It comes after figures from the Police and Crime Commissioner show the force lost 11,000 days to illness in the last 12 months, up from 2,000 the year before. 

Ass Ch Nav Malik says they're currently working with a mental health charity to better understand the "complex issues they deal with" and they want to improve training and get more people to "self-refer."

Needless to say - they didn't get away with their haul, ended up having to write a letter apologising to the farmer and give back the potatoes.

This is "something that allows our staff to walk tall with pride now," - the words of Alan Burns, the chairman of the Hinchingbrooke Healthcare NHS Trust.

He's praised his staff after the hospital was taken out of special measures by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The hospital is now rated good, but the A&E department has been rated by the CQC as "requiring improvement".

Mr Burns said he is aware A&E has problems but an annual 8% rise in demand year-on-year, along with a national shortage of clinical staff, is putting pressure on the hospital.

Increasing pressure on officers may be behind an increase in sick days, the Cambridgeshire Police Federation (CPF) says.

The force has lost almost 11,000 days to illness in the last year. That's up by around 2,000 on the year before.

The figures are from an update from the Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner.

Oz Merrygold, from the CPF, believes the increase is due to mental health aspects such as stress. He says this has increased significantly during the last three years.

The first NHS hospital to be privately run and placed in special measures almost two years ago, has managed to make "significant improvements" according to inspectors.

In January this year Hinchingbrooke's bosses admitted there was "more to do"  and emergency services were still being rated as inadequate.

The hospital is now rated as "good" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and a senior figure at the watchdog says it shows the special measures system did its job:

Hinchingbrooke Hospital was placed into special measures after being rated as inadequate by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), external in September 2014. 

Back then, the trust was privately managed, but in April last year, it was returned to NHS ownership.

Now, following an inspection in May, the CQC says it found significant improvements, with new systems and processes in places. 

However, improvements are still needed in the emergency department. The watchdog says patients were waiting longer than average to be seen, some equipment for carrying out tests hadn't been properly checked, and the triaging of patients after arriving by ambulance wasn't fast enough.

The Fitzwiliam Museum used it's 200th birthday celebrations today to unveil its latest aquisition. 

This "unique" pair of ebony and rosewood cabinets were saved for the nation following a successful £1.2m fundraising campaign by the museum.

The cabinets, made in Rome in 1625 and previously kept at Castle Howard in Yorkshire, were set to leave the country after being purchased by an overseas buyer at auction last year.

Due to their historic and cultural value the government implemented a temporary export bar to provide an opportunity to keep them in the UK.

Hopefully nobody left any sticky lemon sponge finger marks on them during today's celebrations.
