Problems accessing health services in the East Riding have been raised at a meeting of the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board.
East Riding Councillor - Jonathan Owen - is a member of the board and told fellow board members he has struggled to get a GP appointment.
Problems with access to NHS digital services in the East Riding were also discussed at the meeting with the board hearing that projects are underway on new ways to tackle digital exclusion, to ensure people who don't have access to the NHS app are still able to access healthcare services.
Max Jones is the board's Chief Digital Information Officer, he says is a lot of work underway on the issue.
Earlier this month Healthwatch East Riding said they had anecdotal evidence that the cost of living crisis is creating a digital divide in health care.
