it seems as if the nhs is a landlord to some nhs surgeries.r gp surgery nhs surgeries. so you have your gp surgery and your landlord is the nhs. there has been more money put into a transformation in technology and it is putting up the cost of the service charges and there is going to bea service charges and there is going to be a rebellion over this.|j service charges and there is going to be a rebellion over this. i would imagine that there is a generation of doctors and medical people, nurses within the nhs, who think this is absurd. that is basically it. you mean, we will get kicked out because we are not paying your rent? when this surgery is what it is about, not the building. you should be helping us to stay here as opposed to giving us a bill for rent. it doesn't make sense. this is not the point and it might be simplistic, can't you move somewhere cheaper and have a different landlord, or by the building themselves? the technology required as part of the gp role. it is movable, isn't it? you have people who have a client base, maybe t

and because of that to the nhs?tem that is stretched. they say there is two reasons. there are not enough beds. it is not good for the nhs to spend more money, clearly. but as a clinician, my concern is about the patient. it is not good for their recovery. nhs england admit they are spending too much on private bed. they say it is close to £5 million every month. here in peterborough, the problem is it is no longer affordable. they did what nhs england wants to do more often. they put more emphasis on a short inpatient assessment period with more support for patients in their own homes. 7096 of our patients go through that system and come back out into the community supported by home treatment. and that is a huge achievement. that is why nhs england is investing £400 million on crisis ca re is investing £400 million on crisis care in home later this year. the welsh government says that funding has increased to £600 million this year. scotland is investing £300 million over the next five years. northern ireland say t

the question is whether the country can afford paying nhs staff more?ends on what we value as a country. we would argue that the health of the nation is the highest priority and therefore we would want to see those providing care for the nation remunerated properly. part of theissueis nation remunerated properly. part of the issue is recruitment, isn't it? in terms of stuff coming into the national health service and the need for those staff. post brexit, perhaps with immigration controls tighter, whether that will be a problem? part of the problem originated because we failed to train enough staff, some of the things happening now such is the proposal to stop student funding might impact on that. part of it is the problem we have created, in the most the problem we have created, in the m ost rece nt the problem we have created, in the most recent yea rs the problem we have created, in the most recent years we have recruited more nhs staff but we are onlyjust back to the levels we saw in 2007/8, so back to the levels we saw in 2007/8, so we're just abou

which party is best forfamilies who is going to rescue the nhs.best for families and their living standards, who is going to improve schools for all children and build more affordable homes both to read and to buy. this is about what country we want the uk to be after brexit. that is what this election i think will be about. of course you'll want the election to be about all of those other issues and of course your own brief which housing. but labour want to focus on all that other stuff because your position on brexit is all over the shop? not the case. we are said from day one from the referendum, we accept the result of the referendum. we will see this through. brexit will happen. the question is now the decisions that government makes, the deal is that the government is able to strike, on important things that matter to people, with have got a government at the moment that is blinkered by brexit and ignoring many of the issues that ordinary people faced that bother them that the most. the state of the nhs and social care, the huge funding cris

is going to push on. the nhs issues thatjeremy corbyn clearly is going to push onm the nhs issues thatjeremycomplicated in my area because the nhs is to fall. but as a gp printed inside knowledge. certainly the performance of the nhs in wales is poor and that is under the watch of the labour party. but there is concern across the uk all the future of the health service and that will as usual form a big part of the discussion that goes on. and what are the other issues you think are going to resonate with voters on the doorstep? anything like mine is housing. tony blair said education but the bulk of people who come to my surgery every friday have housing issues of some kind. people who want to get on the ladder, the property ladder, that has become an unobtainable gene for people in london or people in substandard social housing which has disappeared out of sight, really, the number of social houses we have has reduced massively. things like cuts to school budgets, but has been very important. the social care, adult social care crisis we have. this is about more than just social care crisis

. >> level of funding, there are record levels of funding, and going into the nhs. it is not just a question of funding but the quality of education provided by schools. 1.8 million more children are in good or outstanding schools under this conservative government. and 1-size-fits-all, no choice, good or bad edge and we provide something for every child. >> many receive a letter from the school, and by books and fund the school. the amount of money into school will be protected. it is another tory broken promise. for the first time in history, nhs funding per pupil per patient will fall with care. it is an all-around crisis. why are more people waiting in pain, and not getting the care and dignity they deserve. >> and then record levels of funding going into the national health service. you can only do that with a strong economy in the labour party. bankruptcy and chaos. >> that is a good reason we should have a debate about it. that is another tory broken promise. a broken promise of the tory manifesto which says they will spend more on the nhs in real time. say t

