There are concerns about the future of a scheme which it's claimed has

eased the pressure on GPs in East Yorkshire.

Support is being given in Bridlington to vulnerable

and elderly patients to stop them visiting their doctor

unnecessarily, but the funding is due to run out soon.

In Bridlington, there's a large elderly population,

319 people aged 75 or over, were told they could get help -

75 of them got health and lifestyle advice, 38 were helped

I asked this doctor what impact it had.

I haven't been seeing my patients as much so that patients that I have

been seeing who are coming maybe quite frequently and I was

struggling to answer their needs, are now finding alternative sources.

But the government's spending watchdog last month said

there wasn't evidence projects like this were stopping

Those behind this project says it just needs more time.

It may ultimately down the line stop people attending hospital.

At this early stage, that hasn't shown that position,

but there is no reason to think that in the future if we continue

to develop that, that wouldn't start to have that impact.

Health bosses are desperately hoping to get more funding so they can

expand this scheme across the East Riding.

They say anything that could take pressure off doctors is priceless.

The Brexit Secretary has insisted the government is working

The Commons Foreign Affairs Committee said it would be

a serious dereliction of duty by the government not to do so.

But speaking on The Andrew Marr Show earlier -

the Haltemprice and Howden MP, David Davis, said they've been

planning for all the possible outcomes of the negotiations.

The aim is to get a good outcome, I'm confident we will do that. One

Time for a look at the weather now, with Jennifer Bartram.

Good evening, a much colder night in store tonight than in recent days, a

fair amount of cloud initially which breaks up and we see clear spells

develop through the night. Temperatures under clear skies

dropping to 45 degrees. In some sheltered areas, a touch of frost by

tomorrow morning. -- four or 5 degrees. Writing is tomorrow with

sunshine breaking through, it clouds over as we head into Monday

afternoon. Generally a dry unsettled day with temperatures up to 13

degrees, 55 Fahrenheit. Note a bad week. On Tuesday, more cloudy, the

temperatures could hit 15 degrees. Blue skies on Wednesday, turning a

little cooler. That is the latest, we will be back at 6:25am tomorrow.

But from all of us here, have a good night.

Good evening. For many places it was a fairly cloudy day on suspend but

there was sunshine for western areas during the afternoon, and here are

the clear skies at sunset in Northern Ireland. Thanks to weather

watcher Robin for this picture, those clear skies have been making

their way further east ward. Temperatures are dropping away, we

have seen temperatures of freezing in parts of Northern Ireland. More

cloud rolling in during the latter part of the night but towns and

cities down the five and six m the countryside many of us will see the

temperatures a degree or so above freezing, so a slight touch of frost

across the rural parts of England and Wales for instance, Scotland

too. We will see more cloud on Monday edging south-east wards

across England and Wales, the far south and south-east holding on to

more in the way of sunshine and here the highest temperatures 15 or 16,

also dry and bright with sunny spells for Northern Ireland and
