The number of people experiencing long waits in accident and emergency departments has fallen slightly, the latest weekly figures show.
Patients seen within the four-hour target rose to 64.3% in the week to June 7 – up from 63.9% the week before.
Those waiting more than eight hours slightly decreased, from 11.9% to 11.7%.
Waits of more than 12 hours fell too, from 4.9% to 4.8%.
Overall, 29,124 people attended emergency departments in the week ending June 7, down from 29,920 the week prior.
Health Secretary Angela Constance said: “While there’s been some improvement in the past week, A&E departments continue to experience significant pressure.

“This is not unique to Scotland, with other UK nations facing similar demands.
“I am committed to improving A&E performance and tackling delays for patients. That’s why we will be publishing a new national plan for improving the flow of patients through our hospitals, from the front door to discharge, within our first 100 days.”
Scottish Conservative health spokesman Miles Briggs said: “The SNP’s chronic mismanagement of the NHS means that tens of thousands of Scots are still facing unacceptable waiting times at A&E every week.
“The system is in permanent crisis on John Swinney’s watch, with A&E departments completely overwhelmed, and lives are being tragically lost as a result.
“Despite the best efforts of frontline staff, the SNP’s dire workforce planning means that they simply do not have the resources they require to treat people on time.
“John Swinney and his new Health Secretary, Angela Constance, should stop pretending services are improving and instead outline proper plans to tackle this crisis and ease the pressure on frontline services.
“The Scottish Conservatives are the only party at Holyrood that can be trusted to hold this nationalist Government to account and demand that they focus on the real issues like our NHS, and not another divisive independence referendum.”
