A statement on its website said: “We have to advise you that we are having severe staffing issues in all areas of the practice.

“We will of course continue to see anyone who has an urgent medical issue.

“Unfortunately, this means that non-urgent matters will have to wait longer than either you or we would like.

The Mid Sussex Health Care team thanked all their patients for working with them.
