“This means considerable additional pressure on staff and available space,” a Trust spokesperson said.

“As always, please choose the most appropriate service and avoid coming to ED unless it is an emergency.

“If your complaint isn’t urgent or life threatening, consider using other services. Thank you for your understanding and support.”
