03:52. | :04:04. | |
There's another one supposed to be coming but we've no | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
idea what is going on with the hospital. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Tonight's on shift nurse has called in sick. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
An agency nurse has had to be drafted in. | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
She's the clinical lead for the night in a home she's | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
Is this the cupboard for the medications? | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
Just being an agency nurse, this is the sort of thing | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
I have had the handover from the day staff so I am quite | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
There are concerns EU carers like her will become | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
increasingly scarce as Brexit progresses. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Every resident here is somebody's mother, father, loved one. | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
But often those closest to them are the workers who care. | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
The Government says it's investing an extra ?2 billion | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
in the industry over the next three years. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Mike Padgham owns the care home featured in Carla's report. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
At the time of economic crisis that we've got, | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
local authorities who purchase most of the care across the country, | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
and in North Yorkshire particularly, are strapped for cash themselves. | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
The Government says it's given them 2 billion extra | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
but that's not enough, that only gets us back | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
We get just under ?3 per hour to look after those with dementia. | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
We want to pay staff ?9 or ?10 per hour. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
The trouble with our society is that we do not register that kind | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Social care has always been a Cinderella service. | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
Doctors and nurses do a fantastic job, but social care | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
We need to get more on board, they need to earn more | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
What better way of doing things could there be than that? | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
Next tonight, concerns are being raised about the closure | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
of the last two remaining bank branches in a West | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Both Barclays and Halifax are moving out of Elland this summer. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Five years ago there were 848 bank branches | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
That's a decrease of more than a quarter. | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
51 building society and bank branches have closed | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
Elland, a picturesque market town in Calderdale. | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
But within the next few months two of its last remaining | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
banks will shut their doors for good. | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
We are losing two banks in the space of a month, | :06:40. | :06:52. | |
It is going to ruin the town even more than it already is. | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
How is the town supposed to live without any banks? | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
People in Elland need our banks here. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
I've got a disabled father and the only way I can get him | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
Moving it to Halifax town centre has flummoxed me. | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
People aren't just complaining about the closure of banks. | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
They're concerned about the lack of investment in their local area, | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
which they fear could mean the demise of the town. | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
We've seen no investment in Elland town centre at all and as a result | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
we've got less and less people coming here, and now that banks | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
are closing that's one less thing for them to come to as well. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
on the 15th of August, but even sooner, Barclays | :07:42. | :08:06. | |
Then customers will have to use an alternative branch. | :08:07. | :08:16. | |
An inquest into the death of a kickboxer from Sheffield has been | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
14-year-old Scott Marsden collapsed while competing | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
The inquest heard he'd been fighting someone | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
of a similar age and size, and was wearing | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
The flick of an electric switch is likely to have caused a gas | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
explosion that killed a man in his home near York last year. | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
An inquest jury decided that Paul Wilmott - who was 63 - | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
was killed accidentally in the massive blast | :08:43. | :08:43. | |
The leak rate was fairly quick and could have created a flammable | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
We don't know exactly how long it was | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
leaking for but it is possible there was a smell of gas there that | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Here is the weather. You said earlier my suit was | :09:02. | :09:22. | |
aquamarine. That is your opinion. It looks very nice. | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
Whether overnight, we are in for a bit of a change. Over the next | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
couple of days we are moving in to something, not less settled, but not | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
as dry overnight. Winds potentially as dry overnight. Winds potentially | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
getting blustery at times. A bit of rain creeping end from the north. It | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
will be plastered it. Laws of eight Celsius. This rain slowly sinks | :09:56. | :10:07. | |
southwards. First thing we could see heavy spells of rain combined with | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
those blustery wince. They in the afternoon it is looking better. Dry | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
weather. I cannot promise prolonged sunshine for everyone but we will | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
see Sunny spells by the time we get to the afternoon. Parts of East | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Yorkshire and South Yorkshire getting the best weather. Look at | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
the wind. It is still blustery. Over the next few days this ridge of high | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
pressure to the site is getting squashed away and as we look ahead | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
towards the weekend there are a couple of weather fronts coming our | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
way. It is not a completely dry story, however thanks to the | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
influence of high pressure, we will see a largely dry story over the | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
next couple of days, often cloudy, we will see some rain, it will be | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
easy at times. He is the outlook. rain but it will be brighter later. | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
On Sunday, on the cool side for East itself. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
Good evening. Grace of all it -- it is greatest of all in Scotland. A | :11:15. | :11:27. | |
weather front is on the move. The rain edging down into south-western | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
parts of Scotland and northern Ireland. Much of England and Wales | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
will have a dry note but not quite as Chile to start tomorrow. Let's | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
deal with the wet weather first thing tomorrow. It will be a damp | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
start for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Heaviest rain on the hills | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
towards the coast and east of the Pennines, not too much rain at all. | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Southern | :11:57. | :11:58. |
