Accident and Emergency Departments: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients have waited longer than 24 hours for treatment in A&E in the last 12 months.
Answered by Karin Smyth
NHS England publishes monthly data on accident and emergency (A&E) performance. This includes information on those A&E attendances that are 12 hours or longer for type 1 and 2 A&E providers. The data is available at the following link:
