The Southern Trust said: “Some surgery is going ahead. In the event of cancellations patients will be contacted directly.

“If in doubt, please check before you travel and keep safe.”

The trust said all patients will be re-booked as soon as possible.

Many of the Province’s schools are also closed today and disruption to travel is particularly bad in the south and east of Northern Ireland.
