Waiting times in Scottish emergency departments (ED) have reached a record low. According to the latest figures, just 63.5% of patients were dealt with within four hours.
The Scottish Government aims for 95% of patients to be seen and then admitted, transferred, or discharged within four hours. Out of 14 health boards, just one - NHS Western Isles - met the four-hour standard.
Over 3,300 patients waited more than eight hours in the week ending September 11. Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said the figures were "not acceptable" in a statement acknowledging the "significant pressure" placed on A&E units.
