Mr. Hutton

We do not collect figures on average waiting times in accident and emergency departments. However, we do publish data on the percentage of patients spending four hours or less in accident and emergency departments from arrival to discharge, admission or transfer. These figures can be found on the department's website at http:// www.performance.doh.gov.uk/hospitalactivity/datarequests/total_time _ae.htm
