You pay for it. You can't choose it. So time it.
Official figures count how fast the phone is answered. This site records what happens next, straight from the people it happened to: GP, hospital, A&E and police, side by side with the official figures.
38 surgeries in the HU postcodes
How quickly patients are seen and how quickly the phone is answered, from official NHS figures for August 2026.
Compare every surgery
One table for the whole area, with the England figure for reference and a plain guide to reading it fairly.
Waits by hospital and specialty
3 local providers and 34 specialties: how many are waiting, for how long, and how that compares with England.
Sat in A&E right now?
Time your visit on your phone, next to the official four-hour figures. In a GP or clinic waiting room? Open its page and tap "I'm here".
Humberside Police
How fast calls are answered, and how long people wait for an officer to get in touch, attend or give an update.
3 waits logged so far
Answering a call in two seconds says nothing about whether anyone came. Booking an appointment says nothing about the days spent trying to get one. People log what really happened: how long it took, how often it was cancelled, whether they were kept informed and whether anyone turned up. 1 clock is running right now.
A record we build together
This site belongs to the people of Hull and the Humber. Nobody is paid to make a service look good here, and nobody is paid to make it look bad.
One person's wait is easy to wave away. Hundreds, logged by the people they happened to and set beside the official figures, are a record. It lets all of us hold our services to account for what really happens, not only for how fast the phone is answered. And when a service does well, the same record shows it.
Log yours. Then tell a neighbour.
How it works
1. Pick where you waited
Your GP surgery, a hospital clinic or the police, and what you needed. Sat in a waiting room or A&E right now? Time it live.
2. Give two dates
The day you first tried and the day it was sorted. Still waiting? Start a clock and stop it later.
3. Confirm by email
One tap proves you're real. No account, no names, no opinions. Your email is deleted once your wait is finished.
Kept fair
- Facts, not opinions. Dates and numbers only. There is no comment box anywhere on the site.
- Good and bad. A quick wait counts exactly as much as a slow one. This is a record, not a complaints board.
- No individuals. Figures are for a surgery, a clinic or a police force, never a named person.
- Ten before anything shows. A service's reported figures appear only once ten people have logged a wait.
- Official and reported side by side. Never merged into one score, and each says what it does and doesn't count.
