The target for accident and emergency (A&E) performance is for 95% of patients to be admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours of arrival at A&E departments. This target applies throughout the year, not just over the winter period. There is no such thing as A&E winter pressure targets.

NHS England publishes monthly performance data against the standard at both national and NHS trust level for trusts within England. This data is available via the following link:
