:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to South Today. so it's goodbye from me,
:00:00. > :00:07.In tonight's programme: Hundreds of operations are cancelled as two
:00:08. > :00:10.of our hospitals struggle to cope but plans to change the way the NHS
:00:11. > :00:24.cares for patients are already meeting local opposition.
:00:25. > :00:33.I think it really should think again and take on board the value of
:00:34. > :00:35.community hospitals. Our hospitals should have beds.

:00:59. > :01:07.back things change. I felt like I was in a different world. Join me
:01:08. > :01:08.for high tea at Highclere Castle. A piece of real life history has come
:01:09. > :01:14.home. Tonight, two hospitals announce
:01:15. > :01:17.they are cancelling 100 operations to help relieve the workload
:01:18. > :01:22.on their busy emergency departments. They blame unprecedented pressure
:01:23. > :01:24.for having to cancel hip, knee and other orthopaedic surgery
:01:25. > :01:30.in Basingstoke and Winchester. It comes as the NHS tries to change
:01:31. > :01:33.the way it cares for patients - using fewer hospital beds
:01:34. > :01:37.and more community care. We'll be reporting on how those
:01:38. > :01:39.plans are causing protests in Dorset, but first we go live
:01:40. > :01:43.to the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester
:01:44. > :01:44.and our health correspondent, Well, today, yesterday
:01:45. > :01:53.and all of last week, they've been cancelling operations
:01:54. > :01:55.here at Winchester and at It's part of a two-week stoppage
:01:56. > :02:01.of almost all orthopaedic surgery to allow more emergency patients
:02:02. > :02:11.to be treated. By that, I mean finding beds or them
:02:12. > :02:18.because that's the problem. So they're using surgical
:02:19. > :02:20.beds to help take these It's not unusual for
:02:21. > :02:26.hospitals to do this. In the last few weeks,
:02:27. > :02:29.three operations have been cancelled in Poole, ten in Southampton
:02:30. > :02:36.and 11 in Bournemouth. But, of course, the NHS is now
:02:37. > :02:40.planning to cut a lot of hospital beds and hospital services over
:02:41. > :02:43.the next few years and move more It's a campaign that's
:02:44. > :02:58.quickly gained momentum. People here in Shaftesbury
:02:59. > :03:01.in North Dorset are fighting to save 15 beds at the town's
:03:02. > :03:03.Westminster Memorial Hospital. It's an issue that's got
:03:04. > :03:20.the whole town talking. I think it's awful. I want to keep
:03:21. > :03:25.it, absolutely. It must keep going at any cost. We do need a little
:03:26. > :03:28.hospital round here. Shaftesbury covers a wide area.
:03:29. > :03:30.Along with many other parts of the NHS, Dorset's Clinical
:03:31. > :03:32.Commissioning Group is proposing changes to everything
:03:33. > :03:34.from the county's big three acute hospitals
:03:35. > :03:48.The proposal is to keep beds in the community hospitals but to close all
:03:49. > :03:53.15 beds here at the hospital in Shaftesbury. But a range of medical
:03:54. > :03:58.services would still be provided in the town. I think they really should
:03:59. > :04:00.think about and take on board the value of community hospitals. This
:04:01. > :04:02.is a community. The Clinical Commissioning Group
:04:03. > :04:05.argues changes have got to be made because of a rising population,
:04:06. > :04:15.increasing demand and growing Change is always very difficult
:04:16. > :04:20.especially in the local community and I absolutely understand people's
:04:21. > :04:24.fears. I can only reassure them that we are trying to do the best for the
:04:25. > :04:28.widest population in North Dorset. It is not about cutting beds but
:04:29. > :04:31.providing that care in a different manner and keeping people at home.
:04:32. > :04:33.In their campaign HQ in the high street, these people want
:04:34. > :04:35.Dr Yule and her colleagues to have a rethink.
:04:36. > :04:38.So far, around 1500 people in this area have filled
:04:39. > :04:55.Final decisions will be made later this year.
:04:56. > :05:03.The hospital trust here said it was only cancelling these
:05:04. > :05:05.operations because of unprecedented pressures on its
:05:06. > :05:13.That's something I've heard a lot over the past few months.
:05:14. > :05:15.We all know that A are busy places, but this feels
:05:16. > :05:26.The problem is not the A It is the lack of beds for patients to go
:05:27. > :05:29.to. In this hospital and Basingstoke,
:05:30. > :05:31.tonight, there are 80 people who are fit to go home,
:05:32. > :05:40.but are still in beds. Not their fault, but the harsh
:05:41. > :05:42.reality is, if they weren't there, those operations probably
:05:43. > :05:49.wouldn't be cancelled. So how is reducing the number of
:05:50. > :05:57.beds going to help all of this? This is the plan the NHS
:05:58. > :06:03.is grappling with - how to keep hospital beds for people
:06:04. > :06:06.who really need them but, at the same time, making
:06:07. > :06:08.sure that vulnerable, frail patients who are medically fit
:06:09. > :06:20.are still properly looked after. There is a lot of work being done on
:06:21. > :06:22.that in the moment, a lot of good ideas, we will have to see if it
:06:23. > :06:25.happens, as they hope it will. Across the world, it's estimated
:06:26. > :06:28.that up to 1.2 billion people live That's equivalent to
:06:29. > :06:31.the population of China. In the UK, around one in five people
:06:32. > :06:34.is classed as having a disability and is less likely to be
:06:35. > :06:37.in employment as a result. Disabilities can take
:06:38. > :06:39.different forms but, for those who have lost a limb,

