Summary
Scotland’s A&E departments are under relentless pressure, with just 66% of patients meeting the four-hour target—down from 95% of the goal. Over 9,000 people waited longer than four hours last week, and more than 3,000 faced waits of eight hours or more. Opposition parties slam the government for years of missed targets, warning winter will be worse, and blame underfunded social care. The Scottish Government admits the strain is nationwide, promising a new national strategy within 100 days to speed up patient flow—but real change will depend on execution.
