The number of people left waiting in A&E wards has hit the highest levels on record for the second week in a row.
The Scottish Government target is for patients to be seen and discharged or admitted to hospital within four hours - but last week 8,610 people were not dealt with in the target time.
A record 1,015 people waited more than 12 hours - an increase of 35 per cent on the previous seven days.
