Ayrshire NHS chief apologises over A&E waiting times branded 'dismal' by West Scotland MSP

NHS chiefs in Ayrshire have apologised over waiting times at A&E departments after an MSP branded updated figures 'dismal'.

Stats show 70.8 per cent of A&E patients in the region were seen within the four-hour target time for the week ending Sunday, January 16. At University Hospital Ayr, just 62 per cent were treated within four hours.

This helped make NHS Ayrshire & Arran the second-worst performing health board in the country.
