A political row has erupted after a revelation in the Scottish Parliament that a patient waited 84 hours before being transferred to an inpatient bed at an Ayrshire hospital.
Scottish Conservative and Unionist leader Douglas Ross told Parliament how the unnamed patient endured a wait of three and a half days at Crosshouse Hospital — before being admitted.
It comes off the back of another embarrassment for the Scottish Government with the news that the latest A&E waiting times are their worst ever.
