Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when NHS England will begin publishing 12-hour data measured from the time of arrival on the wait for admission to hospitals.

NHS Digital collects information from National Health Service providers on the number of patients waiting more than 12 hours from arrival in emergency departments, which is published annually. While NHS England is considering arrangements for further publication of data on waiting times of 12 hours from arrival, it is currently unable to confirm a specific timetable.
