Request and Response

It is my understanding that the triage standard for a patient presenting at an Emergency Department is 15 minutes.

As such, can I request the following, for the first six months of 2024, broken down by both hospital and month?

  1. How many patients waited longer than a) 15 minutes; b) 30 minutes; c) 45 minutes) d) over one hour to be triaged?
  2. What was the longest A&E triage time?

It is my understanding that this information can be provided in Excel format, which would be preferred.
