Once again, the Emergency Department at Hull Royal Infirmary is really busy.

If you turn up with an issue that's not urgent, it's likely you will be waiting a very long time to be seen. If you are suffering with a relatively minor ailment, please consider visiting your local pharmacy or contacting your GP practice.

If it's something more worrying, ring NHS 111 first and they will help you get the care you need.

Cold weather advice from Dr Peter Billingsley.

When the cold weather hits it’s best to heat the person, not the home.

Check in on neighbours, especially older people.

Every small action helps hospitals focus on those who need care most.
