Monthly A&E Activity and Waiting Times Edit

On 2 May 2023, this release was updated to include additional data for demographics, referral and when people attend. Please note that discharge destination is now in a separate file and that some of the variable names in the monthly attendance and waiting times data have changed to better align them between data releases. Weekly A&E open data can now be found here.\r\n\r\nPlease note as of the 4th of February 2025 there have been some updates to the open data. The data now includes new planned activity and this data is available from December 2020. Further information on new planned activity can be found here. The Department Type names have changed and Type 1 replaces ED and Type 3 replaces MIU/Other. Further information is available in the A&E Data Recording manual.\r\n\r\nPlease also note that the Monthly Accident and Emergency Activity data now contains a breakdown by attendance category with New Planned and Unplanned and an All which is a combination of the New Planned and Unplanned. When doing calculations on the data either filter out All or Unplanned/New Planned to prevent double counting.\r\n\r\nThis release by Public Health Scotland (PHS), provides a monthly update of key statistics on attendances at Accident & Emergency Departments (A&E) across Scotland. The information includes trends in the number of attendances and proportion waiting over 4, 8 and 12 hours, and from May 2023 this release was expanded to include data on demographics, when patients attend, referral source, discharge destination and multiple attenders.
