A computer problem is causing some delays at Collingwood General and Marine Hospital.

Officials say a software issue is affecting their computer system, which may result in longer wait times in the emergency department and outpatient clinic.

This means patients could end up waiting longer for registration and for results from lab and diagnostic imaging.

The hospital has launched downtime procedures and officials say engineers are working on the problem.
