MORE than a third of A&E patients in Scotland wait to be seen for over four hours, latest figures show.

NHS services are still coming under significant  and sustained pressure, Scotland’s Health Secretary Michael Matheson warned today.

Official data shows that of the 25,294 people who attended A&E in the week ending April 2, less than two thirds (63 per cent) were dealt with within four hours, down slightly from 63.3 per cent the previous week.
