Glasgow hospital patients face 12-hour wait in A&E ahead of Christmas

Hundreds of hospital patients were left waiting more than 12 hours in Glasgow's A&E departments ahead of Christmas.

Figures show that a record number of people were left waiting for more than 12 hours in the week leading up to December 25 with barely half of all patients in Glasgow being seen on time.

Public Health Scotland reported that 567 patients waited more than half a day to be seen in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde hospitals. At the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, 224 people faced a long wait.
