FIRST MINISTER Nicola Sturgeon must sack the “failing” Health Secretary Humza Yousaf, Scottish Labour urged today after hospitals recorded their worst ever A&E waiting times.
Public Health Scotland revealed that, in the week ending October 30, only 63.1 per cent of emergency departments were seen within the four-hour wait standard — the lowest proportion recorded.
The Scottish government’s target is for 95 per cent of those attending in A&E to be dealt with within four hours.
