In week-ending 1st December, 81.2% of attendances at NHS Scotland A&E services were seen and resulted in a subsequent admission, transfer or discharge within 4 hours
In NHS England the figure was 67.89%

These are RCEM figures released to the media. NHS England has not yet openly published data for November, never mind December.
The Scottish figure 81.2% is thus 19.6% better than 67.89%.
The gap may be even greater as NHS England restart the clock once the patient has been admitted whereas NHS Scotland count from arrival in A&E.

Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
What a shame David Leask will no longer be around to pick up your stories John, and run with them to further enlighten and educate the britnat readership of the Herod. One learns from beeb Scotland website that Leasky has supped wi’ the deil aince tae aften – and is one of the Newsquest ‘churnalists’ who is being ‘let go’ by the end of the year. He’s served his purpose well – doubtless someone will see him alright – as they say. Link and snippet below:

Last month it was reported Newsquest had invited applications for voluntary redundancy at the Herald and its Sunday stablemate as a cost-saving measure
Management was also said to have warned that compulsory redundancies might be necessary unless an unspecified number of journalists volunteered to leave.
Several high-profile Newsquest journalists took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce that they had opted to leave the publisher by the end of the year.
They include The Herald’s chief reporter, David Leask, and social affairs correspondent, Stephen Naysmith.

Sad, sad, sad–it wid bring a tear tae a gless e’e (in my case, with laughter). The Deil’s wages are eternal damnation, or if you work for the Colonial media, yer P45 when you have served your purpose.
Its a great pity that the Hootsman wasn’t purchased by \Christen Agar-Hanssen, it might have given a semblance of balance, and BBC Hootsman wouldn’t have the excuse they are following the press..
I would have liked the Scottish government to have put restrictions on the press at the time of Leveson (its a devolved issue), to force proper standards of journalism. Its a great pity there are not more newspapers out there, to cover all interests rather than just the interests of the rich oligarchs.
