IT Systems updated statement at 15:00.

The Trust is continuing to experience significant issues with our IT systems which are having an impact on our services.
Work by engineers to resolve these complex issues is ongoing but disruption to services is likely to continue for some time.
Community services are expected to operate as normal tomorrow (Thursday).
Unfortunately, the majority of planned surgery and out-patient hospital appointments are being cancelled tomorrow. These will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
We ask that people avoid coming to our Emergency Departments unless absolutely necessary.
We apologise for any disruption. Staff are working hard to resume services as soon as possible. Further updates will be provided in due course.
