A&E waiting times 'getting worse'
By Nick Triggle Health correspondent

Waiting times in A&E departments across the UK are worsening as pressures grow in hospitals, figures suggest.

The data, collected by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, showed 88% of A&E patients were treated or admitted within four hours - below the 95% target.

The figures are based on evidence submitted by more than 40 trusts - one in five of the total in the UK.

Hospitals also reported significant problems discharging patients.
