Forth Valley residents are being asked not to attend Accident and Emergency at Forth Valley Royal Hospital - unless they need urgent care.

The health board says the A&E department in Larbert is currently "very busy".

Bosses there say it's due to a number of reasons, but is not thought to be coronavirus related.

In a statement on social media, they said: "Our Emergency Department at Forth Valley Royal Hospital is very busy today.
