Patients will be seen and treated in the county’s hospitals today.

A spokesman for the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Trust said: “Our hospital services are open as usual today.

“If we do need to cancel any appointments, we will contact those patient individually.

“We know that there are some problems with public transport and patient transport services run by the ambulance service, but we will see any patients who are able to get here.”

The trust runs the John Radcliffe and Churchill Hospitals in Oxford and the Horton Hospital in Banbury.
