    None of the clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire offer couples the government's recommended three cycles of IVF treatment on the NHS, it's emerged.

    Three of the four CCGs only offer one round of IVF, a BBC investigation has found.

    In Hull, it's two and you can apply for a third, but only if you go through a funding review.

    Campaigners argue that infertility is a disease and everyone should have access to three cycles of IVF on the NHS, regardless of where they live.

    There needs to be consistency. There's so much difference between the postcodes in the last two or three years. I've had friends from the same area who didn't get funding."

    A wildlife charity has expanded one of its bird reserves by leasing mudflats around an island near the Humber Estuary.

    The RSPB will take over 40 hectares of river bank surrounding Hook Island near Goole in East Yorkshire.

    The site provides a winter stopover to thousands of migrating birds.

    Peter Short, from the RSPB, described Hook Island as another "bit of the jigsaw" in providing a habitat for wildlife on the estuary.

    It can hold up to 5,000-plus water birds in winter and in autumn, so each of those little pieces of the jigsaw along the Humber actually go towards making the whole picture."
