The new 842 million Queen Elizabeth University in Glasgow is falling below a key waiting times target.

It had the lowest compliance of any individual site while the other two that faired the worst were Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride and Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.

The Scottish Government target is of 95% of cases to be dealt with in four hours, but hasn't been met since September.
