Salisbury District Hospital is under "intense pressure"

People have been warned not to attend a town's A&E unless they have a life-threatening illness or serious injury after it reached full capacity.

Salisbury District Hospital in Wiltshire said it is under "intense pressure" with a large number of patients waiting to be discharged.

They have asked people to consider using alternative hospitals.

"Please help us prioritise the most urgent patients," said a hospital spokesperson.

"If you have a family member waiting to be discharged, please respond quickly to calls about their ongoing care."
