Ranked: these are the Yorkshire NHS hospitals where patients wait the longest in A&E

A&E waiting times at Yorkshire NHS trusts

New data for October 2019 has revealed that 9 out of 11 NHS trusts in Yorkshire are failing to meet expected standards on A&E waiting times.

The NHS operational standard for A&E waiting times dictates that 95% of patients should be admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours of arriving.

The majority of trusts in Yorkshire, however, missed this target in October 2019. Here's how each trust performed in the newly-released data - ranked from best to worst.

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was the worst-performing trust in Yorkshire during October, with just 73.3 per cent of patients seen within the target four-hour window.

Data for Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust and The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust was not available.

Second-worst on waiting times was York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, where just 80.7 per cent of patients were attended to within four hours.
