There are concerns tonight over the drain of doctors from general | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
practice surgeries in the south-west after new research has revealed that | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
4 in 10 GPs plan to quit within five years. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
The research has been done at the University | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Reasons given for leaving overwork and long hours, leading to | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
NHS England says it is working to support GPs and is trying | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
Our GP is often the most familiar face in the NHS | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
and accounts for 90% of contact with health services. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
But within a few years a report by the | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
University of Exeter Medical School warns | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
family doctors, making existing problems worse. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
People are already having to wait quite substantially | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
for routine appointments and I think the pressure on those routine | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
There needs to be a fundamental change in | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
the approach of Government towards healt care in the UK. | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
the approach of Government towards health care in the UK. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
The system at the minute is just underfunded. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
The problem of GP retention is particularly acute in Plymouth, and | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
has been affecting patients at this surgery for 18 months. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
I'm going away on a trip for a month and I had | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
to wait a few weeks still for my jabs and even then they still have | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
to spread it out a little bit, so it is cutting it fine. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Things are no better since a survey carried out | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
We have lost our senior partner because he retired | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
and one of our other partners decided life was tough as a GP | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
decided to step aside, so we put out a national advert and | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
local advert for vacancies and have been unseccessful. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
NHS England says that it is already working to support existing GPs, | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
encourage people back into the profession, | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
We are looking at how we support primary care with a whole range of | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
professions, because clearly general practice is important, but also | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
supporting that with pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and other | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
professionals who can support the work force. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
There are plans to train them about 5,000 GPs by 2020, but | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
will this be enough to compensate for the numbers leaving the | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
1% of GPs in England dropped out in the last three months | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
So it could be a case of the doctor will not see you now, | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
The only residential care home on the Isles of Scilly has | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
Last month, the council announced that Park House in | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
St Mary's would shut in June because of problems recruiting | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
Now, it says the publicity surrounding the closure has led to a | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
rise in the number of people applying for jobs, and it's agreed | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
to pay care workers a supplement on top of their wages to make | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Prosecutors will be asked to decide whether Devon and Cornwall's Police | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
and Crime Commissioner, Alison Hernandez, should be charged | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
with false accounting in the 2015 general election. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
At the time Ms Hernandez was the Conservative | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
The Police And Crime Commisioner's office today said this development | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
would not prevent her doing her job and that people were | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
With the details here's our Home Affairs Correspondent Simon Hall. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
This is a significant development in the investigation into Alison | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
But it is also one that has been marked by the way in which her | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
The expenses controversy has dogged Alison Hernandez since her election | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
Now the issue is being referred to the Crown Prosecution | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Service to decide whether to charge Ms | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
She would not be interviewed today, but | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
the chief executive of her office told me the development would not | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
She has had this investigation for a year | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
already, and she has had a very good first year, | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
so she has had a comprehensive police and crime plan published. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
In February, she provided the Chief Constable with a budget | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
that will enable him to recruit 100 additional police officers, more | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
criminal investigation, lots of other investment, so she is doing | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
This is not impacting on her ability to do the role. | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
The allegations focus on the Conservatives' use | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Expenses for activists brought in to Torbay to campaign were | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
declared nationally, when critics said they should have been part | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
As Conservative agent in Torbay, Alison | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
Hernandez was responsible for spreading there. | :04:57. | :05:09. | |
I would urge you to seriously | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
to enable somebody else to take on the role. | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
On a Sunday Politics programme, before the referral to prosecutors, | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Alison Hernandez insisted the ongoing investigation had not | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
Interestingly, the bit that has been so positive | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
about it is the publicity that I have received because of that. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
I can lock down Newquay High Street, and I | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
will be stopped by people who need my help. | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
