Parking Inverclyde Royal Hospital
ACCIDENT and emergency waiting time target performance has slipped at Inverclyde Royal.
The percentage of patients seen within four hours of arrival at the hospital between July 10 and July 16 was 81.7 percent, a fall from the previous week's figure of 87.8.
This was far better than the Scottish average of 69.6 percent and the rate across the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde health board area, which was 66.2 percent.
The Scottish Government's target is for 95 percent of patients to be admitted, discharged or transferred within four hours of arrival at an accident and emergency department.
