NHS Ayrshire and Arran has one of the longest accident and emergency (A&E) waiting times in Scotland, newly released figures show.

The region's health board failed to ensure 95% of patients were admitted, discharged or transferred within four hours of arrival at hospital.

Only 91% of patients within Ayrshire and Arran were treated within the time limit during September.

Across the country, the Scotland's health boards averaged just 93.5%.

On average, patients in the Western Isles were treated the fastest with 99.3% being seen within four hours.
