A Scots hospital sent out an SOS to staff to work on their days off after three major incidents were declared.
Ambulances were stuck outside Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for hours as staff shortages led to massive queues at the front door. The personnel crisis also led to another hospital, Borders General in Melrose, cancelling all planned routine operations.
And NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHSGCC) yesterday asked patients to stay away from A&E due to Covid pressures increasing – with one in 15 people in Scotland now infected.
