:00:11. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: it is a bit
:00:22. > :00:26.like an all you can eat buffet. What we must do is persuade people that
:00:27. > :00:31.you cannot consume more than they need to. We examine the state of our
:00:32. > :00:34.NHS ` as one senior health lanager says we need to start treathng it
:00:35. > :00:38.differently. And we go behind the front line ` with patients `nd staff
:00:39. > :00:41.at A It is frustrating to staff who feel that every time thdy come
:00:42. > :00:44.to work, their best work is being compromised. We'll be asking the
:00:45. > :00:47.chairman of one of our NHS trusts about the symptoms and treatments of
:00:48. > :00:52.a service under strain. Also tonight: Speed up High Speed 2. The
:00:53. > :00:55.new boss of HS2 says he wants building work north of Birmhngham
:00:56. > :00:58.brought forward. If at first you don't succeed try, try and try again
:00:59. > :01:03.` after eight games in charge, West Brom's boss Pepe Mel gets a win And
:01:04. > :01:06.have we started the week as we mean to go on? After such a glorhous
:01:07. > :01:08.weekend, the effects of which are still evident, can it last? I'll
:01:09. > :01:27.have more for you later. Good evening. A senior manager in
:01:28. > :01:30.the NHS is warning patients they need to stop treating the hdalth
:01:31. > :01:33.service as an "all you can dat buffet." Andy Donald is responsible
:01:34. > :01:36.for commissioning health services across Stafford and Cannock ` and is
:01:37. > :01:39.already facing up to a ?15 lillion deficit. His warning comes `s
:01:40. > :01:42.hospitals throughout the West Midlands face being downgraded, with
:01:43. > :01:46.more private sector involvelent in health care. So what is the future
:01:47. > :01:47.looking like for the NHS? Otr health correspondent Michele Paduano has
:01:48. > :01:57.been investigating. This care centre In Nuneaton's
:01:58. > :02:02.George Eliot Hospital works to keep patients out of A E and ott of a
:02:03. > :02:05.hospital bed. For Amanda King with an autistic son, spending wdeks in
:02:06. > :02:14.hospital receiving anti`biotics is not an option. It upsets all the
:02:15. > :02:20.routines, and being able to do this everyday, and then walk awax again,
:02:21. > :02:23.it is better than being in hospital. The George Eliot Hospital is having
:02:24. > :02:27.to change. It has already admitted that with cuts it can't copd
:02:28. > :02:30.financially. It's having to lose 140 beds and is about to be takdn over
:02:31. > :02:33.with the private sector plaxing a role. The Chief Executive hdre
:02:34. > :02:44.believes a general hospital will survive. The site will be rdduced,
:02:45. > :02:48.but we see this as being better in future, we may have social care
:02:49. > :02:52.facilities, and it will become much more the health part, rather than a
:02:53. > :02:55.district general hospital. With less money, the NHS is stretched. In
:02:56. > :02:58.Cannock and Stafford, they have a ?15 million deficit. The warning
:02:59. > :03:09.here is stark. Public attittdes have to change. The way the health
:03:10. > :03:14.service is structured, it is like an all`you`can`eat buffet. What we have
:03:15. > :03:19.to do is persuade people th`t they can not consume more than they need
:03:20. > :03:23.to. And this analyst believds that like in A waiting lists across the
:03:24. > :03:30.region are creaking, the 18`week target for treatment will f`ll
:03:31. > :03:34.sometime soon. If the waiting list keeps on growing, the presstre will
:03:35. > :03:38.be so big that they will not be ever to hold 18 weeks, and it is going to
:03:39. > :03:41.preach. It is possible that that will happen this year. In
:03:42. > :03:43.Stoke`on`Trent, they are medting their radiotherapy targets, Cancer
:03:44. > :03:47.patients here are unlikely to see major changes to hospital in patient
:03:48. > :03:49.services soon, but a ?1.2 bhllion contract has been advertised to
:03:50. > :03:59.manage all cancer services `cross Staffordshire for the next ten
:04:00. > :04:09.years. There are likely to be more of these block contracts in future.
:04:10. > :04:14.There are the macro the ide` is more streamlined services. Some see it as
:04:15. > :04:17.privatisation. In future, chemotherapy patients may rdceive
:04:18. > :04:19.treatment at home. The idea is that greater competition, bigger
:04:20. > :04:23.contracts and doing work outside hospital will all drive down costs.
:04:24. > :04:32.NHS cancer patients in Stokd were quite relaxed about the new cancer
:04:33. > :04:35.contract. I have a good tre`tment with the NHS, and I feel like if
:04:36. > :04:40.they can and it as good as that then that is OK. If they can plough
:04:41. > :04:43.more money into it, it will be even better. As the NHS grapples with its
:04:44. > :04:46.greatest financial challengd and a revolution takes place in hdalth
:04:47. > :04:50.care, we are being warned that hospitals are only for the very sick
:04:51. > :04:54.and more care has to happen elsewhere.
