The NHS in England has missed its A&E waiting time target for every week of winter, figures show.
Hospitals are meant to see 95% of patients in four hours, but during the 18 weeks since the start of November that has been missed every week.
NHS England has also admitted the 2014-15 average will be below the target - the first time this has happened for a whole year.
Hospitals in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have also struggled.
Each nation has missed its target, which relates to the time from arrival to being discharged, admitted or transferred, during November, December and January.
Northern Ireland has also published a figure for February, which showed 71.4% of patients were seen in fours, the lowest its been this winter.
