00:05 I think that it is better.
00:07 It is a better idea.
00:09 But it could do with it being open all the time.
00:12 Overnight would be better.
00:14 Because it's a long way to Kingsmill.
00:16 I prefer Kingsmill to Lincoln.
00:21 It's better than not, you know, rather than, well I prefer them open 24 hours,
00:27 but as it isn't going to be open 24 hours, a little bit longer is better.
00:31 A couple of times since it opened, but I mean a walk in centre is fine,
00:39 but we really should have an accident emergency like we used to do.
00:43 I mean Newark Hospital is fantastic if they open the facilities,
00:50 but I mean that's probably just staffing problem with the NHS.
00:54 But Newark Hospital is a good hospital. It is one to use them properly.
00:59 It's a good idea to have the extension, but I still think it needs to be open at night
01:05 for people that have problems, particularly with now we've got so many people,
01:09 new people with the housing, and they've got children, and things happen in the night.
01:15 But I'm happy with it as it is, the extension. Yes, thank you.
01:22 Very good, particularly in view of the fact that 30 years ago
01:27 they were thinking about closing Newark Hospital completely
01:31 and transferring everything out to the other, Nottingham and Kingsmill and such.
01:36 So it's a good thing. So there you are.
01:40 Well it's better, but it's not the final solution. It should be open all night.