:04:55. > :04:59.In the first week of March, 408 000 people visited A in hospitals
:05:00. > :05:05.across England. That's the highest number this winter, 95% of patients
:05:06. > :05:09.were seen within four hours. So what's the reality of life hn A E
:05:10. > :05:13.for staff and patients? We spent a day at Birmingham's QE Hosphtal and
:05:14. > :05:16.Worcestershire Royal to find out. Ben Godfrey reports.
:05:17. > :05:20.It's Friday night at the Worcestershire Royal Hospit`l
:05:21. > :05:29.emergency unit ` and the corridors are heaving. Have you had any
:05:30. > :05:33.painkillers? Dormston Cook hs waiting for a CT scan after
:05:34. > :05:39.experiencing severe headachds. It is not great. I have had conversations
:05:40. > :05:42.with a few people here. There is no dignity in corridors. Last week
:05:43. > :05:47.alone, 48 patients were waiting on trollies here for between four and
:05:48. > :05:55.12 hours. Patients are coming into the pub department from GPs, and we
:05:56. > :05:57.are not being able to move patients through into the hospital bdds are
:05:58. > :06:01.required. There have been albulances queuing outside. An overcrowded A
:06:02. > :06:09.and E is also affecting staff morale. It becomes very frustrating
:06:10. > :06:17.for staff, who feel that thd care they give, despite their best
:06:18. > :06:19.efforts, it's always been, Like I have been waiting but only ten
:06:20. > :06:41.years. `` ten minutes. Some say A and E is fast becoming a
:06:42. > :06:44.lottery of care. In Birmingham, we spent five hours on friday `fternoon
:06:45. > :06:48.at the Queen Elizabeth Hosphtal A E has only been open four ydars
:06:49. > :06:51.There are 16 large bays for patients ` and they've increased senhor
:06:52. > :06:54.staffing levels by 20 per cdnt. On one night last week, they s`w 3
:06:55. > :07:03.patients in a single hour when 6 is the norm. Friday is considerably
:07:04. > :07:06.quieter. We are seeing patidnts from GPs and other hospitals, and they
:07:07. > :07:11.are presented because they cannot get access to primary health care.
:07:12. > :07:17.Beryl Gaunt fell over at hole and has a fractured pelvis. I al fed up,
:07:18. > :07:21.because I cannot move. I cannot move my legs at the moment. Last week,
:07:22. > :07:26.the QE beat the Government target of seeing 95 per cent of patients
:07:27. > :07:28.within four hours. They all seem perfectly normal. Jonathan Forber's
:07:29. > :07:34.discovered the 20kg weight he dropped on his foot at the gym
:07:35. > :07:38.hasn't cracked any bones. I came in one in the morning, and the average
:07:39. > :07:43.waiting time was three or four hours. I got seen within 40 minutes.
:07:44. > :07:47.It's clear that some A are struggling to meet excessivd demand.
:07:48. > :07:51.These are the pictures that no one wants to see. As a patient, where
:07:52. > :08:06.are you heading, a cubicle or the corridor? I'm joined now by Lord
:08:07. > :08:12.Hunt of Kings Heath. Thank xou for joining us. We saw two reports which
:08:13. > :08:16.highlight the financial pressure and the increasing number of people
:08:17. > :08:28.turning up to AMD. Is that picture you recognise? I have been talking
:08:29. > :08:33.about twin pressures. There are many different illnesses, but also, the
:08:34. > :08:36.pressure of resources, and loney getting tighter and tighter.
:08:37. > :08:40.Something has to give if we are going to meet the tremendous demand
:08:41. > :08:50.that are being placed upon ts at the moment. What will give? What was
:08:51. > :08:55.described as the options? The key thing we have to do is to change the
:08:56. > :08:59.way the house `` NHS is run. We have older people coming into our
:09:00. > :09:02.hospital who do not need to be there, but once they get adlitted to
:09:03. > :09:09.hospital, they often stay too long. What we need to do is to sed much
:09:10. > :09:13.greater investment in community care and primary care, so hospit`ls go
:09:14. > :09:18.back to places where people get acute care, but they do not get
:09:19. > :09:23.stuck for days, because there is not all provision in the communhty. Big
:09:24. > :09:27.changes in the NHS itself. But what about the suggestion from Andy
:09:28. > :09:34.Donald where some patients `re being treating it as an all you c`n eat
:09:35. > :09:39.but I? Taking more they need? I am not sure that I agree with that If
:09:40. > :09:44.you go round and meet the p`tients, you would find that they had
:09:45. > :09:48.illnesses that needed to be treated. I think it is not a problem that we
:09:49. > :09:56.need to reshape the way we run our services. At the moment, AMD
:09:57. > :10:00.departments `` A departments are open 24 hours a day, and other bits
:10:01. > :10:05.of the service are not. Bec`use of that, too many people are coming
:10:06. > :10:08.through the doors of A, and once they get there, they tend to be
:10:09. > :10:12.admitted into hospital. That is something we have to change. We have
:10:13. > :10:16.two have much more accessible primary care, safe and see xour GP
:10:17. > :10:20.is more hours of the day. Mtch better community provisions, so that
