The region’s A&E waiting times have been branded a “crisis” as new figures show almost 150 people waited more than 12 hours to be discharged or admitted in May.
The latest data from Public Health Scotland highlights the extent of the issues facing accident and emergency units both locally and across the country, with performance measured against the four-hour target.
The target - which has been in place since 2007 - is for 95 per cent of patients to wait no longer than four hours from arrival to admission, discharge or transfer.
