Two NHS England monthly publications are combined here. A&E Attendances and Emergency Admissions gives, for every provider, the number of attendances by department type, how many waited more than 4 hours, how many waited 4–12 and 12+ hours from a decision to admit, and emergency admissions. Ambulance Quality Indicators (AmbSYS) gives, for every ambulance trust, call and response times, what happened to each incident, and hospital handover times.
- Type 1 department
- A consultant-led, 24-hour emergency department with full resuscitation facilities — the “major A&E”. Type 2 is a single-specialty A&E (for example eye casualty); “other” covers urgent treatment centres, minor injury units and walk-in centres.
- 4-hour performance
- Share of attendances admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours of arrival. Shown for type 1 alone and for all department types; the all-types figure is the one NHS England reports against the national standard.
- 12-hour decision-to-admit waits
- Patients who waited more than 12 hours between the decision to admit them and admission to a bed (“trolley waits”). Shown as a count and per 1,000 type 1 attendances so trusts of different sizes compare fairly.
- Emergency admissions via A&E
- Emergency admissions that came through an A&E department (all types). Other emergency admissions (for example direct GP admissions) are excluded.
- Per day
- Monthly count divided by the number of days in the month, so months of different lengths compare.
- ICB and region totals
- The ICB figure is the sum of providers registered to that ICB in the ODS; providers serving several ICBs count once, in their registered ICB. The region figure sums every provider in the NHS England region; England is NHS England’s own total row.
- Category 2 response
- Emergency calls such as stroke or chest pain. The mean and 90th-centile times from call to arrival on scene. The national standard is a mean of 18 minutes (30 minutes was the 2024/25 and 2025/26 interim target).
- Hear and treat
- Incidents closed with clinical advice over the telephone, with no ambulance sent, as a share of all incidents.
- Conveyed to ED
- Incidents where the patient was taken to an emergency department, as a share of all incidents.
- Handover over 30 / 60 minutes
- Share of hospital handovers (ambulance arrival to the hospital taking responsibility for the patient) that took longer than 30 or 60 minutes. Published from October 2023.
- Ambulance trust for your ICB
- Chosen from the ICB’s NHS England region (London → London Ambulance Service, and so on; split regions use the ICB’s own trust). Use the selector to compare any other trust.
- Royal Free London
- Includes North Middlesex University Hospital from January 2025, when the two trusts merged; the Royal Free series steps up from that month and North Middlesex reports no separate data after December 2024.
