The James Paget, near Great Yarmouth, and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn have seen the number of nurses quitting double.

It comes as the health service has excess vacancies of nearly 4,000 in the East region alone.

Hospitals have little choice but to try and recruit abroad.

A spokesperson for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital says the rise is down to English language tests becoming harder, rather than the Brexit result itself.

A Gorleston man has been ordered to do 300 hours of unpaid work afer admitting charges of criminal damage and possession of a bladed weapon.

Andrew Claxton, 44, from North Road in Gorleston, damaged a Jaguar car parked in the town, causing £3,000 worth of damage, last month.

The magistrates' court at Great Yarmouth heard Claxton had been friends with the car's owner, Michael Lightfoot, but they'd fallen out a few weeks earlier.

Chairman of magistrates David Fairhurst said the sentencing acknowledged the early guilty plea, but said this was a revenge attack, adding: "We can't have people going around with an axe in Gorleston smashing up vehicles. It's not the done thing."

As well as having to do 300 hours of unpaid work within the next year, Claxton was told he has to pay £1,850 compensation to the owner of the car.

The man has a suspected broken arm and a head injury.

"We will make it as best as we can and better hopefully from what we were before."
