Scottish government told to ‘wake up’ to the A&E crisis
THE Scottish government must “wake up” to the crisis unfolding at Scotland’s A&E units, Scottish Labour said today.
Statistics released this week have shown that only 71.3 per cent of people at A&E were seen within four hours in the week ending October 10, equalling a record low set last month.
Of this percentage, some 1,871 spent more than eight hours in A&E departments and 612 people waited longer than 12 hours.