:07:07. > :07:09.early prosthetic leg - it dates back to the 1930s -

:07:35. > :07:37.some sort of job, then I'd rather be working than sat

:07:55. > :08:03.by the society is huge. So, in a way, by reducing the cost
:08:04. > :08:07.of care, the long-term cost of care, all of these little factors,
:08:08. > :08:09.when you add them up, Over time, the technology

:08:30. > :08:32.with are extremely good They will get better
:08:33. > :08:39.but they work pretty well now. These advances have cut the cost
:08:40. > :08:42.of long-term care and enabled patients to continue an active
:08:43. > :08:46.working life, but It's estimated that there
:08:47. > :08:50.are 10 million people in need of a prosthesis in Asia and Africa

:09:01. > :09:05.that he's holding down two jobs. How extensive is the support
:09:06. > :09:09.on offer across the economy? Well, Blatchford are a leading
:09:10. > :09:11.provider of technology and services for patients with limb loss
:09:12. > :09:14.and our aim is to try to make sure they lead as full
:09:15. > :09:18.and as active a life as possible. Within the UK, there are around
:09:19. > :09:23.44,000 active amputees, and we believe that there

:09:27. > :09:28.from the use of new technologies to improve their lives
:09:29. > :09:32.and be able to fulfil So what's the demand

:09:39. > :09:41.there are millions of patients The increase in peripheral vascular

:10:12. > :10:31.at a month old is raising money to buy a cuddle cot to help other
:10:32. > :10:34.bereaved parents in West Berkshire. These specially adapted cribs allow
:10:35. > :10:36.babies to be brought home after they've died so family members
:10:37. > :10:39.can spend a little time with them. We didn't want to lose our son
:10:40. > :10:44.and we fought for him as hard as we could and he fought as hard
:10:45. > :10:48.as he could but it got to the point where we couldn't push him any more
:10:49. > :10:51.and he was really struggling. Beau was just a month
:10:52. > :10:53.old when he died. He'd been born with a heart defect
:10:54. > :10:55.that couldn't be repaired. As his health worsened in hospital,
:10:56. > :11:00.his parents had to say goodbye. We did spend time with Beau before
:11:01. > :11:03.he passed away and then, within probably two hours,
:11:04. > :11:06.he was taken away from us They were then offered the chance
:11:07. > :11:12.to take Beau to a hospice to spend time with him
:11:13. > :11:15.in a special cool room. But they had his twin sister to care
:11:16. > :11:19.for so they couldn't. There's one at Naomi House
:11:20. > :11:33.Hospice near Winchester. Because it's portable and movable,
:11:34. > :11:36.they can lift the cuddle cot out, wrap it around the baby or the child
:11:37. > :11:40.and then cuddle their baby as opposed to a very sudden one
:11:41. > :11:43.minute the child is alive and with you and the next
:11:44. > :11:48.minute they've gone away, But that little time with the child
:11:49. > :11:54.after they've died helps the family to start to come to terms
:11:55. > :12:01.with where they are now. Charlene is busy bringing up
:12:02. > :12:04.Beau's twin sister, Esme, but she's also raising funds to pay
:12:05. > :12:08.for a portable cuddle cot for use I think it would have been lovely
:12:09. > :12:29.to have him home, you know. Probably the saddest thing
:12:30. > :12:31.was leaving him at hospital, knowing that we had to come home,

:22:18. > :22:19.around the time the ITV drama that's filmed there was first set.
:22:20. > :22:22.The album contains 44 photographs of the 80-bedroom house,
:22:23. > :22:25.staff and grounds, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives
:22:26. > :22:29.of the fifth Earl of Carnarvon, who was best known for helping
:22:30. > :22:32.to discover the Egyptian tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922.
:22:33. > :22:55.A special delivery is one of the UK's most recognisable house is.
:22:56. > :22:59.Thank you. An album that provides a window into the real-life Downton
:23:00. > :23:04.Abbey is returning home after more than a century. It is like a jigsaw
:23:05. > :23:08.puzzle and you were trying to piece things back together again, figure
:23:09. > :23:15.out who was here, the names and if you were not quite sure of
:23:16. > :23:20.something, the piano, I have put in the drawing-room. The 1895 album the
:23:21. > :23:26.44 photographs was found in a normal house clearance in Dorset. The
:23:27. > :23:30.reason why was there is yet known. I am not sure whether that was
:23:31. > :23:35.Streatfeild, the butler. It was set to go under the hammer with a ?500
:23:36. > :23:39.price tag but despite huge interest from around the world it has been
:23:40. > :23:45.sold privately to the Highclere estate. Everybody has been delighted
:23:46. > :23:50.with the outcome, it has come back. But it could have gone to an
:23:51. > :23:59.American bidder. It may well have done but sometimes what is so nice
:24:00. > :24:04.is it is not all about money. As the ITV series follows the Earl of
:24:05. > :24:07.Grantham and his family, this album features a snapshot of the life that
:24:08. > :24:15.the fifth Earl, George Herbert and his wife. The famously bankrolled
:24:16. > :24:20.Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in the 1920s. It
:24:21. > :24:28.also marks a visitor Prince Edwards. But it is not just the aristocracy
:24:29. > :24:32.featured here. In 1895, Highclere would have been working house and
:24:33. > :24:35.would have been 60 members of staff here and interestingly this album
:24:36. > :24:37.also shows what life would have been 60 members of staff here and
:24:38. > :24:42.interestingly this album also shows what life would be like backstairs.
:24:43. > :24:48.I know my place! I think that is what makes these house is live.
:24:49. > :24:52.Louis and Georgian everybody... That is how it works. The photos could be
