NHS England providers with the longest A&E waiting times in May 2025
In May 2025, less than half of attendances in the accident and emergency (A&E) department in the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust were seen within **** hours of their arrival. The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust was the provider with the lowest share of patients seen within **** hours in this time period, and as with the rest of the providers shown in the chart, well below the NHS target that ** percent of patients should be seen within **** hours of arrival to A&E.
It has been a long time since the target of 95 percent was last achieved by all NHS England providers.
