Terrence O'Shea, from the Campaign to Save NHS Mental Health Services, external in Norfolk and Suffolk, says the hospital is being given public money to care for NHS patients.

"The latest report says people who are detained at Mundesley Hospital don't have access to a clinical psychologist, which is a key component in their treatment. 

"Hundreds of thousands of pounds has been spent sending patients to Mundesley Hospital and we just wonder whether that was money well spent."

South Norfolk, external is being given £96,000 as part of a £50m national fund which is aimed at preventing people from becoming homeless in the first place.

The authority will use the cash to intervene earlier to help those at risk to develop better life skills, such as managing finances, personal health and welfare and help to understand tenancy responsibilities.

South Norfolk is one of 28 councils selected by the government, and statistically has no rough sleepers. 

Great Yarmouth and Kings Lynn, with the highest numbers of homeless in Norfolk, have not been chosen to carry out the programme. 

The government announced a £40m homelessness, external prevention programme in October which was increased to £50m in its autumn statement.

It has not been announced if the couple, who are said to have "heavy colds", will travel at a later date.

They rarely miss engagements through illness, although yesterday it was announced that Her Majesty, who is 90, would be stepping down as patron from 25 national organisations.

The last time the Queen missed an official engagement, to Rome, was when she was treated for the symptoms of gastroenteritis in 2013 and stayed overnight in a private hospital to be assessed by doctors. 

In June last year Buckingham Palace took the unusual step of confirming the Queen's visit to a private hospital for a routine medical check-up following speculation on social media about the state of her health.

Last month during a visit with the Queen to London's Francis Crick Institute, a major biomedical research centre, Prince Philip, 95, joked about his good health, asking a flu expert: "Why haven't I had flu for the last 40 years?" 

In May an undisclosed minor ailment forced the duke to miss commemorations marking the anniversary of the First World War Battle of Jutland in Orkney.

An abortion clinic in Norwich says it's made major changes since a highly-critical report by health inspectors. 

Services at the Marie Stopes Centre were stopped from August to October after an inspection by the Care Quality Commission, external in May. 

It found none of the staff were trained to help vulnerable people make a decision about whether or not to consent to surgical abortions. 

One doctor was seen to be bulk-signing up to 60 consent forms without proper assessment. 

Suzanne Ash, interim managing director at Marie Stopes UK, said: "Since the inspections, we've made considerable changes to our management, governance and assurance processes, including extensive training of staff and updating of policies. 

"We have learned from this, and intend to continue our focus on providing the safe and compassionate care that women expect and deserve."

Buckingham Palace says The Queen has not travelled to Sandringham today, as had been planned, due to illness.

"The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh have heavy colds, and so have decided not to travel to Sandringham today," it said in a statement.

The Queen has delayed plans to travel to Norfolk today for the start of her Christmas break.

The Queen is understood to be feeling unwell.

A palace spokesman declined to comment.

The family of an ill teenager from Great Yarmouth say they've been amazed by the help and support they've received.

Abbie Boast, 13, was diagnosed with a brain tumour, which she calls Jeff, earlier this year. 

She's since had specialist treatment in America to shrink the growth, paid for by the NHS. 

An online appeal raised enough money in three days to pay for her family to travel with her. The total donated so far, external amounts to £16,115.

Her mother, Ali, says she can't believe the "love, generosity, thoughtfulness and kindness that came out of nowhere".

"Whoever said community spirit is dead it's certainly not dead in Great Yarmouth and the surrounding area," she said. "It's just amazing."

A burnt out car is on the beach at Corton, and is thought to have been on fire when it went off a cliff.

Emergency services were called to the area yesterday afternoon, at about 16:00.

The national police helicopter carried out a search for any occupants before it was decided that no-one was in the car.

Access to recover the vehicle will have to navigate a 45ft (13.7m) drop or wait for tides to be well out. 

Police are appealing for witnesses.
