Nearly one-third of patients in Scotland have to wait over 1 year to see a specialist
Update:
It’s been pointed out that I’ve misread the statistics in the article. It seems that one-third of those in Scotland who had to wait over 1 year to see a specialist were in the Lothians – not one-third of all patients in Scotland. That’s still a long time. Apologies.
