Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary has recorded one of the worst accident and emergency waiting times in Scotland.
New figures from Public Health Scotland states that only 38.5 per cent of those arriving at the Infirmary’s A&E department were treated within the Scottish Government’s four-hour target time during the week ending November 27. This was down from 41.3 per cent the previous week.
The report also shows that across Scotland, only 61.9 per cent of patients attending A&E units were seen within the SNP’s four-hour target time, the lowest on record.
