It's being claimed that the closure of Great Yarmouth's NHS walk-in centre has had no impact on accident and emergency departments or the ambulance services. 

A report, external by the Great Yarmouth and Waveney Joint Health Scrutiny Committee has concluded the alternative services are working well. 

But Great Yarmouth MP Brandon Lewis says he'd welcome walk in services coming back to the town.   

"Actually expecting everybody to go to the James Paget puts a lot of pressure potentially on the James Paget during tourism season," Mr Lewis said. "But also on people in our northern villages, it's quite a big journey to do if you have that kind of urgent requirement. 

"The walk-in centre alleviated some of that pressure, both for residents and potentially for the hospital as well."

He picked up his 10th yellow card of the season in last night's 1-1 draw at Brighton and receives a two-game ban.

The Leicester loanee has scored eight of Ipswich's last 11 goals.

Lawrence will miss the Championship clash with Leeds this weekend and then the trip to Norfolk the following week.

The number of reported hate crimes in Norfolk in the quarter after the EU Referendum went up by 25%.

The figures were mirrored nationally as record levels of hate crime were reported by 75% of police forces in England and Wales following the vote.

From July to September, 33 of 44 forces recorded the highest quarterly number of hate crimes since records began in April 2012. 

And that includes Norfolk, where 130 were recorded in the months after the Brexit vote - up 25% compared to the previous quarter.

After going behind inside the opening 30 seconds, the City striker set-up his side's equaliser before putting them in front.

A mistake from Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow gifted Jerome one of the easiest goals he'll ever score.

The Portuguese front man missed the Canaries' 2-2 draw with Newcastle United last night and will now go for scans to see the extent of the damage.

He picked up the injury in Saturday's 5-1 win over Nottingham Forest.

Manager Alex Neil told BBC Radio Norfolk: "We think there might be damage to a bone in there (foot)... we're talking maybe four to six weeks."

Hundreds of patients are brought into the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) every year with injuries that could be life-changing.

Last year, staff at the west Norfolk hospital's A&E department treated injuries related to 39 road crashes and 196 falls, 23 of these were from more than 2m (6.5ft) high.

Up to 29 of the trauma patients were aged over 90, with seven under 18-years-old.

Recently 20 doctors from the King's Lynn hospital took part in a three-day advanced trauma course to help them deal with the injuries.

Dr Alistair Steel, who's been running the course locally for three years, says trauma is the most common cause of death for those under 40.  

"In this region most young people die as a result of injuries sustained in car accidents... fortunately we see little of the violent crime that larger cities like London see... for older people falls are a big problem."

Within the last few hours, officials from Defra have arrived at a poultry farm near Redgrave where an outbreak of avian flu has been discovered.

Bridge Farm houses more than 20,000 birds in four chicken sheds - these birds will be culled over the next few days.

Defra says a 10 km (6 mile) temporary control zone has been installed around the farm close to the Norfolk/Suffolk border.

Up to 23,000 birds are to be destroyed after the disease is found at a poultry farm.

Doctors from a hospital in west Norfolk hospital have been honing their life-saving skills on a three day Advanced Trauma course.

It comes after nearly 250 patients were treated for traumatic injuries at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) between summer 2015-16, and half of those were more than 80-years-old.

The majority of patients treated at the QEH are unrelated to trauma, with doctors seeing a handful of severely injured patients a year.

Consultant anaesthetist Alistair Steel has been running the course and says it plays an important role in ensuring doctors remain up to date and confident in applying their life-saving skills.

He tries to make the course relative to the area, as the injuries seen at the King's Lynn hospital are different to those seen in places like London.

Nicola Urquhart says the search of a landfill site at Milton, as part of the investigation into the disappearance of her son, RAF Honington serviceman Corrie Mckeague, is something she's been pushing for.

She said: "Could this have been done in week four, ie. mid- to late-October? I think it could have.

"Should it have? Hindsight's a wonderful thing [but] let's not go there, we can't change it.

"We are where we are, they're doing the search now, I'm grateful for that."

Efforts are continuing to try and confirm whether a person has died in a bungalow fire in Sedge Fen near Lakenheath.

Suffolk Fire Service has told us the property is "potentially quite unstable." 

Steve Mableson, a station commander with Suffolk Fire and Rescue, added: "There's some fairly high chimney stacks there, the roof has collapsed and the content and structure of the roof is now inside the premises.

"Before we can carry out any investigations we've got to make that safe for ourselves and the scenes of crime officers that we're working with."

People living nearby have told us the house was occupied by an elderly man.
