A spokesman for Kent Community Health Foundation Trust, which runs the hospital’s minor injury unit, told Kent Online: “Sittingbourne Minor Injury Unit (MIU) opened later than planned this morning due to an incident at the GP surgery on site.
"The MIU is now open and ready to see patients."
It's the third time this year the hospital in Sittingbourne, has had to lock down.
In May it locked its doors for three hours in response to reports a knifeman was enroute to the hospital, but he returned home and didn't show up at the buildings.
Earlier this year police were called to the hospital when a suspected bomb was found on the premises - but it was later identified as a lunch box.
Mirror Online has approached Kent Police for comment.
