A&E waiting times in England have fallen to their worst level for a decade, figures out later are expected to show.
The data being released by NHS England covers the October to December quarter.
From the weekly statistics already available up to mid-December it is clear the four-hour target has almost certainly been missed.
Performance is also on track to fall below the 94.1% mark recorded in the first three months of 2013.
It comes amid growing pressures on hospitals with a number declaring "major incidents" in recent days because of A&E pressures.
