The Tories accused Mr Yousaf of “presiding over complete chaos in our A&E departments”
Secretary Humza Yousaf – with Tories claiming that more than 56,000 Scots have spent at least half a day in accident and emergency since he was given the job.
Meanwhile, Scottish Labour calculated that between January and October 2022 a total of 42,100 Scots spent more than 12 hours in A&E Conservative health spokesman Dr Sandesh Gulhane said: “Everyone knows Humza Yousaf is presiding over complete chaos in our A&E departments, but this exposes just how catastrophic his tenure has been.
“Humza Yousaf is literally putting more and more lives needlessly on the line. It is utterly disgraceful that almost 1,300 patients waited 12 hours or more in the week ending December 4, compared to just over 100 in his first week as Health Secretary. Meanwhile, Scottish Labour health spokesperson Jackie Baillie said: “The facts are plain for all to see – Scotland’s A&E services have been plunged into a deadly freefall by Humza Yousaf’s dangerous negligence.
