ONLY three fifths of patients who attended Victoria Hospital's A&E unit were dealt with in the Scottish Government's four hour target.
The latest figures, for the week ending August 13, have revealed that from the 1,325 people who visited the unit, just 60.7 per cent were seen in the four hour timescale.
There were 521 people who waited over four hours, 132 who were there for more than eight hours and 21 people whose wait exceeded 12 hours.
