Scarborough Hospital is asking people with non urgent issues to stay away
A WARNING has gone out to patients saying that a North Yorkshire accident and emergency unit is at full stretch.
York Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said the emergency department at Scarborough Hospital is extremely busy today and patients with non-urgent issues face long waits of several hours or more as we prioritise the most seriously injured/critically ill.
A spokesman has asked people to please consider using NHS111 or a local urgent treatment centre if possible.
