An emergency meeting between the East Riding Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and local MPs is due to place today over proposals to close Minor Injuries Units in the area.

It was announced yesterday that plans to shut the unit at Hornsea and downgrade those at Driffield and Withernsea will not be reviewed by the government.

An independent panel of experts has told Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt that a government review is unnecessary and any issues should be addressed locally.

The CCG says it's now taking the time to review and consider yesterday's announcement and will provide a further statement in due course.

The Conservative MP for Beverley and Holderness, Graham Stuart, is urging the CCG to think again.

The replica of the Gipsy Moth was created as part of Hull's City of Culture 2017.

In March, the East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group announced it would shut the unit at Hornsea Cottage Hospital and downgrade the units at Driffield and Withernsea.

In September, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt announced the proposals would be reviewed by an independent panel of experts.

But in a letter to Jeremy Hunt, which has been seen by the BBC, a panel of experts has concluded that there doesn't need to be a full review and any issues can be addressed at a local level.

New technology's been introduced by Humberside Police to make sure officers spend less time in the office and more time in the communities they serve.

A total of 330 laptops and 1,500 smartphones have been issued to officers which come loaded with a new application called "Pronto".

The new technology will allow officers to add information about incidents remotely, meaning they can record witness statements and details on a smartphone rather than in a notebook.

The application then updates the police's central operational systems, reducing the need for officers to return to the office to complete their important paperwork.

The new technology has cost £2.6m and courses have been run to train 3,000 police officers.
