    BBC Look North

    Ambulance response times in parts of East Yorkshire have declined over the first six months of this year.  

    Graham Stuart, the MP for Beverley and Holderness, says he has been given figures which show just half of emergencies were responded to within the target of eight minutes.  

    Yorkshire Ambulance Service say they aim to reach all patients as quickly as possible, but demand is increasing.

    Sarah Sanderson

    Political Reporter East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

    The deputy leader of Hull City Council says the authority aims to balance the books before the end of the year 

    A report from The Director of Finance at the council says the authority is not financially viable if overspending continues at its current rate.

    His comments specifically relate to its largest two services; Adult Social Care and Children's Safeguarding 

    But deputy leader Darren Hale says although the report shows a predicted overspend now, the council has plans to decrease that by the end of the year:

    Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart says ambulance response times are getting worse.

    He says times have "slumped sharply" in the first half of this year and he claims there was a sharp decline in Beverley, Hornsea and Withernsea too.
