Episode Details

Scotland’s A&E crisis hit a terrifying new low in May, with just 67.7% of patients seen within the four-hour target — the worst May on record. For five straight months, May has been the worst ever for wait times, and even April wasn’t better. Over eight and twelve-hour waits remain stubbornly high, straining staff and risking lives. Politicians blame the government for broken promises and a collapsing social care system, while health officials admit record patient volumes are overwhelming hospitals — a UK-wide problem. A new 100-day plan to fix hospital flow is on the way, but urgent action is needed to relieve pressure and save lives.
