The time spent in Scottish A&Es is more than four hours for over a quarter of patients, according to the latest figures.
On average, NHS Scotland health boards met the four-hour standard 71.3% of the time in June. The target aims to have no patient spend longer than four hours between arriving at an Accident & Emergency unit, admission, and discharge or transfer.
Almost 11,000 patients (8.4%) spent more than eight hours in an A&E department, according to the most recent figures by Public Health Scotland (PHS).
