Plan to tackle England's NHS backlog delayed
When patients arrive at hospital by ambulance they should be handed over within 15 minutes. This data shows the proportion of ambulance patients who waited 30 minutes or more, in the week shown. It comes from daily situation reports which are published weekly during the winter in England. As this is fast-turnaround data, the NHS says only minimal validation can be carried out but it is considered fit for purpose.Patients at A&E should be seen within four hours of arrival.
When you enter a postcode for a location in England you will be shown a list of NHS trusts in your area. They will not necessarily be in order of your closest hospital as some trusts have more than one hospital. Data for Wales and Scotland are shown by NHS board. A third of on-the-day cancellations of operations were due to people not being clinically ready for treatment, the Department of Health and Social Care said.
Officials want to publish it as soon as they can, having got what was understood to be backing from Downing Street. "At the height of the pandemic the NHS rightly focused on treating Covid-19 patients, but sadly it has meant waiting lists have risen - and the Covid backlog is going to keep rising," he said.
