A count of National Health Service hospital provider sites with an average of over 300 accident and emergency (A&E) attendances per day in Harlow, Essex, East of England and England, in the financial years 2012-13 to 2016-17, is shown in the following table.<\/p>

<\/p>

Due to coding issues within NHS Digital\u2019s Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) dataset, as well as some providers running multiple A&E departments from the same hospital site, there may be undercounts within the data. Figures shown are representative of the number of admissions, not the number of individual patients as a person may have more than one attendance within the time periods shown:<\/p>

Accident and emergency (A&E) department types are defined according to the activity performed. The definitions are as follows:<\/p>

<\/p>

Type 1<\/p><\/td>

Emergency departments \u2013 consultant-led 24-hour services with full resuscitation facilities and designated accommodation for the reception of accident and emergency patients.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Type 2<\/p><\/td>

Consultant-led mono specialty accident and emergency services (e.g. ophthalmology or dental) with designated accommodation for the reception of patients.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Type 3<\/p><\/td>

Other type of A&E/minor injury activity with designated accommodation for the reception of accident and emergency patients. The department may be doctor-led or nurse-led, treats at least minor injuries and illnesses and can be routinely accessed without an appointment. A service mainly or entirely appointment-based (for example a general practitioner practice or outpatient clinic) is excluded even though it may treat a number of patients with minor illness or injury. This category excludes National Health Service walk-in centres.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Weekly situation reports collected by NHS England are the official source of information about accident and emergency waiting times. These measure the number of patients admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours of arrival at an accident and emergency department, but do not provide information on average waiting times.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Information is available in hospital episode statistics from 2007-08 on average waiting times to assessment, treatment and departure in accident and emergency departments, and is shown in the following tables. The duration to departure times are most closely aligned to the official information.<\/p>

Notes:<\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

1. HES for accident and emergency (A&E) were first collected for 2007-08.<\/p>

<\/p>

2. The recording of duration in HES A&E is not mandatory, and this may have particularly affected the quality of recorded durations to assessment and treatment.<\/p>

<\/p>

3. Information relates to all types of accident and emergency departments.<\/p>

<\/p>

4. Duration to assessment is the total amount of time in minutes between the patients\u2019 arrival and their initial assessment in the A&E department. This is calculated as the difference in time from arrival at A&E to the time when the patient is initially assessed.<\/p>

<\/p>

5. Duration to treatment is the total amount of time in minutes between the patients\u2019 arrival and the start of their treatment. This is calculated as the difference in time from arrival at A&E to the time when the patient began treatment.<\/p>

<\/p>

6. Duration to departure is total amount of time spent in minutes in an A&E department. This is calculated as the difference in time from arrival at A&E to the time when the patient is discharged from A&E care. This includes being admitted to hospital, dying in the department, discharged with no follow up or discharged and referred to another specialist department.<\/p>
