Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many patients admitted to accident and emergency departments in London in each quarter of each of the last four years waited for more than 12 hours before being treated or transferred to a ward. [135156]

Mr. Hutton

The information requested is not collected centrally. However, data on total time spent in accident and emergency from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge has been collected and routinely published since July 2002. This information is available on the Department's website at www.doh.gov.uk/hospitalactivitv.