:10:21. > :10:25.if you are a older person, xou do not need to be treated in hospital,
:10:26. > :10:35.but you can get back care. The problem at the moment is thd acute
:10:36. > :10:37.problems, that the hospital is expected to deal with all of the
:10:38. > :10:47.problems. Coming up later in the programme. A
:10:48. > :10:50.revolution in infection detdction ` using high powered computers and DNA
:10:51. > :10:52.analysis. Building work on the northern section of the ?50bn
:10:53. > :10:55.high`speed rail project shotld be accelerated, the chairman of HS
:10:56. > :10:59.said today. Sir David Higgins said the initial part of the project
:11:00. > :11:02.should run from London to Crewe by 2027, instead of merely reaching
:11:03. > :11:05.Birmingham by 2026. Sir Davhd said the second phase of HS2 could then
:11:06. > :11:08.be completed by 2030 instead of 2033. Our transport correspondent
:11:09. > :11:12.Peter Plisner is at Curzon Street in Birmingham, which would be the site
:11:13. > :11:14.of the main station for High Speed Two. Peter ` what's the thinking
:11:15. > :11:39.behind this idea? This was published earlier today. It
:11:40. > :11:47.is about reducing the cost. The heart should be 43 miles north at
:11:48. > :11:55.Crewe. Does that leave Birmhngham being bypassed? I spoke to said
:11:56. > :12:01.David Higgins. No. Birmingh`m will be the operation will centrd of the
:12:02. > :12:07.High Speed 2 network. It is geographically centred round
:12:08. > :12:13.Birmingham. One Stoke MP who has been campaigning for a stathon there
:12:14. > :12:16.accuses David Higgins of ignoring the city's need for a station.
:12:17. > :12:22.Ignored or not, these are only proposals, and they will nedd to be
:12:23. > :12:33.consulted upon. Joining me hs a campaign against HS2. It dods not
:12:34. > :12:40.save a single penny of the cost of HS2. All it has done is get rid of
:12:41. > :12:43.the part of the connectivitx. That takes ?700 million of the cost. The
:12:44. > :12:48.cost to stay the same. You have to remember that these are 2010 costs.
:12:49. > :12:51.By building a quicker, you can save the money, reducing the inflation,
:12:52. > :12:58.but they had not included inflation in the first place! Is it
:12:59. > :13:04.irrelevant? But we need cap`city. We can deliver the capacity to
:13:05. > :13:08.commuters needing short distances. We need to invest in the mahn
:13:09. > :13:18.infrastructure. We can do that cheaper, quicker and far more
:13:19. > :13:27.people. A hybrid Bill is in parliament. MPs are having their say
:13:28. > :13:29.on the project. Four people have been arrested on suspicion of child
:13:30. > :13:33.trafficking and sex offences. Two women and two men, aged between 19
:13:34. > :13:36.and 45, remain in police custody after raids on two propertids in

:17:03. > :17:13.Mulumbu ` so often vital for Albion ` proved a cool finish to ghve
:17:14. > :17:19.Albion an important 2`1 win. We saw so much trouble in the newspaper. We
:17:20. > :17:23.tried to clear our heads, and to play to stay in the Premier league,
:17:24. > :17:37.and to day, I saw a team th`t wants to survive. I am pleased for the
:17:38. > :17:44.fans. They worked very hard. The fans were very kind with me. Stoke
:17:45. > :17:48.City also won after falling behind to West Ham. Their first was all

:19:42. > :19:46.Earlier in the programme we were looking at the state of our health

:19:50. > :19:52.Our Science Correspondent D`vid Gregory`Kumar has been lookhng at
:19:53. > :19:55.the future of the NHS and in particular revolutionary new ways
:19:56. > :19:57.for doctors and hospitals to track and tackle potentially deadly
:19:58. > :20:01.infections. When you're sick doctors want to learn all they can `bout any
:20:02. > :20:06.infection. They may take a sample and then use a petri dish to grow up
:20:07. > :20:09.a culture and analyse the rdsult to learn more about what's wrong with
:20:10. > :20:14.you. And this process is unchanged in well over a century. But it's not
:20:15. > :20:19.always easy to do. Although some bacteria will grow readily overnight
:20:20. > :20:23.for example, there are many other bacteria where you need to have
:20:24. > :20:28.special atmospheric conditions, special growth media, or yot may
:20:29. > :20:33.look to grow them for longer periods of time. For example, tuberculosis,
:20:34. > :20:36.it may take a couple of weeks, to grow the bacteria before yot can
:20:37. > :20:40.make the diagnosis. But the University of Warwick want to get
:20:41. > :20:43.rid of the petri dish compldtely. And instead turn to massive amounts
:20:44. > :20:46.of computer power and ever hmproving DNA analysis using machines like
:20:47. > :20:50.this. Here's how this new approach to finding infection could work for
:20:51. > :20:55.a group of people with a mystery illness. You still take pathent
:20:56. > :20:58.samples. And they're full of all sorts of DNA, from the patidnt, from
:20:59. > :21:02.the bacteria causing the illness and more besides. And you extract all of
:21:03. > :21:06.that DNA. Creating a big mix. A real DNA soup. You then apply th`t
:21:07. > :21:09.massive computing power and use it to narrow down the search for the
