In a statement the health board has said: “Due to a break in at one of our premises last night, our Trauma and Orthopaedic Outpatients team is experiencing problems answering patient enquiries today.

“We apologise for any delays in answering enquiries and would ask patients to bear with us whilst we put alternative arrangements in place.”
