<p>This information is not held in the format requested. NHS Digital collects data
on median waiting times by National Health Service trust in England. Waiting time
data is not collected by London borough.</p><p>In July 2022, the average median waiting
time to treatment in accident and emergency (A&E) was 79 minutes in England and
174 minutes in Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust. The
total average median waiting time in A&E was 190 minutes in England and 395 minutes
in Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust.</p><p>NHS bed capacity
will be increased by the equivalent of at least 7,000 general and acute beds to reduce
waiting times for admission from A&E. The provision of same day emergency care
and acute frailty services will be increased and NHS 111 will have an enhanced role
as the first point of triage for urgent care services, supported by an additional
£50 million in 2022/23 to increase call taking capacity. The National Discharge Taskforce
aims to reduce delayed discharge across acute, mental health and community care settings,
working with social care partners to implement best practice.</p>
