New figures have revealed that just under two-thirds of A&E patients in Forth Valley were seen within four hours in the week to February 20.
The latest data from Public Health Scotland reveals that 1,094 people were seen within the region’s accident and emergency units for the seven-day period - with 389 of these seen within the guideline mark.
It means 64.4 per cent of patients were seen within the four-hour target, well below the 95 per cent outlined as a national guideline and also a fall on recent monthly data which showed an improvement in Forth Valley’s treatment times towards the target.
