Definition and caveats

Attendances at accident and emergency departments in England in the month, across all department types: major A&Es (type 1), single-specialty departments (type 2) and minor injury units and urgent treatment centres (type 3).

Doesn’t measure: People (one person can attend repeatedly), ambulance callouts, NHS 111 contacts, or how serious the attendances were: a rise can mean more illness or more use of A&E instead of other services.
