Woman, 93, dies after waiting in hospital corridor
Mary Scott died 12 days after spending six hours waiting for an ambulance and two and a half hours on a trolley in a hospital corridor in Paisley, her family said.
The claim came as First Minister Alex Salmond was heavily criticised at Holyrood yesterday over NHS waiting lists and the “crisis” in A&E units.

Mr Salmond said this winter had been “challenging” for hospitals, but said waiting lists had improved under the SNP.
