Ayrshire people are today being urged to ‘think again’ about attending any of the region’s A&E departments.
NHS Ayrshire & Arran said it is experiencing “extreme pressures” and has issued an appeal for patients to ‘reconsider’ a trip to A&E unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Chief executive Claire Burden said: “Our urgent and unscheduled care services in both University Hospitals Ayr and Crosshouse are under extreme pressure at this time.
