Health chiefs have today asked the public to stop and think before attending A&E.
NHS Ayrshire & Arran bosses say the health service is under 'significant pressure' due to Covid cases and staff absences along with a surge in urgent care demand.
Experts say that people who attend an A&E in the region may be directed 'to a more appropriate service' if the condition of the patient doesn't need the services of the emergency department.
