Louise White asks listeners if they would expect to be seen within four hours in A&E and if awards help or hinder their area, following Aberdeen being named the 'most dismal town'.

Do you expect to be seen in A&E within 4 hours?
You can call 0500 92 95 00. Or Text 80295.

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.
