Queen Elizabeth University Hospital's A&E waiting times fall to record low
Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital has recorded the worst A&E waiting time figures on record, with almost two thirds of patients waiting more than four hours to be seen.
Other larger hospitals such as Perth Royal Infirmary and Dundee Ninewells also performed well against the target. Responding to the figures, Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said: "Covid continues to impact the performance of services and pandemic backlogs, Brexit-driven staff shortages, and inflation costs have all contributed to make this winter the most challenging the NHS has ever faced.Mr Yousaf said delayed discharge continued to be the single biggest factor driving up A&E waits and he was working to ensure people were leaving hospital without delay, freeing up beds for those who need them.
Dr Gulhane said the QEUH figures were "especially horrendous", adding that the data was "completely unacceptable and incredibly alarming for the safety of patients and staff at the hospital".
