Parkside Medical Centre has been closed and reports - which have appeared in national newspapers - claim five people have been injured after an incident at around 9am on Monday.

A statement on the Parkside Medical Centre's website says: "We have had a major incident this morning and the practice will therefore be closed until further notice.

"Please be patient, we will contact you as soon as we can to re-schedule your appointment."
