A spokesperson said: “The Trust is experiencing extremely high numbers of people attending our A&E department.
“While we are prioritising treating the sickest patients first, about 15 per cent of people attending A&E could have been treated elsewhere.
“Only those with life-threatening injuries should attend A&E. For non-emergencies, we are asking the public to think twice before coming to A&E and use alternatives, such as GPs, pharmacies, NHS 111 and minor injury units.”
