Accident and emergency departments in England saw 92.9% of patients within four hours last week - the lowest percentage since April 2013, NHS data shows.
The government sets a quarterly target for hospitals to see 95% of emergency cases within four hours.
A&E waits have been below that level since the end of September.
The Department of Health says it recently announced extra support for A&E teams.
And officials say there is rising demand for emergency services, with more than a million extra visits to A&E last year when compared to 2010.
