NHS care providers across Sussex declared a “critical incident” for an unprecedented fifth day in a row yesterday.

It means health managers across the county can take additional steps such as cancelling non-urgent appointments.

Hospitals, clinics and GP services are among those to roll out the measures.

A critical incident has also been declared across Surrey by the Surrey and Sussex NHS Healthcare Trust.
