This publication looks at Accident and Emergency activity in England for the financial year 2025-26.
It describes NHS accident and emergency activity and performance in hospitals in England. The data sources for this publication are the Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS) and the aggregate Monthly Situation Reports (MSitAE) relating to A&E attendances and emergency admissions in NHS hospitals, minor injury units and walk-in centres. The report includes analysis by patient demographics, time spent in A&E, distributions by time of arrival and day of week, arriving by ambulance, performance times, waits for admission and reattendances to A&E within 7 days. The purpose of this publication is to inform and support strategic and policy-led processes for the benefit of patient care. It may also be of interest to researchers, journalists and members of the public.Note: the MSitAE figures presented in the ‘MSitAE Report Tables’ file account for revisions to historic data and may therefore differ slightly from those shown in the ‘Quality Indicators (CQI) Open Data’ file, which is based on data published at fixed points in the year.The MSitAE data referenced throughout this report are published monthly by NHS England on the separate ‘NHS England MSitAE Home Page’, as linked to in the Related Links section below. This publication includes the total number of attendances for all A&E types, including Urgent Treatment Centres, Minor Injury Units and Walk-in Centres, and of these, the number discharged, admitted or transferred within four hours of arrival. Also included are the number of Emergency Admissions, and any waits of over four hours for admission following decision to admit.Contact detailsAuthor: Secondary Care Open Data and Publications; Activity Capacity & Planning, NHS EnglandResponsible Statistician: Karl EichlerEmail: enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.ukPress enquiries should be made to: Media Relations Manager: telephone 0300 303 3888
