Thousands of ambulances waited almost two hours before being able to drop off patients at A&E wards at Scottish hospitals last month.
Figures uncovered by Scottish Labour found that 2,731 ambulances were delayed by at least one hour and 50 minutes in October.
And at the flagship Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow the turnaround time was more than three hours – with 69 waiting three hours and 40 minutes in the week beginning October 10.
