'Humza Yousaf's record-breaking failure putting lives at risk' - Labour
The SNP MSP was appointed as Scotland's health secretary in May 2021.
Humza Yousaf is “disastrously out of his depth” as Scotland’s health secretary, it has been claimed.
It comes after waiting times figures for accident and emergency departments hit a record low.
Official figures published earlier this month showed that thousands of people had to wait for more than four hours before being attended to.
Just 63.5% of patients in emergency departments in the week up to September 11 were seen before either being admitted or discharged within that time – significantly below the Scottish Government’s 95% target.
A record number of people – 9,895 – had to wait for more than four hours during that period, out of the 27,097 total number of attendances.

No fan of Labour either but like a stopped clock, for once they're right.
