Patient's A&E treatment delay lasted 84 hours

An Ayrshire patient had to wait three-and-half days for emergency treatment, the Scottish Tories have revealed.

Conservative leader Douglas Ross challenged Nicola Sturgeon at First Minister's Questions over whether anyone should have to go through that kind of experience in 2022.

Ms Sturgeon said the case was unacceptable but "exceptional" and insisted the government was taking action to ensure speedier access to A&E.
