The NHS in England has missed its four-hour A&E waiting time for the first time this winter, figures show.
In the last week, 94.8% of patients were seen within four hours compared to 95.6% the week before. The target is 95%.
The figures cover all centres - major A&Es, smaller minor injury units and urgent care centres.
Waiting times are worst in the major units where only 92.2% were seen within four hours.
The figures show two thirds of the 144 trusts with major units are missing the target.
It is the first time since April the target has been missed overall - although the major units have been below the 95% mark since July.
