NHS figures reveal more about how accident and emergency services are running as the country recovers from the pandemic. Sky News analysis shows where the best performing NHS trusts were last year, who relies most on A&E, and when you should turn up to avoid the longest waits.
However, there are times you can arrive and still be hopeful of a short wait. If you wake up feeling ill you might be better off rushing to A&E first thing rather than waiting around until lunchtime to see if you start feeling better.
Part of the reason for this may be because people who attend A&E late at night are more likely to be in a serious condition which requires complex assistance and takes longer to treat. "It remains vitally important that people continue to come forward for care when they need it by using 111 online or by calling 999 in life-threatening cases."People who live in the most deprived areas use accident and emergency centres almost twice as often as those in the richest parts of the country.