In a statement, the Independent Police Complaints | :05:33. | :05:33. | |
Alison Hernandez has always denied any wrongdoing in | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
It is unclear how long it will take prosecutors to decide | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
whether to bring charges against Ms Hernandez. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
It has already taken almost a year of police time | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
to reach this point, and this area of election low | :05:53. | :06:05. | |
All that goes to suggest that no decision will be | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Nearly a quarter of the unclassified roads managed by Devon County | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Council are in need of immediate maintenance, according | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
The authority says 23% of its smaller rural roads need | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
The Department for Transport told us it is giving Devon County Council | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
over ?47 million in 2017 and 2018 to fix, repair, and upgrade roads. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
I appreciate that there are budget issues and | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
purses are stretched, and | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
all that sort of thing, but at the same time, | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
it is an infrastructure thing, isn't it? | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
With the state of the roads where we are, which is very rural, | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
and lots of farms, and small country lanes, | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
they don't seem to get any | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
attention at all, and I would say in the last few years, practically no | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Small, rural roads around here in Devon are actually pitted | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
with potholes, which is bad for cyclists, motorcyclists, plus | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Prince Andrew has attended a passing out ceremony at the Britannia Royal | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
The Duke of York took the salute as more than 150 officer cadets | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
completed their first phase of training. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
The Duke himself was a former cadet at the college when he | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
joined the Royal Navy in 1979, as John Danks reports. | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
A youthful Prince Andrew, starting at Britannia Royal Naval College. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
When he passed out in 1980, his mother, | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
the Queen, inspected the officer cadets. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
If the young officers were excited, they managed to keep a calm | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
They arrived here only 30 weeks ago, fresh off the streets | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
from a wonderful variety of backgrounds, and they have been | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
through a really punishing training programme, and they have absolutely | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
made the grade, and pass out today as Royal Naval officers. | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
The occasion was marked by a fly past by a Royal Navy Hawk jet | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
I have to say that it is an enormous pleasure to be here | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
today to see that the traditions and the values that I undertook when I | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
was here are still being passed on to you. | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
Those traditions included the salute, and the ceremony came to | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
an end with a slow march into the Naval College. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
As we go through the main door, and the door slams, we | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
That is our first order as naval officers, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
and that commences our life in the Navy. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
I have got my friends and family here. | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
The whole occasion has been very emotional. | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
John Danks, BBC Spotlight, Dartmouth. | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
A ?1 million project to bring a medieval deer park back to life | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
has just taken a big step forward, with the arrival of 17 fallow deer. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
It is all part of a new attraction at | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Dartington Hall in South Devon, where visitors will be able to enjoy | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
the historic site and have access to the surrounding parkland. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
And finally, amazing pictures have emerged of a humpback whale | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
The whale was filmed when she appeared | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
She's thought to be the same whale, dubbed | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Doris, that has attracted onlookers to Start Bay in Devon. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Doris made headlines, not only for her dramatic | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
appearances, but also for getting snagged twice in fishing nets. | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
Now let's have a look at the weather. | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
Nothing too much to worry about the weather, quite a lot of cloud around | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
at times. Friday could be quite damp. Tomorrow is a cloudy start, | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
risk of a few showers in the morning, but into the afternoon, it | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
will be brighter and we will get the sunshine back to. Similar whether to | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
today. The high pressure is beginning to retreat further out | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
into the Atlantic, opening the door for a couple of weather systems to | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
arrive on Friday, the one day when it could be rather cloudy but some | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
spots of rain. A lot of clear sky now, but later in the night, more | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
cloud coming in from the north-east. It may produce a futures, | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
temperatures as low as five or 6 degrees, slightly milder along the | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
coast. After a grey starts tomorrow, it should brighten up, some decent | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
spells of sunshine and a top temperature of 13 degrees. This is | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Good Friday. It looks like it could be rather dump at times, breezy and | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
also quite mild at 14 degrees. Have a good night. That is it from us. | :10:50. | :10:59. | |
Join us for our breakfast bulletins tomorrow. Good night from the latest | :11:00. | :11:00. | |
team. Brighter on Saturday but cloud again | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
on Sunday. Here is Tomasz. Good evening. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
The weather in the run-up to Christmas... Easter! I got ahead of | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
myself there! It isn't looking especially | :11:22. | :11:22. |