so, pay in the nhs has gone down really for a long time.say you have got to reverse that because people are leaving the nhs. it is undermining staff morale and they're putting that together with money to ensure that staffing on wards is at a safe level. they want to set—up a review to decide what is the safe level for staffing and then to legislate to ensure that wards have adequate numbers of nurses there. so that too will cost money and they're suggesting they want to reintroduce student bursaries for people who wa nt to student bursaries for people who want to become nurses. it is a big package, but it is an expensive package, but it is an expensive package probably runs into billions of pounds. they said that would address of pounds. they said that would a d dress staff of pounds. they said that would address staff shortages. 2a,000 nursing vacancies in england. how do they say they would pay for this then? well, there we are in foggy terrain shall we say? at the moment labour say we can get the money from reversing some of the tax chan

the nhs is not got the money it needs. the prime minister knows that.g lists are up. she knows there is a waiting list in almost every a&e department. maybe she could go to a hospital and allow the staff to ask her a few questions. mr speaker, strong leadership is about standing up for the many, not refute it up but when it comes to the prime minister and the conservatives, the only look after the richest, not the rest. they are strong against the week and wea k they are strong against the week and weak against the strong. as for mrs may, no surprises — she accused ronnie corbett of weak leadership. ——jeremy ronnie corbett of weak leadership. —— jeremy corbyn of weak leadership. there is somewhere where the nhs has been cut, it is in wales under the labour party. but he is right. in something over six weeks, we will be back at these dispatch boxes again and the only question is, where will we be standing? who will be prime minister of this great country? and he says the choice is clear, and the choice is clear. every vote for him isa choice is clear. ev

the nhs. brexit. brexit.t's leave. ‘s 'si 's i think brexit can be slightly overdone, you get too involved in it, people might think what is the point of having it, getting worked up, do you understand what i mean? there are so much publicity about it and so much of the papers, people might get fed up with it after a while. yeah, but it is your view. we will talk more after the news and sport coming up right now. what time is it? just look at big ben, it is 25 to ten, which means we are slightly late for the news headlines. brendan rogers brendan rogers brendan the prime minister has denied claims of political opportunism and insisted that it's in the national interest to hold a snap election injune. mps are expected to approve the prime minister's plan when they vote this afternoon. speaking this morning, mrs may said going to the country now rather than 2020 meant the government would be able to focus on brexit negotiations for the next couple of few years. when i became prime minister last july, ifelt the

yes, they are. 0ne regular nhs staff? yes, they are.rking for agencies, partly because of the flexibility of us partly because of the flexibility of us which the nhs doesn't always do. but also to supplement their nhs pay in order to pay the bills. when will you have the result of this consultation? we have got our big conference coming up in may, will have the results at the beginning of may. we will watch with interest, thank you, janet. bedtime is just after 11:30am. bedtime isjust after 11:30am. let's ta ke bedtime isjust after 11:30am. let's take a look at the weather with ben. thank you and good morning. the easter weekend is looming and one thing i cannot promise is it will be anything like as warm as it was last weekend. still some decent weather to be had. lovely start to the day today, particularly southern and eastern areas, the picture from one of our weather watchers in surrey but from the satellite, you can see things are clouding over from the west. some of the cloud will be thick enough to squeeze out the odd spot of ver

about the nhs here, they are going toing to pay. in peterborough city hospital, which apparently is offering doctors £95 an hour, as this staffing crisis in the nhs has escalating, and, yes, it is an awful lot of money, we were working out a ten hour shift, you were pocketing a grand, but ultimately there is no—one viable to do the job. grand, but ultimately there is no-one viable to do the job. they point out it is a&e. it is a&e. it is yet another headline that is telling us, screaming in ourface, that the nhs is in crisis, something needs to change an my concern here is, that this, this is is a vicious cycle. this is going to, the more stories that come out like this, the fewer people are going to want to pursue a career in the medical tracks by. if they are giving £5 an hour maybe they will. this is great investigation, they have highlighted e—mails that have come from admin staff going to medical staff, and highlighted the urgency in the messages which demonstrates how desperate they are. in one say it says sorry to send so man

the nhs -- all right.the nhs is not got the money it needs, the prime minister news that, waiting time and waiting lists are up. and the a&e department, and to ask a few questions. strong leadership is about standing up for the many, not the view. when it comes to the prime minister and the conservatives, looking after the richest. not the rest. they are strong against the week and week against the strong. far from building a strong economy, the gold in the nhs have been cut, people can't afford homes, millions can't make ends beat, don't add to a stronger economy for anyone. the election is a choice between a conservative -- between a conservative government for the few and a labor government that will stand up for all of our people. >> if the right honorable gentlemen wants to talk about the nhs he should talk about labor's custodianship in wales. there is somewhere the nhs has been cut in wales under the labor party. something over 6 weeks, we will be back at these dispatch boxes again and the only ques
