Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of emergency departments were co-located with urgent treatment centres in the most recent period for which data is available.
There are currently 86, which is approximately half, type 1 accident and emergency units with a co-located urgent treatment centre (UTC).
Further co-located UTCs will be built as a result of the capital funding provided as part of our Urgent and Emergency Care Plan for 2025/26.
