Glasgow's super hospital has returned the worst A&E waiting times on record with just over a third of patients seen within the government's four-hour target.
The number of people attending accident and emergency departments fell slightly to 25,465, a fall of 815 from the week ending November 13. Responding to the figures, 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.
“Clearly, things aren’t improving despite repeated promises from the SNP that they will get a handle on this chaos. Staff are doing all they can but they and their patients are being failed by this Health Secretary. The abysmal figures reported from the QEUH show the intense pressure facing our hospitals, and things are only getting worse.
