HEALTH bosses have put a 'temporary fix' in place after a major IT problem affected NHS service across Inverclyde.
The health board reported an IT problem which was affecting all systems, including phones, across the area.
The Tele had been told that people attending Inverclyde Royal Hospital and local GP surgeries were being asked not to stay unless they were in urgent need.
Inverclyde Council initially said that the health board was "aware and working to resolve the matter as soon as possible".
The council then issued an update on social media stating that a temporary fix had been put in place and saying there "should be no impact to the public".
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has been contacted for comment.
