New figures suggest Scotland's accident and emergency departments treated 91% of patients within four hours between October and December.
This compares to 94% in the previous quarter and is slightly worse than England's performance of 92.6%.
Scottish Government targets are for at least 95% of A&E patients to be seen, admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours.
NHS Lanarkshire had the worst average figure over the period - at 85.5%.
And Aberdeen has been named Scotland's most dismal town - Do awards help or hinder your local area?
Aberdeen has won the unwanted title of the most dismal town in Scotland according to an architecture magazine. Urban Realm magazine said Aberdeen had become the "poor relation" of Scotland's cities as it awarded the annual Plook on the Plinth Carbuncle award to the Granite City. According to the magazine, Aberdeen is "where architecture goes to die". Local councillors rejected this award saying that Aberdeen was 'an ambitious city' with a 'proud history' and a masterplan to refine the city centre.
