:02:17. > :02:19.and what action should be taken in future.
:02:20. > :02:22.Normally, these kinds of measures are only brought in on roads
:02:23. > :02:25.which are proved to be dangerous in the long-term.
:02:26. > :02:28.Yes, but why wait until an accident happens because somebody
:02:29. > :02:33.So we don't want to wait until that happens, do we?
:02:34. > :02:35.But without the report, the council can't start to assess

:04:37. > :04:40.are four consecutive days when normal general
:04:41. > :04:46.We do have the out of hours service who provide general practice 24/7,
:04:47. > :04:49.but it is not the same and doesn't have the same capacity.
:04:50. > :04:53.And so, this weekend is always more pressured.
:04:54. > :04:57.What are the knock-on effects if the A does become over busy?
:04:58. > :05:00.Knock-on effects is that consultant doctors are spending more time
:05:01. > :05:05.with patients who have a lower level of need that can be managed
:05:06. > :05:14.elsewhere which means that it often takes longer to see a patients
:05:15. > :05:17.elsewhere which means that it often takes longer to see a patient
:05:18. > :05:20.Clearly they are prioritised by their need but patients who spend
:05:21. > :05:23.longer in the A departments will spend longer in hospital
:05:24. > :05:25.and that knocks on to problems across the system over
:05:26. > :05:29.So could it create a backlog and we could see another winter crisis?
:05:30. > :05:32.I don't think we'll see a winter crisis because we know
:05:33. > :05:34.that the level of illness at the present time is lower,
:05:35. > :05:37.but it would put big pressure on the system.
:05:38. > :05:40.I don't see us going to escalation in the way that we did before.
:05:41. > :05:42.Some people might argue why not take on extra staff?
:05:43. > :05:46.It's really clear that there are some very skilled
:05:47. > :05:48.locums but in general, if you know your own department,
:05:49. > :05:51.if you work in a team, if you know the equipment,
:05:52. > :05:52.the people, you're much more effective.
:05:53. > :05:56.There are plans to get senior staff in and link the staff over this
:05:57. > :05:58.period of time but locums don't necessarily help.
:05:59. > :06:00.You're asking patients to go and see pharmacists.
:06:01. > :06:03.Do they have the medical history of people?
:06:04. > :06:05.They don't have the medical history, but what they're looking
:06:06. > :06:08.at is supporting patients who have the simplest level of need.
:06:09. > :06:12.They have an extended training and additional training
:06:13. > :06:14.around minor illness, so simple things like
:06:15. > :06:17.conjunctivitis, looking at rashes, coughs, colds, many of the things
:06:18. > :06:23.That means the out of hours service can concentrate
:06:24. > :06:25.on many of the illnesses where patients often
:06:26. > :06:31.First thing is to talk to family, talk to family,
:06:32. > :06:35.get the best advice from them, then I'd talk to pharmacy.
:06:36. > :06:42.But also, through 111, patients can be assessed
:06:43. > :06:46.and their need looked at carefully to see where it can be better
:06:47. > :06:50.provided and often that's not in the A department.

:07:10. > :07:12.available on the NHS, so musicians are
:07:13. > :07:18.And I hope that you make your own video of your own acrobat challenge.

:07:36. > :07:55.Playing a piece of music called The Acrobat on line and then
:07:56. > :08:02.And all to raise money for this man - a talented trombonist himself now
:08:03. > :08:05.seriously ill with Hodgkins Lymphoma.
:08:06. > :08:11.In fact, they have all been really good.
:08:12. > :08:16.that it is making my hair fall out now(!)
:08:17. > :08:21.Someone was playing a carrot and a red pepper.
:08:22. > :08:25.Then we had a family from Wincanton in the garden
:08:26. > :08:31.with their grandchildren and I think they were playing watering cans.
:08:32. > :08:34.The Acrobat Challenge, which aims to raise ?90,000
:08:35. > :08:38.for radical cancer treatment, was the idea of another trombonist
:08:39. > :08:43.from Cambridgeshire who just wanted to do something to help.
:08:44. > :08:46.And wanting to aim it at trombonists and thinking about the internet
:08:47. > :08:50.The Acrobat is a really famous trombone solo so it just popped
:08:51. > :08:55.into my head and it sounded good, the Acrobat challenge.
:08:56. > :09:04.And apparently the tune is so simple anyone can do it.
:09:05. > :09:25.Forest Green Rovers face an important match tonight
:09:26. > :09:27.as they look to gain their first ever promotion into
:09:28. > :09:33.They take on Tranmere Rovers who are directly above them in second.
:09:34. > :09:38.A win would go a long way to confirming their place in the end
:09:39. > :09:43.There's more news on the BBC Website and of course on your local
:09:44. > :09:54.But for now I'll say goodnight and leave you with Ian
:09:55. > :10:02.Thanks very much. Hello, everybody. The forecast for tomorrow, there
:10:03. > :10:07.will be some key differences to today. Primarily, a breezy day and
:10:08. > :10:11.also for the most part, cloudy one as well. Some sunnier phases but
:10:12. > :10:15.later through the afternoon that cloud tending to thicken up from the
:10:16. > :10:19.north as a weak front arrives and that introduces a few light showers
:10:20. > :10:22.but not many of them, so a very small amount of rain where you
:10:23. > :10:26.happen to get that through tomorrow. At the moment, the moon shining
:10:27. > :10:33.brightly once again. Temperatures will drop 5-7 for most. By the tail
:10:34. > :10:38.end of the night, the breeze will have picked up. The odd spot of
:10:39. > :10:42.light rain. Most areas will start dry and should remain that way as we
:10:43. > :10:48.progress through the rest of the morning and into a good part of the
:10:49. > :10:50.afternoon. The cloud will thicken into Gloucestershire through the
:10:51. > :10:55.afternoon. A few showers southwards. None of those will be particularly
:10:56. > :10:58.dramatic by any means and most of you will miss them entirely.
:10:59. > :11:05.Temperatures tomorrow, 11-14. rain but it will be brighter later.
:11:06. > :11:12.On Sunday, on the cool side for East itself.
:11:13. > :11:25.Good evening. Grace of all it -- it is greatest of all in Scotland. A
:11:26. > :11:29.weather front is on the move. The rain edging down into south-western
:11:30. > :11:36.parts of Scotland and northern Ireland. Much of England and Wales
:11:37. > :11:39.will have a dry note but not quite as Chile to start tomorrow. Let's
:11:40. > :11:43.deal with the wet weather first thing tomorrow. It will be a damp
:11:44. > :11:50.start for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Heaviest rain on the hills
:11:51. > :11:57.towards the coast and east of the Pennines, not too much rain at all.
:11:58. > :12:02.Southern parts of England and Wales, some more cloud with sunny spells.
:12:03. > :12:07.Most places dry with an isolated shower or two. The weather front
:12:08. > :12:09.edges into the Midlands and Wales and East
