The Scottish government said the Covid pandemic had "inevitably" affected waiting times
While the Scottish government's target states 95% of patients should be admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours, just 71.3% were dealt with in that time - matching the record low achieved the previous week.Meanwhile, the most recent weekly figures from Public Health Scotland show that of the 25,335 people who went to an emergency department, 1,871 of them spent eight hours or more there.
But no mainland health boards managed to achieve this and in NHS Forth Valley just 41% of patients were dealt with in this time. Scottish Conservative health spokesman, Dr Sandesh Gulhane, said Scotland's emergency departments were in "complete crisis"."However, Humza Yousaf seems more interested in getting photo ops rather than urgently outlining how he will maximise that support at every turn to support overwhelmed staff."
Just be grateful you live in a country with an NHS. Look around the world and get some perspective.
