Worst figures ever: A&E waiting times, only 75% of patients seen within four hours. The target is 95%.


Any source for that claim? Or is it just more opinion paraded as fact?

Even the BBC says: Worst ever month for A&E
Overall just 81.4% of A&E patients were seen within four hours last month - that is the worst performance since the target was introduced in 2004.

And if 81.4% is the worst since the target was introduced in 2004 then your figure of 75% seems rather dubious!
