A hospital has urged patients not to use its A&E department unless there is a genuine emergency.
The A&E department at the James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston is currently experiencing 'high demand' – and patients should only attend if there is a genuine emergency.
In a message to patients on Twitter, the hospital tweeted: 'It's extremely busy at our hospital today - so please do not attend A&E unless it is an emergency.
'If you need to access health care services, please consider using the NHS 111 service.'
With patients being asked to 'keep our A&E for emergencies only,' further information is also available via the hospital's website www.tinyurl.com/ycuet8ux
