Extra layer this morning, its quite chilly out there. As we go through today we are looking at a mixture of sunny spells and showers, all of the details very shortly. Its thursday the 12th of september. Our main story. A major review into the nhs in england says the Health Service is in a critical condition, with long waits for care, poor Survival Rates for cancer, and crumbling infrastructure. The report by Lord Darzi, a surgeon and former Labour Health Minister, also highlights failings in Social Care which he says has both a profound Human Cost and economic consequences. Our health correspondent, catherine burns, has more. When dealing with a sick patient, medics can treat the obvious symptoms first, but to actually find a cure, they need to diagnose exactly whats wrong. Thats what the government has asked this man to do for the nhs. Lord darzi, a respected surgeon and former Labour Health Minister. His diagnosis is grave. Nhs, as weve heard from Secretary Of State, is broken. But its completely reversible. As i said, the vital signs are stable. We just need to put the right investment in the nhs. We need to engage our amazing doctors, nurses, Community Staff in pathways of care and look at the whole pathway as weve done before, from the cradle to the grave. What does it mean to the patients . Waiting is a big theme of this report. Waiting in busy corridors in A E departments, to see your gp, the list goes on. Waiting for mental Health Services, for routine surgery, for cancer care. Lord darzi Points Out that the uk has worse Survival Rates for cancer than many other countries. The report is particularly damning about the physical state of the nhs. Lord Darzi Talks about a £37 billion shortfall in buildings and equipment. He says if that had been spent over the years, it would have been enough to refurbish every gp practice, to provide up to Date Kit and to build the a0 new hospitals that were promised. Instead, he says, we are left with crumbling buildings and decrepit portacabins. He looks, too, at how things got into this state. He says its partly a hangover from funding, with 2010 being the start of the most austere decade in nhs history. Hes also scathing about a shake up to Nhs Structures in 2012, calling it a calamity without international precedent. When covid hit, the nhs cancelled or delayed more Routine Care than any other comparable health system. We hear week in, week out from the patients who have been waiting three weeks for a Gp Appointment, from those patients who cant get a Local Nhs dentist, or from those patients whove been waiting up to three years for a hip replacement. What we need to see now is action to address those problems, and we welcome the scale of ambition being outlined by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will say today that the nhs needs to reform or die. The question is how hes going to remedy it. Catherine burns, Bbc News. Our political Correspondent Leila Nathoo is in westminster. Morning to you, leila. So, as details in that report, there is a great deal in this report to reflect on. The questions are, what happens next, the Prime Minister will be addressing that later on . Morning to ou, addressing that later on . Morning to you. Charlie addressing that later on . Morning to you, charlie. Yeah, addressing that later on . Morning to you, charlie. Yeah, the addressing that later on . Morning to you, charlie. Yeah, the darzi addressing that later on . Morning to you, charlie. Yeah, the Darzi Reportl you, charlie. Yeah, the Darzi Report lays bare the scale of the problem but doesnt come up with any solution, that is a problem for Keir Starmer and his Health Secretary Wes Streeting. We will be hearing from the government what we are used to hearing from them so far, Trashing The Tory Legacy and promising to fix the tory legacy and promising to fix the foundations of public services in the long term. The Prime Minister will promise the biggest reimagining of the nhs since its birth, a ten Year Plan which will become set out in the coming months. It will have three aims, one making the nhs digital, two, moving from and if this is on hospitals to an emphasis on community treatment, the require an emphasis on hospitals, and the third focusing on prevention rather than treatment when people become ill. There is not the sense that more money for the nhs in england is the answer. The Darzi Report says money has been pouring into nhs hospitals but it has not led to results. I think the idea is that money in the existing budget is better targeted. The second thing under the tory coalition in 2012, those Reforms, they say that had catastrophic consequences, they are now packaging their own package of Reforms and they need to make sure it does not have its own Unintended Consequences in the long run. At the moment there is little mention of Social Care even though the Darzi Report talks about 13 of hospital beds being taken up by people waiting for Social Care treatment. That will have to come Hand In hand, a plan for Social Care in england alongside nhs Reforms. A plan for Social Care in england alongside nhs Reforms. Thank you so much. Alongside nhs Reforms.

There are a lot of| much. Naga has. There are a lot of parallels here, the story you are looking at is about the reality of day to Day Life for carers, and that is not1 million miles away from stories more generally about the nations health. And when you think of the relationship with Social Care, what is available in the nhs, the Burden And Responsibility that put on people who are caring, and those are the people that this report is focusing on. More than1 million unpaid carers in the uk who look after disabled, frail or ill relatives are living in poverty. A new report by the charity Carers Uk says one in ten unpaid Carers Experience such hardship they struggle to afford to eat regularly, or heat their homes. 0ur Reporter Steve Knibbs has the details. Howard has been caring for his Wife Beverly for the last eight years. She suffers with seizures and has poor mobility. Hes unable to work due to his own health issues, and theyre both on benefits. Theyre struggling financially. I class my financial situation as a minefield. Its a choice of heating or electric, one of the two. Latest figures suggest that there are around Six Million unpaid carers across the country. The report out today from Carers Uk says that nearly A Million of them are in poverty, meaning they cant afford a basic standard of living and 400,000 of them are in deep poverty, 50 below the poverty line. The report also highlights the challenges of trying to earn an income alongside unpaid care, with 600 people giving up work every day to care for someone. The financial worry, an extra burden on top of everything else. We need a change to the welfare system. We need an immediate injection of cash particularly to carers on means tested benefits that would lift, we think, between 30 and 40,000 people out of deep poverty. And we need longer term changes to carer� s allowance that reduce carers poverty. And of course, a review of the benefit to make sure that its fit for purpose. Carers uks proposals would cost the government almost £3 billion in total. The Department For Work And Pensions told the bbc that the country would grind to a halt without the support provided by millions of carers, and said. We recognise the challenges theyre facing and we are determined to provide unpaid carers with the support they deserve. We are working on long Term Reform of the social Care System to improve support for all. Its a fight, its a continuous fight. We all need a bit of help once in a while. Carers uk say that millions like howard deserve better and are being penalised for a situation not of their choosing, but out of loyalty to those they love. Steve knibbs, Bbc News. Data centres in the uk will be classified as critical national infrastructure to help protect them from cyber attacks or it blackouts.

The price of a single Bearskin Cap, as worn by the kings guards outside Buckingham Palace, has soared to more than £2,000. Thats according to the Ministry Of Defence, which has spent more than £1 million on them in recent years. Animal welfare campaigners say the use of real fur is now a financial as well as an ethical issue. 0ur royal Correspondent Sean Coughlan reports. The tall Bearskin Caps worn by the kings guards are a distinctive Sight outside Buckingham Palace and at big ceremonial events like trooping the colour. But Animal Rights Campaigners are saying theres too high a price to pay, notjust in terms of using real fur from black bears, but also because the cost to taxpayers has gone up so much. Each Bearskin Cap now costs more than £2,000. Thats an annual increase of 30 . The figures have been revealed by the Ministry Of Defence in a freedom of Information Request from the campaign group, the people for the ethical treatment of animals. It means more than £1 million has been spent on Bearskin Caps over the past decade, and the animal Rights Group says its an unacceptable waste of taxpayers money. The mod says its open to using an alternative to real fur if a material can be found that is suitably durable and keeps its shape. Its a decision for the military rather than the royals. But Queen Camilla has already revealed that she has made the switch away from buying realfur. Sean coughlan, Bbc News.
