Long A&E waits: 3m a year wait over four hours The number of long A&E waits across the UK has more than doubled in the past four years as hospitals struggle to cope with demand, BBC analysis shows.
Northern Ireland has the worst performance, although England has seen the fastest deterioration, the figures show.
Over 3m patients who visited UK A&Es waited over four hours in the past 12 months - up by 120% since 2012-13.
By comparison the number of visits has only risen by just over 7% to 26.9m. BBC News
