A patient at a Northern Ireland hospital has been kept waiting more than 100 hours in an under-pressure A&E, health chiefs have admitted.
The figure emerged as NHS bosses briefed the media on the state of the local health service - and outlined a raft of major issues including long waits for ambulances and hospital beds.
Chief Medical Officer Michael McBride said he has “very serious concerns about the ability of the health service to get through this winter”.
