Part of General Question Time – in the Scottish Parliament am ar 6 Chwefror 2025.
I accept the situation that Carol Mochan has set out with regard to the four-hour standard. We have rehearsed and discussed some of the issues that are driving that, including the hospital occupancy and delayed discharge issues that Oliver Mundell and Emma Harper have referenced. This morning, I met Colin Pullman, the executive director of the Royal College of Nursing, to discuss the RCN’s report on corridor care, and I committed to exploring further how we can, consistently, have a greater sense of what the picture looks like and, therefore, how we can address it.
