These are NHS England’s official monthly A&E statistics for the trust. “All A&E” includes urgent treatment centres, minor injury units and walk-in centres the trust runs, where most people are seen sooner. This is a fact about the A&E department, not a grade or a verdict. Departments see different patients: one that admits more people, or takes the most seriously ill, will often have longer times.
