SNP ministers have been slammed for "mismanagement" of the NHS as Scotland again recorded the highest figure on record for the number of people waiting at A&E for more than 12 hours.
Official figures from Public Health Scotland showed 1,022 people waited more than half a day in the week ending March 27 - an increase of seven from the week before.
The Scottish Government aims to ensure 95 per cent of people who attend A&E are seen and subsequently discharged or admitted to hospital within four hours.
