NHS England counts this centre's patients with York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals, so its own figure is not published. This is every centre and minor unit the trust runs, added together. The NHS plan for 2026-27 sets lower goals on the way, such as 82% for A&E, an average of 25 minutes for ambulance emergencies and 70% for hospital waits.

Counted with the trust
This centre is run by York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. NHS England counts its patients within the trust's own four-hour figures, together with its A&E, so they cannot be shown for this centre on its own. See the trust's figures.
What isn't published
There are no monthly published figures for how long patients here wait for the first assessment or to be seen. That is what the timer records.
Arrived by ambulance? See how long ambulances take to arrive and to hand patients over.
Waiting here right now?
Start the timer when you've booked in at reception. Tap when you're assessed, when you're seen and when you leave. Someone who is with the patient can do it. Figures appear once 10 visits have been timed.

Know where you stand
- Standards, not rights. The four-hour A&E standard and the ambulance response times are targets the NHS sets itself. Missing one does not give you a legal claim.
- Use Martha's Rule if someone is getting worse. If a patient in hospital is deteriorating and you feel you are not being listened to, you can ask for a rapid review by a different team, at hospitals that have introduced Martha's Rule. Ask the staff how to call for it. NHS England: Martha's Rule
- Complain about your care or your wait. To the hospital or the ambulance service, within 12 months. PALS at the hospital can help first. NHS England: how to complain
All your rights, and how to complain

Kept fair
- Times only. We never ask why you are there, what is wrong or who treated you.
- The sickest go first. Patients are treated in order of need, not arrival, so a long wait for a minor problem can be the system working.
- Good and bad. A quick visit counts exactly as much as a slow one.
- Nothing goes to the hospital. Timing your visit does not tell staff anything or change your place in the queue.
