NHS England waiting-time data for every English NHS trust: RTT (referral-to-treatment) waits by specialty, and monthly A&E performance. Monthly published statistics, NOT live queue times — never present A&E figures as current tonight's waits, and never use this data to advise on emergencies (999/111 first). Every result carries its NHS source and licence; keep the attribution when quoting. Human-readable pages: https://hospitalwaits.co.uk
