No specific estimate of waiting times in Coventry and the West Midlands has been made as the data is not collected in the format requested. NHS Digital collects data on median waiting times by National Health Service trust, which is aggregated at national level. In May 2022, the median average waiting time in accident and emergency at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust was 128 minutes and 186 minutes in England.
