News and Updates

This section contains news and updates on our most recent development schemes and publications including reports and statistics.

  • 27 October 2011 - The Emergency Department Waiting Times publication will be moving to a broader Emergency Department Activity publication, under the remit of ISD's Unscheduled Care programme, to be published on the 29th November 2011. This change is to ensure that work within ISD becomes more efficient, by bringing all the detailed, published Emergency Department information under a single programme. The move also acts upon the findings from consultations earlier this year which identified a need to publish further detail on Emergency Department activity and to continue publishing performance against the 4-hour standard.
  • Emergency Department Waiting Times - As agreed with key stakeholders, from August 2011 this publication will provide for each Health Board the monthly rate of attendance per 100,000. 

More news and updates will be posted as they occur.
