Scotland's accident-and-emergency (A&E) departments have narrowly missed a waiting target for the second week in a row, according to the latest figures.
In the week ending September 6, 94.8% of patients were seen and either admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours, up slightly from 93.9% the week before.
There were four health boards that failed to meet the Scottish Government's interim target of 95% of people being dealt with in four hours.
These were NHS Ayrshire and Arran (94.1%), NHS Forth Valley (92.2%), NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (92.9%) and NHS Lanarkshire (94.4%).
The poorest performing site was NHS Ayrshire and Arran's University Hospital Ayr, where 88.2% of people were seen within the four hours.
Across Scotland, 67 people had to wait eight hours or more to be treated while no patient was in the emergency department for 12 hours or more.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "While we can expect fluctuation from week to week, especially as we head towards winter, it is good to see improvement in performance this week.
"It is also promising to see the improvement on the same time last year - with performance over four percentage points higher.
"Performance over the summer period this year has been consistently higher throughout July and August with an average of 94.8% compared to 93% last summer.
"As we head into autumn, we need to continue this hard work in order to maintain and improve performance ahead of next winter."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
